Acer Aspire 5253 Sluuggish acting

I'm trying to fix Acer Aspire 5253 a friend. It came with Win 7, which has been altered, so I installed Win 8.1. He worked for a while and then refused to start so I reinstalled Win 8.1. It worked well, but now is sluuggish, taking too long to respond to commands from the keyboard. When I go online to a news article it freezes when I try to scroll to the bottom of the page. Windows says that internet Explorer is unresponsive. When I try to restore the same web page. This has happened on two successive days. I discovered after installing Win 8.1 that Acer does not support Win 8.1 for this laptop. However, it supports 8 Win, & I have been informed that Win 8.1 should work. I found scan with HD Tune recently that the hard drive has 40 bad sectors, according to the most recent analysis 41 today. Makes it sound like I should forget Win 8.1 and reinstall Win 7, buy a new hard drive, or is there another solution? Antivirus software is updated and a complete analysis of the system shows no malware. All Windows updates have been downloaded & installed. I tried to update all the drivers, but in each case, said that the best driver is already installed.

buy a new HARD drive in my opinion.

  • my laptop fell to the bottom of the acer aspire 5253

    After the slaughter, I logged in but when I turned on, he gave me notice that I have to start with disk recommending that it cannot start because it is no bootable disk. Can someone help me what I need to do?

    Seems to me that you'll need a repair or replacement of equipment.  There are several things that could cause this error, but I guess that something on the laptop is damaged: the hard drive, connection is the motherboard, something else, and how much it will cost is impossible to say.

    Good luck!

  • Acer Aspire V3 722 G several problems due to a BIOS update

    As I wrote in the title, I have an Acer Aspire V3 772 G computer laptop and recently he acted strange regarding the overheating and stuttering eventhough I clean it regularly and she should not do any of those at all, I keep everything updated, everything except the BIOS that is, so I searched, I discovered that some people got rid of these same problems with a simple update of the BIOS. So I decided to do the same thing, found good download, made sure it was for my model, but I must have missed something because after the update has been (apparently successful) fact, the computer restarted, but after the Acer splash screen, a message appeared that said 'by default boot device missing or impossible start' and after pressing Enter, it takes me to a screen where I should be able to choose a boot device, but there is no device to choose and the only way out of this is to unplug the laptop and restart it. After many hours of trying to figure out why the update failed and how to recover the BIOS and either try to reinstall the most recent roll to the other older, I accidentally discovered that I could access the BIOS settings part, where I could see the information on the laptop itself and BIOS (curiously It says that the version is the most recent 1.15) and the other parameters such as order of device boot and BIOS password, but some options are grayed out and inaccessible for me (e.g. factory reset). So as soon as now, I don't know if I've messed up in the first place or if it's something completely different (since I wasn't able to find a person who had the same problem) and would be very grateful for any help.

    Thanks in advance

    Go into your Bios Startup tab and see if it changed your startup mode.

  • Need a link to DL Firefox 7.0.1 for linux, lang fi - FI (Finnish), to install on Acer Aspire one notebook with linpus linux.

    I got an Acer Aspire One 110 with Linpus Linux lite. Nobody has updated, so the browser to this topic is Firefox 2.0.0.14, which is a major concern for safety.

    The latest version of linux that works properly (as shown) is Firefox 7.0.1. Some people have reported problems from Firefox 8 in Linpus Lite.

    So I need to find a link where I can download this version of Firefox, in Finnish (apparently lang = fi - FI) because Mozilla has removed his breaks like a stale version.

    However, as it is the most recent version to work properly under Linpus Linux Lite (and also in view of the features of the Acer Aspire One 110), I could really use a download link for this version of Firefox, 7.0.1 in Finnish language.

    You can download it here

  • Acer Aspire One D270 does not turn on!

    Have an Acer Aspire One D270. I've had for about 4-5 months now. Today it suddenly has stopped and it won't turn on. I left for a few hours but nothing yet. I thought it was a battery problem but the charging light does not turn. I know for sure, it is not the charger. Please help me! Thanks in advance!

    [Moved from comments]

    Nevermind found the solution...                                                                                                              Follow the steps below. (Please be careful when you handle the electrical components of the computer such as batteries and power adapters)

    • Remove the battery and hold the power for a few seconds (drain any remaining power)
    • Turning on the computer without the battery with the AC adapter is plugged in.
    • Wait a few seconds and then reconnect the battery

    After a few tries the computer should start normally supported. The amber battery stops flashing and turns green when fully charged.
