Acer Aspire AO532h went dark
My Acer Aspire suddenly went dark after 3 years of service. When I press the power button, it turns on. I can hear the roar of fan of tha. The HARD drive light flashes for a split second and then nothing happens. No POST, Fn + Esc screen does not work. I tried to use the external monitor and external boot CD - none of them worked. I could use Fn + Esc only one time only with a boot disk USB and flashed the BIOS later but has not helped. Sometimes even the power button no longer works and behaves the laptop died, will not charge the battery. Any suggestions?
Ok. I took the customer of Acer. They understood that the processor fan, the IO card and the cable of the LCD are bad. But they refused to a maintenance operation saying that the parts are not available. Given that the netbook is only 3 years old, it is regrettable that Acer does not provide its parts more. Nevertheless, I bought all the parts on ebay and it repaired myself. Reason enough for me to not buy another Acer again.

A few weeks ago, my laptop Acer Aspire R14 went totally blank. When I unplugged the power cord, it started right to the top, but at the moment where I plugged the power cord back inside would be closed. The battery dies quickly in this way, because it would not charge. I removed the battery then it started upward with the power cord. I thought it must be the battery, so I installed a new battery. which is not to change the problem.
So, I ordered a new motherboard and after a few weeks, I received it today, installed, and I have always the same thing. It works well with the power cord plugged in until the battery is disconnected. But at the time wherever I connect the battery, everything stops, not to be revived unless I disconnect the battery.
I need help! What could be the problem?
Glad I could help.

I bought myself a nice 5240 again 301 printer all-in-on Wednesday.
Since then, I have made that fight with him since then.
My laptop is an Acer Aspire one, one of the smallest, which unfortunately doesn't have a hard drive in it. My first thought went to download drivers. The web page did not work and I realized then, that, without the user manual (which I think is on the disc), I'm totally lost.
If someone could please help me.
I made an impression that says.
Check your network printer name HP (SSID) corresponds exactly to your router (SSID) wireless network name.
If they do not exactly match, run set up the printer software to set up your HP printer wireless.
I guess that's the software on the drive. Is it possible to download the software online?
Any help would be accepted with gratitude that I have no idea what I'm doing atm. I just starting to learn how to properly use Windows 8 atm, so far my computer all skills hass been how to open a browser and an office.
Thank you.
I would add also, I downloaded the application too, but which does not recognize that there is a printer at all.
Hi, here is the link for the driver.
Link to the user guide.

Can I change the processor and graphics card on my acer aspire?
Hello
recently I went in game
And I really want to be able to play at HQ
So my question is: can I put a new processor and video card
In my acer aspire witouth problems?
Doesn't look like as you can change the processor. Limits to the motherboard. But there is no onboard video. If you get a low profile graphics card and added it to the computer, it could work. But because the computer is an older computer, you will not be able to put in the last and best. I would like to talk to a local technician to see what is available in your area for this computer.

Problems with Acer Aspire V5 - 573 G UEFI?
Hello
I have Acer Aspire V5 - 573G. Before all the problems start I used Legacy BIOS mode with 10 Windows Pro 64 bit OS. Have the latest BIOS v2.30.
So, recently, I decide to move from the Legacy BIOS UEFI and reinstalled Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with UEFI mode activated with the GPT partition style. Everything went well with the installation.
Now I am facing following issues with UEFI and Windows 10 witch, which I didn't in Legacy BIOS mode:
- When the laptop goes to sleep and is not touched for a while, I can't wake up to laptop. Press any key on the keyboard or touch the touchpad don't wake it either. Only way is to press the Power button to stop completely and then turn it back on. I don't know if it's something to do with the Windows settings to resolve this problem.
- Restart Windows sometimes stop laptop computer. It's really strange... Windows shows it restarts, screen goes black and does not start, instead it laptop shutdown. ??
- And when I shut down the system, it is not entirely clear. Often the blue light continues to blink, CPU and GPU fans are always and still closing system entirely to press on the button / stop.
These issues are somehow related to UEFI, because I had no such problems with the traditional mode and Windows 10. This is starting to annoy me when the laptop stops completely.
Any help on this?
Thank you!

