Reinstall ligthscribe-rom drive on an acer aspire 4520

I had to do a full recovery of factory on my acer aspire 4520, running on windows vista service pack 2. My player ligthscribe disappeared for months and thought would contribute to the update. Still, I can't get this problem is resolved. I really don't want to send to acer for repair of $200. Device Manager lists not and ligthscribe-rom drive or hardware. my laptop will not play or run any what ligthscribe. The box turns on and makes noise it will work, then theres nothing. I ran Microsoft fix it and says that the disc is missing. I run the material its says no drive detected or material. I go to acer to reinstall disks, but they don't that I need have listed and recommend that send it. Is there anyway that I can reinstall the hardware or peripheral? With out having to send it to acer? I'll try to fix it, I just need someone with computer knowledge to help me how and what to do. Thanks to all who tried to help!

Hello

Since you've made a revision to state out-of-the-box of factory looks like the optical drive has failed or
There are other hardware issues.

/ Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start to look at the screen - place the CD/DVD first in the
boot - order, then see if you can start a Windows or another bootdisk to see if the drive works.

If the player does not start then you'll need the help of a real computer shop (the one who made his own home
sevice and no leeks and peaks in a Best Buy or other supermarkets stores) or Support of Acer.

    I have an Acer Aspire all-in-one 5600U. The other day the power in our House went out due to a storm.

  • How can I find the hard drive in my Acer Aspire 10.1 switch keyboard docking station?

    My Acer Aspire 10.1 switch was sold with an additional 500 GB HDD in the keyboard. But the drive only extra hard (except C :) I can find in Explorer's "recovery (D :) ", but this is ony 32 GB, but it goes away when I remove the keyboard, so it is in the keyboard. At the start of the computer there is certainly a hard drive of sound from the keyboard, so there is something in there. OS is Win 8.1.

    the 500 GB HARD drive is on the keyboard, so if you disconnect Switch10, you lose the remote storage.

    You can check it in disk management:

    Logo of the Windows key + x

    Click on disk management

    It will be all avilable storage the list, in order to check if the HDD 500 GB is there and if it is listed as unallocated space.

  • The CD/DVD drive in my laptop is missing or not detected by my Acer Aspire 4520?

    A while ago my laptop Acer fell and the CD/DVD drive pulled after its fall. I thought for sure that it was broken and my laptop. Fortunately it seems not that this was the case and after that put in does what it normally would, the green light would flash and it seemed to work again. However, I never thought not to test with a DVD or CD to see if it actually worked. Is that recently that I started to use CD for games and other and I found the driver to read the discs, but nothing happened thereafter.

    Well for some time now, I tried to find a solution to my problem. The driver seems to work, but when it comes to playing the discs it do anything more. Some of my other programs such as Windows Media Player saying that my laptop is missing the driver CD/DVD. I also went to the menu of F2 from the laptop to the startup and after looking around, I find that there is no entry for the CD/DVD drive and that the entry is empty. I'm not sure why my laptop can't detect the drive. I tried many things such as the Microsoft Fix It, but ends up giving me an error saying that some components are not well read or something similar to that.
    Any help is greatly appreciated and if there is anything that I can provide for any further help I will do it gladly.
    I should also mention that the CD/DVD does not appear in Device Manager.

    Hi Emmanuel,.

     
    It's a hardware problem, your CD/DVD drive is not detected by your computer. I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.
     
    Method 1: Check if your CD/DVD drive is detected in BIOS Basic Input Output System ().

    IMPORTANT: BIOS change / oxide of additional metal (CMOS) semiconductor parameters incorrectly can causeserious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
     
    Method 2: Follow the steps in the link and check if that helps.
     
    You can also try to contact Acer support and check if it helps.

  • Acer Aspire HD E1 graphics driver - 571-4000

    Hello, I tried to update the HD Graphics 4000 driver in my Acer Aspire E1-571 and I'm able to get the latest version of the driver works very well from the Acer support page. However, this driver is almost 3 and a half years now or dates from 2012 with the fact that every time I encounter a problem with a modern game support always telling me to update my drivers. The latest driver from Intel page is perhaps not more than two months. I am aware that the driver must come from the OEM for him to be recognized, but decided to opt for a workaround see if I could update it in any case.

