  What is a rider of lockout and where is it located

  Can someone tell me how or if I need to update to run the new CPU

  Thanks in advance

  I think you should wait 60 days for version 10 of Windows to see if it can solve the problem.  10 Windows will automatically make sure you have good drivers (course to 99%).

  It is possible that he is in fact a BIOS problem.  But all the advice I would give risk possible to break your computer permanently, and I don't want to do that because there's a pretty good computer (with the exception of windows xp).

  I'm guessing Windows 10 retail copy will be cheap enough to buy.  I can't say with certainty that your computer will be in charge of windows 10, but I think it will be.

  Also, even if it has nothing to do with your current number, you can not simply exchange cpu like this safely without applying new thermal paste.  There are a few videos on youtube from the manufacturers of motherboards that show you how to clean the old thermal paste and apply new thermal paste.  Make sure that the videos that you watch come from a motherboard manufacturer, not some Joe Blow.

  And then if Windows 10 doesn't fix it, you have to decide at that point, if you want to take the risk of bricking messing with the BIOS of your computer permanently.

  I'm sure you know that Windows XP is not supported and that there is a security risk.

  Good luck!

  Edit: Here's an alternative to Windows XP that works well for older computers of XP.

• Does the Acer Aspire 4530 TV output support?

  My father has an old Acer Aspire 4530. I am trying to determine if it has tv out capability so we can connect to its new TV with a cable composite VGA adapter. It has a VGA port, and it's really...

  I think that its come to Aspire with Vista (not sure if it's 32 or 64 b, but its Athlon X 2 64 would have supported either). It has downgraded to XP.

  As far as I've been able to determine, the 4530 has a NVIDIA GeForce 9100 M G. But I was not able to determine if this GPU supports tv-out. You can provide any help would be appreciated. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places...

  Welcome aboard, the syntax. I was able to find two versions of the Aspire 4530 comments and neither mentioned one TV. A detailed review listed as optical capabilities with a webcam and the ability to support its own monitor and an external display simultaneously.

  After this review, I don't think that it can withstand a TV.

• Acer aspire 5740-6378 will no longer charge the battery under Windows 7

  The title sums it up.  I have a new computer that beginning yesterday will not charge the battery.  I didn't have problems with battery or power systems before that.

  * original title - (sector, do not load) with 21% of battery. It has been so for 24 hours after several reboots. It is a 2 month old acer aspire 5740-6378. Is there a way to reset the power control software? So far, he has played very well.*

  Managed to find a solution that worked for me.   I write this to help those who like me have sought a forum where this problem has been fixed.  I sent to acer tech support and they finally gave me this procedure:

  Could you please go through the following steps to perform a power drain: 1. unplug the adapter from the laptop. 2. remove the battery. 3. press in and hold the button for about 30 seconds, then release. (You won't see anything happen) 4. connect the power adapter to the laptop. Make sure that the power adapter is plugged in. 5. Start the computer as usual. 6. After Windows starts, insert the battery. I hope this helps someone! Mike

• ACER ASPIRE 471 - E1: UPDATE THE BIOS CRASH

  HELLO, I NEED HELP ON THIS.

  I WAS updating THE BIOS ACER ASPIRE E1 - 471 VERSION 2.11 to 2.18 BUT GOT IN FAILURE, WITHOUT NORMAL MORE to IGNITE.

  WHEN UPDATING THE FILE ORIGINAL WITH THE HELP OF THE ACER SUPPORT WEB SITE, RESTART THE LAPTOP TO WINDOWS POWER ON A BACK PAGE AND DISPLAY IT ON THE SCREEN...

  UPTATING:

  TRUE BIOS VERSION: ZQS 2.11

  NEW VERSION OF BIOS: ZQS 2.18

  PROGRESS...: 0% AND SCOPE WITH A 100% SUCCESS

  AFTER THIS, THE LAPTOP REBOOT AGAIN AND POWER BLUE LED LIGHTS UP BUT NO SCREEN...

  AT THE START OF THE LAPTOP, HARD DRIVE MAKING NOISE OF POWER ON AND.

  NO SCREEN, THE COMPUTER PHONE IS FREEZE.

  ON THE BACK THE INFORMATION OF THIS LAPTOP, THE BOOK SAYS:

  Aspire E1-471-6683

  MODEL NO.: ZQT

  .....

  SNIDS: 31300078979

  So Original BIOS was ZQS but the model said ZQT?

  I have not found a repair for this model, so cannot move too much by myself.

  I found some instructions on the use of USB with the FCN + ESC + Power Buttom combo...

  The use of files with. FD extension inside the USB key.

  I tried 1 for the test and the thing happens as users said.