I need to replace the hard drive of my Acer Aspire all-in-one 5600U?
I have an Acer Aspire all-in-one 5600U. The other day the power in our House went out due to a storm. After she came back and went to use my computer, the screen was black and said "Reboot and select proper... boot device." ». I tried to download the tool of creation of media to a USB port and start the system using this. I can get into the menu troubleshooting but nothing works. When I try to make a custom Windows installation, it says "no signed device drivers were found". What is a hard drive problem? In the BIOS, under Boot Options is does not list a specific hard drive. It just says: 'hard drive '. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.
Thanks, that's what I needed to know. Appreciate the help, IronFly.

Cannot enter BIOS or Option of Boot to display on my desktop Acer Aspire M3450
For the last few days I tried to access in the BIOS or The Boot Options screen by pressing the keys with " DEL " for BIOS and ' F12 ' to The Boot Options screen. Same pressing down both keys on my keyboard and switch to normal startup with Windows 10 logo screen and then type password. I'm sure you know that this office is not supported for parameters of the UEFI. I tried with Settings\Update and Security-Advanced Options- then have 6 names on the double column , but I'm not sure that one to take to solve the problem. Here are the 6 names below:
System restore
System Image recovery
Startup Repair
Command prompt
Startup parameters
Go back to the previous version
Everything what I wan tis to solve two things by pressing the ekys for BIOS and the Boot Options screen. That's all that I need it. Or I need to reinstall the entire disk operating system Microsoft Windows 10 Home Premium 64? Either way, my computer's desktop Acer Aspire M3450 game.
Thank you
John
It's a good thing I do not get out the my desktop's CMOS battery. Someone I know told me I 'Try to change the keyboard' Guess - it works now. The USB keyboard that I just bought does not work so I went back to the wireless keyboard that I used all the time. So now my problem is solved.
Can I ask a question - why doesn't the USB keyboard support to accept that I press the key after the reboot for BIOS or Boot Display Options? Hope that someone here in this forum will answer for that.
Thank you

Acer Aspire V3 772 G BIOS grayed out
Hello
I have a laptop Acer Aspire V3 (model G 772-9643), Acer sent me the recovery disks for. The first two steps they registered on the included sheet was to insert the disc labeled "System drive", then reboot and press F12 to get into the boot menu.When F12 has not worked for me, I went into the BIOS with F2 and discovered that F12 Boot has been disabled. I tried to go down with the arrow, but couldn't. All the options are greyed out, even on the other sections in the menu of the BIOS. Time and date system were virtually the only things not greyed out. Until I have enable F12 I can not change the order of boot on CD/DVD and cannot start the process of recovery with Acer discs, so I'm completely stuck now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's urgent because I really need this laptop for the school that has already started. The laptop is very expensive, it is important that I try to repair rather than buy a new one.
Thanks in advance for any help
If you already save and exit the BIOS, enter the BIOS again and check if the options are still grayed out.

Acer Aspire 5517 has black screen
I have an Acer Aspire 5517 who was himself put out and there are some weeks I was referring to the community. He remains on now, but the screen is black. I was able to update the BIOS before it became dark permanently. It turns on, but nothing appears on the screen... How I struggle, shoot when I see nothing? Can someone give me something to try it please...
Study
Acer, considered the material in accordance with the rules of discussion is rightly. I forgot
on that. If you goggle Acer 5517 REPAIR, a link to it will appear in PDF format
form. I think it's at Acer in Australia or Austria. It is in English.
I didn't know that you had used the device for some time after that the BIOS flash. Ah, without
because it and make some of my own tests, I fear I'm exhausted out as regards
suggestions on repair. Good luck with it.

