Acer laptop refuses any external connection?
Hi! I recently was given an Acer Aspire 5100 laptop and was said I could keep it if I got it to work. It runs Windows 7 Ultimate. The problem is that no external connections work - neither USB, nor Ethernet/LAN nor the internal CD drive (and therefore I can't even reinstall windows). The wireless internet connection works though. What can I do to get this running? Thanks a lot in advance.

You forgot to describe the problem. Just telling us what doesn't work isn't helpful. You have to tell us how you've tried to use them, how far you got, and exactly what went wrong.

go into bios and turn enable those things that you say dont work. To enter BIOS restart the machine and it will say "press ? to enter setup" this maybe the F1,F2 or Del key or another. Look around the menu and try to find where it mentions usb and ethernet and all the things you say dont work, then enable them or do this below Enter setup and load fail safe and defaults. Although have you tried restarting the machine and repeatedly tapping F8 and choose last known good config or safe mode?Could you try this please? I am thinking they spilled water on the keyboard and messed up the motherboard, but that thought might not be true good luck
