Aspire E650
Can this unit be upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7?
Hi acer4User!
The honest answer is "maybe"! Download and run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor . This program will advise you on problems of compatibility, you can have. You may need to increase the RAM to a minimum of 2 GB for Windows 7. Check if your motherboard can accept an increase.
The biggest problem you will find on older machines, is there is maybe not all the drivers for it! You will need to search online to find the Windows drivers, as the support site Acer isn't everything!
If everything looks good, first make sure that you have backed up everything (and make sure that you have the disk/partition recovery incase you need to reinstall XP).
Insert the disc of Windows 7 & restart your PC (ensuring that from the optical drive). Follow the instructions on the screen. Once Windows is installed, type device manager in the search box of the start menu, then click on it. Once Device Manager opens, it will give the list all devices with no driver (usually indicated by an exclamation point). Right click and select 'Update Driver' to see if Windows can find the drivers. Also use Windows Update to find the drivers.
You can also do this before you start the search. Download & run Belarc Advisor or Speccy . They will scan your PC and advise on the material inside your machine. With this information in hand, you can search the Web sites of manufacturers to see if they made Windows 7 drivers for your devices! Obviously, if you can not find the drivers, the long-term answer will be 'no '!
It's a bit tedious, but it can be fun! (I REALLY need get a life!)
Good luck!

replace the contactor start on 945G - M6
I have a Council of 945G - M6 in an Acer and the start switch is dead. I took and looked at him and micro switch just fell off the Board. Dry joints that I guess.
How can I get another type of Starter switch? Or get a replacement? Anyone know?
Hello abrogard,.
Here is the header of the Panel before the Aspire E650:
Pin6 and pin8 = switch, so you need to easily identify the corresponding wires.
I probably found your board.

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

Have you read the manual of the printer? Have you contacted HP?
Generic help is all that we can give you. You better go to HP, BUT the first thing you need to do is to install the printer driver.
Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged. Re-install a new copy should helphttp://captaindbg.com/how-to-update-drivers-on-Windows-7/ (also works on Windows 8) -

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.
