Acer Aspire R13 backlight keyboard issues

I got the R13 Aspire (317 t) a few days before, and while I really enjoy there are some problems with the keyboard.

The first is that is it possible to completely disable the backlight on the keyboard?  I'm tired of having to manually use the function keys to activate if off every time, I opened the lid.  This would be as much of a problem if he was not the second question.

Secondly, when the backlight is completely upward, there is a high-pitched hum coming from the speakers.  I found a couple other posts that have the same problem but I don't know if this is a fault or a problem that can be fixed.

I like much this laptop, but these keyboard problems are starting to make me think that I need to return it.

Thank you.

jjsmall009,

As far as the backlight goes, no, you can use the buttons to turn off every time.

If you experience any his pitch high only when the backlight is at its maximum intensity we have our repair technicians watch the device for you if you wish.

Here is the link to implement repairs online without ever having to call in or you can chat online with a technician (available 24/7).

  • ACER Aspire R13 set up as an office

    I just bought an ACER ASpire R13 at costco and I try to use as my office too.  I wanted to know what kind of equipment is recommended to do this, docking station, additional external hard drive, etc. and tips/advice on the implementation.

    I'd start withMediasonic docking station, external keyboard, mouse/trackball. Burner DVD BluRay USB, GB external drive for backup, two monitors 24 "and a line wired gigabit. That's what I have.

  • Acer Aspire R13 problems active Pen (R7 - 371T).

    I bought a new R13 Aspire, with recommended acer active pen for this model. Touchpad is flicky and wobbles in his laptop computer screen resolution (very unpleasant to use) place and brightness are great and it is very sensitive to the touch of the finger and capacitive pens.
    However when I use the active stylus, it works very well for about 5 minutes and then it starts to jump and jump and then the pen stops working. After a reboot, pen starts to work, but same thing happens. When I pass the pen on the screen he sees clearly, but the movement is not smooth, in the same way, when I use the stylus to draw he jumps and jumps a lot. I calibrated my monitor and the problem still persists.

    Also ACER calls for the rejection of palm, and palm rejection does NOT at all.

    Anyone had the same problems? or your active pen works perfectly, I can't determine if the problem I have is from the pen or screen.

    Any suggestions? or comments?

    I sent my camera previous back and got a new one from microsoftstore. It seems that the problems I had were specific unit. This new one works fine, the touchpad in the last laptop has obviously had a physical since problem she wavered and has not identified any multi-geste.

    I'm happy with this one, it has a pilot updated synaptics, not the most recent one (there is a new Synaptics driver on the Acer site for this laptop that does not yet install) but it works.

    Contacted technical support and asked why not install updates it seems that this model is still a work in progress. They are updating the drivers, software managments power etc.

    Pen Active Acer works very well in ONENOTE, because the application rejects touch capacitive and works only with the participation of digitizer. but in the other Palm apps rejection does not work. I'll trade my pen as well and see if the problem is with the pen or not.

  • Acer Veriton N2620G/disconnect keyboard issue

    We set up recently a few new Acer Veriton N2620G thin clients in our call center.  After you have configured an ICA connection, we discovered that if a user presses NumLock and Caps Lock, it disconnects the session... This can happen at any time... login screen, after that they were recorded in during some time... at any time.  We are able to reproduce this on all of our new Acer Veriton N2620G thin clients.  All our thin clients from Wyse existing work perfectly.  We used existing keyboards, we used the keyboards that accompanies the new Acer... same problem.  We configure RDP connections as a test and these function normally... they do NOT disconnect.

    I chatted with the support of DeTOS (OS on the thin client) and their level 1 is zero help.  They tried to transfer me to level 2, but I received a message that they are not open at this time...

    Light client info below:

    Acer Veriton N2620G

    BIOS version 2.15.1229

    Operating system: DeTOS 7.2.2 20130702

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    For the record, it was a problem with the version of Citrix ICA Receiver.  Assistance provided an update to the ICA client and he resovled question.

  • Acer Aspire E5 - 473G bluetooth issues.

    I don't know if there's a thread on this issue. So be gentle with me on this one.

    In some way, while using my bluetooth headset, listening to music, the audio had disappeared. I have double/triple/quadruple checked my audio on my laptop by turning the power switch bluetooh. The sound was fine without BT, but when I turn it on, the remains of audio problems.

    So I searched on the net it and found that the issue concerned the pilot. When I opened my device manager, several bluetooth drivers related had on yellow triangles. So I "updated" these drivers and even showed "the driver/device is up-to-date. However, when I tried to use my BT headset again, it's the same thing - there was still no audio (well, technically, it was a sound confirming the pairing State / connected to my BT device, and there was still some sounds from my laptop.) But after a few seconds (about 10-20) later, the noise was gone.)

