[Aspire One] Tilt screen breaks webcam and USB

I have a netbook Aspire One ZG5 with Windows XP Home edition.

If I tilt/adjust the screen at all, I get two problems:

(1) I heard the familiar sound of cutting something of a USB port, a USB icon appears in the system tray temporarily.  It is said there are 8 USB ports and one is broken.  My netbook has only 3 USB ports. I can't tell if something actually happens to USB devices when I do that.

(2) if I use the CrystalEye webcam integrated with the Chrome browser, the webcam works until I restart the computer.

The effect of usb is intermittent, but the webcam breaks every time.  And he always did those things.

I can see the connection between the tilt screen and power management (to shut down the computer when the screen is completely folded down), but this link between the inclination of the screen and webcam and usb ports seems quite inexplicable to me.

Advice to solve this problem?

Thank you!

There are two things you can do:

  1. Tilt the screen.  I know, I know... but it's an alternative to the #2.

  2. Contact technical support in your region for assistance with this hardware problem.

Honestly, it's a hardware problem that must be dealt with by the system service.

  • Aspire One d255 does not recognize the usb connected external ssd drive

    I want to replace the original HDD 160 GB with a 120 GB Samsung ssd 750 evo but bios and win 10 does not recognize the ssd drive as an external drive connected via a usb connection, so I couldn't create an image of my internal hard drive.  Is there a way to clone my hard drive SSD, so I can exchange the disc later?  I need to update the bios, install a missing driver, etc. ?

    I used two different connections: one is a 2.5 "SATA case disc that I used with a disk 2.5" HARD and works very well with the HARD drive and the other is SATA/IDE connector combination with cables for SATA and power and none of these works.  I read in another forum during my research that the Aspire One d255 doesn't recognize any external SSD connected through a USB either.  Since my netbook has no data, and I had just a pure 10 Windows installed on his drive HARD internal, I removed the 160 GB HARD drive and replaced by a 120 GB SSD and installed another Windows own 10.  It worked and my system boots now in less than 20 seconds.   We can close this thread now since I now have a faster machine fully function.  Thank you!

  • Aspire One 522 screen does not

    The monitor left on my netbook (Aspire One 522 Windows 7), the machine works when connected to an external monitor. I tried upgrading the BIOS, but the screen does not always react. Anything else I can try before I get another machine for my trips?

    Thank you

    Hi John:

    I had what seems to be the same problem with the AO722. It unfortunately turns out to be a pause that has developed in the display ribbon cable & camera near the hinge area - it's intermittent at first, but eventually the screen cover works (the problem of the famous black screen that is not fixable with a bios upgrade). I was forced to use either an external monitor or TV hdmi to work with the system until I finally took the laptop part (a royal pita, withdrawal plug-in keyboard was the worst part) and replaced the Ribbon by a piece of Amazon.com. The part number of the tape is marked on the Ribbon connector.

    Right now, I try to avoid opening and closing the lid too to reduce stress on the Ribbon near the hinge area - the Ribbon takes a tortuous path in this hinge - I'm surprised that the original lasted as long as he did. Also, I covered the keyboard of the snap-ins with tape is easier to remove if I have to take off again - hope not! I use black tape to tape actually the upper part of the keyboard on the main body of the computer - not noticeable.

    original title: Netbook Windows 7 problem

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    Borrow a 32 bit Genuine Windows 7 friends DVD disc if you know someone who has one.

    Make an image of the DVD, you can use a program like ISO Recorder to do.

    Step 2:

    Uninstall the device from Device Manager:

    a. Click Start.

    b. Select Control Panel > system > hardware > Device Manager.

    c. open Device Manager and expand the imaging device.

    d. right-click on the webcam device installed and uninstall the device.

    During the uninstallation of the device, make sure that you place a tick against 'delete the driver for this device '.

    e. restart the computer and install the latest version of the drivers of webcam and check if it works very well.

  • Where can I post a problem of Aspire One AO756 USB system recovery?

    Hello.  Where can I post a problem of Aspire One AO756 USB system recovery?  I had a HARD drive crash, replaced the HARD drive and bought a USB (Win 8.1) on the Acer Store system recovery disk.  The USB settles all the installation files and then said to remove the USB key, then click OK to restart.  But the bios can not find a bootable disk to complete construction. I was sent a second USB drive with the same results.  The new HDD Seagate passes each Seatools test.  In addition, I can boot from USB to the DOS or Linux and access the disk without problem. Thank you

    You must use diskpart. in the windows setup program, there is an option to format the partitions manually. allows to delete all partitions, and it will automatically set the MBR or GPT disk.

  • Help! -Acer Aspire all-in-one touch screen after upgrade Windows 8 Pro

    Hi all!

    This is a rather confusing questions and about * me off no end!  I know that some of you may have encountered this already and could have a potential solution?

    I have an Acer Aspire all-in-one, AZ5101 (Aspire Z5101), with 4 GB of RAM, etc..

    Since the Developer Preview of Windows 8 came out, I've been running Windows 8 perfectly.  I completely uninstalled (each time itself) and run the following:

    Windows 8 Developer Preview, 64-bit

    Windows 8 Preview of consumer, 64-bit

    Windows 8 Preview, 64-bit version

    In any case, on this PC worked perfectly - y INCLUSIVE of the TOUCH SCREEN.  I never had a problem.

    So far so good.  Then, they finally released updates Windows 8 Pro official licensed by download.  I bought the upgrade and downloaded.  Just like in * ALL * other cases, upgrade, I chose "keep nothing" of the old system (I never really got all the important data on here), and do the upgrade itself.

    After the upgrade was complete, and ALL Windows 8 Pro updates have been applied by Windows update, I have a system where the screen is clear and precise, everything works, and all devices in Device Manager, show the Greens well, it works fine - NO ERRORS.  HOWEVER - NO CONTACT!  No touch no screen function at all.  The screen now has this time as a standard monitor.

    I tried the driver Idéacom - no luck.  Anyone know (please? LOL) how to get the touch screen to work again?  Thank you very much!  I really appreciate any help you can give.  Microsoft technical support had NO idea and no reply emails from Acer! Laughing out loud

    Thanks again,

    Mike

  • Acer Aspire One D257-13450 fixed size window too big for the screen

    I have an Acer Aspire One D257-13450 running Windows 7 Starter Edition, and when I open some windows (e.g. Brother MFC 990CW control of scanning parameters), the window is too large to be completely displayed on the screen. The bottom of the window is hidden under the bottom edge of the physical screen.  The window can me moved around the screen as usual but I can't move it to the top of the screen enough to see the bottom of the window - this is where the selection of options for this window buttons. This particular window has only a close button in the upper right and not the usual buttons Minimse or restore down. I have connected a monitor external and also adjusted the screen resolution and nothing doesn't affect the ability to resize the window and get off at the buttons of options I need. I was able to guess the buttons under the edge of the screen by using the tab key to tab through all the options in this window, but it is not very satisfactory. Any suggestions please?

    Many netbooks with Starter have only a 1024 x 600 screen - if the program needs a minimum of 1024 x 768 it may not work or may not display all. But it wouldn't be because of the netbook, Windows.