Acer aspire s7-392-9439: lack of default boot device or startup failed.
Hello
I bought an Acer aspire s7-392-9439 3 months ago. It has been working fine, until yesterday.
I turn on the computer and it poped a blue screen with the error: 'lack of default boot device or startup failed'.
This error reminded me that a message on a bios updated poped over a few days and I have the chance to install it.I contacted acer support, I was told that the update of the bios would have avoided this problem. Also, they told me to try things that can help, but unfortunately none of them has:
1 restore the default bios settings.
2. change the bios settings: uefi to legacy.
3 type the Windows key + c when the computer starts.When these options do not have they said it is probably a hardware problem and I should send my computer to their repair center.
My questions are:
1. If they updated bios would have prevented the problem, how can it be a hardware problem?
2 - does anyone know how to solve the problem?I would appreciate your help,
MichaelI had the same problem. Tried the diskette of starting BACK and did not work.
Here's how I solved it:
(apologies to memory are some terms is not on-site)
1. download the Setup file of the BIOS - link provided above in this thread (isST2212.exe)
2. on a Windows 8 machine that works - search for 'Create a recovery disk' and run on a USB drive
3. copy the file #1 to the USB drive once it's done make a recovery disk
4. in the Acer BIOS (press F2 during startup), change to the method of priming of the legacy
5 save and exit
6. turn in the BIOS and move the option USB HDD as first boot device
7. Save and exit
8. you will end up in a Windows 8 recovery console
9. go to Advanced Options - find the option that leads you to the command prompt
10. from there I went to d: drive and found my file isST2212.exe - run by typing the file name when you are in the folder
Make sure that you are connected to power - let it run. It should install, automatic restart and you should be in business.
I had an Acer offer to fix it for free with a 7-10 day turn around and at the risk of losing all my data. It's a much better solution!

Lost all the acer software has integrated when I bought the acer aspire v3 - 571
I use my acer aspire and I just upgraded my OS Windows 10. Since a few days it went well, but suddenly window 10 crashed and I had to reinstall it. Now after you have reinstalled windows 10 my many features such as backup media Acer manager, clear.fi, clear.fi photo etc all are gone. When I installed Windows 10 for the first time all of them were there. Only after reinstalling I lost. Now how to recover? Any help?
Most of the Acer utilities can be installed to the Master Installer (downloadable from your machine type page drivers & manuals) or Acer care center.
Acer BYOC applications (clear.fi, abPhotos, abDocs, etc.) are available at Acer BYOC Apps.

Installation problem Windows 10 on Acer Aspire V5 - 573G
I have acer aspire V5 - 573G, I tried to install Windows 10 on my computer using the USB. I started on USB, format hard drive and tired to install it, but he gave me error "Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. "Error code: 0x800701E3".
After a search on the internet I found that you must upgrade to Windows 10 windows 8.1 and shouldn't have installed live. Then I installed windows 8.1 pro, then I went to upgrade to Windows 10 but after a while the update failed and rolled back to the previous version of windows and it showed the error 'the installion failed in the FIRST_BOOT expression with an error during the operation BEGIN_FIRST_BOOT'.
Please help, how do I install windows 10.
Finally that my problem has been resolved.
I changed the SATA from AHCI RAID mode and that worked for me.
But now I have new problem that is whenever I start my computer laptop blue screen of Death (BSOD) occurs. Not every time but often. Whenever he gives a new error. Some errors are...
- Unmountable_Boot_Volume
- Kernel_Data_Inpage
Any suggetions?