  Power Led flashes, USB Stick will blink for a few seconds, and then restart laptop.

  BUT STILL FREZZY.

  I think I use the wrog. FD file.

  ACER support website has none. This model in the FD file (or any other type of file, hit. EXE, a)

  You can with ACER Support me?

  Thanks, it is a client of the portable computer of mine, I'm kind of scared at the moment.

  OK, thanks for the reply.

  I got the sollution and will share with you now.

  [edited to conform to the guidelines]

  YOU WILL NEED TO FORMAT A USB STICK WITH FAT (16) PARTITION STYLE.

  -------

  NOW, THE SECRET OF. FD FILE

  YOU MUST PUT IN THE USB THIS FILE WITH THE EXTENSION. FD, BUT THE ACER DOWNLOAD SITE IS ENOUGH. EXE TO THE INSTALLATION, SO YOU GO ON ANOTHER COMPUTER (INCOMPATIBLE WITH ASPIRE E1 VERSION) AND RUN THE FILE...

  YOU RECEIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE, BUT NOT CLICK NOW ON ANY BUTTON.

  NOW, OPEN WINDOWS EXPLORER AND GO TO C:\USERS\(USER ACCOUNT)\AppData\Local\temp\7zS4F0C.tmp

  INSIDE THIS FOLDER, YOU CAN GET THE ST. FD FILE (PERHAPS ZQS.) FD)

  THAT COPY ON USB KEY AND CLOSE THE ERROR MESSAGE. (FOLDER WILL DISAPEAR AFTER THAT)

  WITH THE FILE INSIDE OF THE SECONDARY KEY, FOLLOW THE MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS.

  BASICALLY:

  Steps for the USB storage device BIOS recovery

  To create a crisis USB key, perform the following steps:
  1. format the USB storage drive using the Quick Format option.
  2. save the ROM file (filename: ZQS.fd) in the root directory of the USB storage device. Make sure that there are no other file BIOS stored in the same directory.
  3. plug the USB storage on USB device.
  4. press the button, then connect power cable.
  5. the power button flashes once.
  6. press the Power button to start the CRISIS of the system mode.
  7. when the CRISIS is over, the system auto restarts with a possible BIOS.

  AFTER THAT

  8. update the latest BIOS version for this machine of normal BIOS flashing process.

  YOU MAY HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM LIKE ME, AFTER RECOVERING FROM CRISIS, BIOS NOW SEE THE ANY HARD DISK, SO YOU MUST UPDATE THE BIOS AGAIN WITH THE HELP OF ANOTHER TOOL LIKE HIRENSBOOT HELP FIXITURE MINI_XP.

  BUT IT IS ANOTHER CONVERSATION.

  THANKS FELLOWS.

• Updating BIOS for Acer Aspire 3000 / battery problems

  So I had a couple of Acer Aspire 3000 who were not working and got one to work...

  But it seems that I am having some problems when the battery is in it - and otherwise fine without him.
  Excessively long Shut Downs that go to the continuous reboots / Touchpad problems, gel, etc.

  Says the battery until it goes to @ 7-8%.  Then the battery does not charge.

  When the power adapter is disconnected - the battery is charge?

  Given that these laptops have been sitting around for a couple / few years... and have been given to me... I do not deny the possibility that the battery is not good. And there was only 1 battery using 2 laptops.

  After that she has charged at 7-8% - I unplugged it the adapter - and it ran for @ 20 min.  and said: '1 HR 30 min remaining"until she was cut.

  I also tried tried the - remove battery unplug adapter and hold the power button for 2 min method - then installed battery and adapter - but nothing helped...

  (On a side - note, which is probably not related - my wifi doesn't seem to be working - even though it appears, it does nothing wrong in. Device Manager - and runs a diagnosis does not help...) I know there are wireless networks but none does not appear! Broadcom 802. 11 g)

  In any case - I saw a post on a different site-say an UPDATE of the BIOS could possibly solve the problem of battery - (wifi may be too)...

  Given that I've NEVER DONE an UPDATE to BIOS; I'll ask NICELY, please walk me but this... with as little as ACKRONYNS and GEEK TALK as Possible (respectfully).  I had heard of this sort of thing - to download the update of the Bios... and I think it can be put on a Falsh player - but is a ZIP and should she be EXTACTED - which I'm not too big? Then "Select (something)? and then maybe restart... So now, I'm willing to give it a try - with some help and input.  THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE!  a link for the download and the proper BIOS UPDATE would be a big departure... - I guesss that goes without saying.

  So, here are some features of the information system: (I hope there enough, but please let me know if you need more)

  

  3 to 32 of the latest BIOS availabel