    Is there a driver that I've updated and same "downloaded" who told the driver. When he was done, somehow, I don't know why, the bluetooth on my laptop DISAPPEARED. I checked the settings of the laptop, using devices and there is no Bluetooth not found. I know that it was there before my problem happened.

    Then, I checked on my device manager to see what happened. Now, even the bluetooth device is gone.

    Then I clicked on 'Show hidden devices' and saw the BT drivers with an icon blurred. I did the update again just nothing helps. So what I finally did I "uninstalled" these drivers hidden BT. I then download new drivers of BT to the site hoping to reinstall the driver. But to my dismay, he did nothing. I checked the 'programs and Feautres' on the control panel to see if the new drivers have been installed. It's there, but my bluetooh went still.

    I know this is kind of a long post. I did it so you guys can check where I was wrong. I hope you can help me with that.

    Thank you and good day.

  • Acer Aspire ES 15 wifi issues

    Hi all

    I git a new Acer Es 15 - I upgraded to windows 7 Linux. While I am using wifi key Fn + F3 does not turn.

    I tried all the steps mentioned in this Page. I need some help. Someone please suggest to do.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hi Nani,

    You can enable or disable your network with a combination of keys on your keyboard, or with a dedicated wireless switch wireless. Acer laptops and netbooks, the following methods are used:

    • A dedicated button located above the keyboard.
    • A rocker switch, located on the front or the side of the unit.
    • The FN and the key with the icon wireless on your keyboard. Usually, the Fn + F3 key combination is used.

    The wireless key can be identified with one of the following icons on or nearby:

    Please consult your user manual on how to enable or disable the networks without wire on your specific model.

    When you turn on the wireless feature, a LED on or near the button or toggle switch turns on or a symbol is displayed on your screen.

    NOTE: On models with the slide switch, the switch itself can return to its original position after the wireless function is enabled. This is normal and does not mean that the wireless feature has been disabled.

    THIS CORRECTS THE PROBLEM?

    If your system may detect the available wireless network, the wireless network is enabled. If you cannot connect to a network, visit the Acer problems with wireless networkknowledge base article.

    Where the combination of keys on the keyboard does not work, please visit section of the knowledge base of Acer keyboard shortcuts does not.

    I would recommend also, install the latest network cards on the Acer support website.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    Thank you.

    Thumberlina.

    I do not know 100% but if you want to check, you can always go in Control Panel, click programs and features and are looking for what is installed. If you recognize a security software that you are happy, then you are good. If there is none or you don't like the program installed, then uninstall the program, you don't want and install the one you want. Of course, I highly recommend that you use some protection at any time. Hope that helps.

  • How can I type the characters printed in green on the keyboard of Acer aspire switch 10?

    My (Northern) keyboard on my Acer Aspire switch 10 has some characters printed in green. This includes the backslash character I need desperately. However, I can't find any information in the manual or elsewhere about access (type) these characters. Help, please!

    I tried now. With the help of the button Fn-type only the characters printed in blue. The backslash is printed in green, as is the Danish æ and 0-slash (o). Explaining the problem to my wife, she wanted to give it a go. And to my surprise it resolved in less than a minute. I had missed that the backslash WAS ALSO printed in white on the same key as + and? so, to be able to type it, all I have to do is pressed the Alt - Gr key pressing this key. Stupid of me to do not see it the first time around.

    Getting back to the question initial on the characters printed in green, I came to the conclusion that it is "conversion" of the keyboard in a Danish provision of individual countries by specifying this keyboard layout in Windows settings. Similarly, there are a few characters printed in red. I assume these are Norwegians.

    This type of complexity, that's what you get when manufacturers want to reduce country-variants for as little as possible, I guess.

    So all is well here

    For reference, I enclose a picture of my keyboard

  • You can replace the keyboard on Acer Aspire E5 - 571G - 59 CT?

    Hi all

    I can get a good deal on a laptop Acer Aspire E5 - 571G - 59 CT.

    However, there is a downside. They keyboard is in German. I think that the German layout is QWERTZ?
    in any case, I want to know if it is possible to replace the keyboard with a keyboard with a United-States-layout (QWERTY).

    I noticed several online shops offer keyboards, but I'd rather be safe on this fact.

    I can find keyboards, with provision of the United States, for Acer Aspire E5 - 571 G '-part, but not for the TC model 59. Does it matter? I think that the last part is reserved for configuration, right? If anyone can confirm this?

    The keyboard I have found so far is: http://bit.ly/1EVk49k