Acer Aspire E - 15 (E5-571-332ko) Wifi not working - Windows 7 64 BIT
Hi there we have a problem on the machine where we have down to Windows 7 64 BIT and we picked up the drivers from the Acer Web site.
Unfortunately the WIFI does not work despite trying all three options in the Support Site for Windows 7 64 BIT.
The laptop originally with Windows 8.1 which we didn't like. LAN works well.
We made - put a new SSD drive in (of course to lift the keyboard because what was not so difficult and three ribbons inside that were given.
Can someone advise please?
I understood the problem and got it work. I was struggling to find the right driver, is necessary to find another for a same laptop from HP! None of Acer were those on the Web site as they are all for Windows 8.1
I went to the device under System (Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate) Manager...
You must go to control panel > Device Manager then highlight the network cards. The wireless is here so click on it, go to properties and then click the Details tab scroll down to HardwareIDs and make a note of the four characters that follow FRI for the vendor, and the four after DEV for device.
Go to http://www.pcidatabase.com and enter these characters into the two boxes that apply and take the path to the correct driver. When you find the list of drivers to the seller, they aren't ordering as well use facility search to your browser to track the details of the device. With luck, you'll have an executable file, but some will be a zipped folder.
Found this info from http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/43377-43-wifi-working-acer-aspire-windows
So the point is to track down the correct driver by searching for the device ID (first four characters) and stalking the four characters (Vendor ID) when you browse through the list.
Hope this helps some of you.

Hello
I had my computer Acer Aspire E1-572 some time in 2014 and it was very good for my use in photo retouching and such, it can be a little slow at times but otherwise works relatively well. It is a model with intel i7, so I really had high expectations for it, but recently it has me pushed beyond edge of frustration. The internet is catastrophic.
First, I should probably point out that I'm absolutely useless when it comes to computer jargon. I did my research, read works around the problem but have not yet found anything that solved my problem with certainty or was possible for me to understand, and still less to make. I am nowadays primarily a mac user and windows 8.1 is my idea of a nightmare. However, I like to use the Acer now and then, more recently, I can't really leave this issue continue, otherwise, I'm sitting here with an expensive computer that is really more hassle that it is worth.
My Internet home works well for other devices and it is not a problem that Acer does not have wi - fi, it is, nice and clear, but untilising it is almost impossible. 3/5 bars of internet so I expect at least some kind of feedback from her. It will sort of blow along some time, then load, then work stoppage or just simply load at all. For this, many people model seems to go configuring power management settings, I did and there was maybe a bit small (?) improvement but I wasn't definitely jumping for joy. The internet is still a step forward, two steps back. All the other advice just went straight over my head, it means nothing to me.
It is difficult to recall that it was never my computer "navigation", but I don't think when I got it, I don't have this problem. He could not have won races of speed, but this actually worked. I was wondering if maybe the 8 to 8.1 windows update had thrown a key in the works, but this is speculation on my part.
I then come to the drivers, I wondered if that was the question that a lot of people mention it in various forums. Similarly, I don't know about this. I used the search for drivers acer to find compatible drivers for my model:
Wireless LAN: Atheros (Wireless LAN Driver - Driver WLAN + BT) Version 10.0.0.285
Wireless LAN: Atheros (wireless LAN driver) Version 10.0.0.263
Wireless LAN: Atheros (Wireless LAN Driver - Driver WLAN + Bluetooth) Version 10.0.0.263
Wireless LAN: Broadcom (wireless LAN driver) Version 6.30.223.170
Great... except that I don't know that I need (or if I need them at all) what to download and what to do with it when I went through the laborious download process.
I don't want to take it back to the store, it's always a huge concern, and I hope that it is something that can actually be fixed at home.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated (especially if it's something that I can understand) that I'm close to despair with the accursed thing!
Thank you.
Try this Acer support:
Furthermore, the other link has a newer driver and I suggested that the Web site of many users without worries.

Acer Aspire R7 stuck in the diagnosis of the PC / had media failure before you start.
I woke up this morning and I saw my Aspire R7 with a black screen. He had the 'boot failure media' text, so I hard it started again with the power button as the keys were not appropriate. The computer has restarted and then wouldn't start, so I cycled in, on and off a couple of times and then he went in "Diagnose your PC" where he stayed for the last hour and a half.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
The specifications are:
Acer Aspire R7-571 - 53338 G 1 .02Tass
Core i5-3337U
Intel HD 4000
8 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY
Hi Squilliam!
Failure of bootable media, generally describes a fault/problem with the hard drive, or the connection. You can check the hard disk drive yourself to ensure that it is well installed, but if it's under warranty (which I think it's maybe) then contact Acer support for your region.