    I tried the advice from the support page from Intel to uninstall the driver from Acer and do a fresh reinstall with the latest Intel driver instead, but it does not work. It seems that it only allows for Installer try to install it but fails halfway through, as supposed is not at all tell me to go to my OEM. It seems that Acer genuneily uses the custome for its driver software and if the latest driver must be provided.

    I'm I missed something here, this is really the last version supplied by Acer and would it be possible for Acer to release a newer version. I also checked with people who use an HD Graphics 4000 and they do not seem to meet the same problems I did when using DX11. Which none use Acer laptops.

    My characteristics are i5 - 3210 M 2.5 GHz with Turbo boost of 3.1 GHz technology

    8 GB RAM DDR3

    Version number of Intel Graphics HD 4000 9.17.10.2867

    I finally found the solution, you had reason to propose a system reset but that only highlighted the real problem. It was a combination of issues, hive corrupted corrupted windows installer and interference from program files. I recommend to anyone who tries this correction to create a Windows easy transfer file and backup register and license keys.

    First of all, I tried to do a refresh of the system and then install the driver, even though I've updated first he failed and blue screened after the installation of the driver as he had not the necessary DirectX update. Which implies that updates has not really saved. I opened a restore point to back up the system and he projected blue perma then. The system repair tool is not actually grant me access to the restore point to try again. To work around this problem, I opened the disk part via the command prompt in the advanced and then forced Startup Repair tool permissions. To do this, I typed first 'Diskpart', then 'list volume', then select the disk D and C drive by their volume number. For my part D training was 0 and C disk 1, then withdraw their letters and assign again so that the primary drive is drive C (even if it does not change letters volume the end of it, it will always be you grants the permissions you need). This love so much "select volume 0", "Remove letter = d','select volume 1','Remove letter = c','select volume 1','affect letter = c',"select volume 0", " affect letter = d'. "" "" Then type 'exit' and 'rstrui.exe'. Perform the restore from here point and you should be able to continue the restore point.

    With myself however, the restore point has been so severely altered it could not load up, worse yet, I was not able to make an another refresh or reset. I discovered that this was due to corrupt hive files, I renamed to solve this problem through the command-line as follows, ""C: ', 'cd %windir%\system32\config', "ren system system.001", "ren software software.001', 'exit'." This then allowed me to perform a system reset.

    The first thing I tried to do was last updated in the system and even once, it has failed, it is constantly necessary to restart and wouldn't install anything. After you perform a clean boot, I realized that it was interference program McAfee and after he could not afford to be disabled I uninstalled it completely (I might have updated to see if he would settle the matter, but at this point, I was losing patience). Procceded updates until the end of the first batch. After that, the update has been stuck in a loop of always trying to find updates but never finished. It was because corrupt windows files from the installer, to solve this problem, I restarted the machine to make sure that the update has been closed and I opened as an admin command prompt so I could rename them and force the system to make new files by typing the following. "net stop wuauserv", "net stop cryptsvc", "net stop bits. Then type "ren SoftwareDistribution.old C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution", "ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old. Then type 'net start wuauserv', 'net start cryptsvc', 'net start bits' reactivate the update and then restart the computer. The update then worked fine until he hit Security Windows KB2756872 solve this I used a manual installation.

    Available to the Update for Windows 8 for x 64 systems (KB2756872) - Microsoft and then select Windows8-RT-KB2756872-x 64.msu (162.8 MB).

    After this all updates completed fine, I created my restore points (and a backup just in case restore point) and continued to install the driver manually. It worked the first time after having solved the problems. I use Windows easy transfer to restore all the files and after I re - install my programs, I'll be as good news.

  • Acer Aspire saying no driver found, third time this happened

    I just bought this Acer Aspire PC desktop about a month ago. Every week, it seems to starts me in offline mode and when I try to reconnect, it says "driver not found please reinstall the driver" when I go to look and check the driver it says drivers work fine. It will not always connect to the internet.  When I try to open Device Manager that it does give me an option to fix as I have before clicking options checking to see if my settings were changed (as they have changed by themselves before) it is frustrating that I use my computer for work and this happened now, at least every week but this time I am unable to fix it. All solutions? It's my first Acer and I think it's a terrible computer at this stage. The last 2 times I had to wipe the PC clean and start over, losing all my important documents and photos. Very unhappy.

    I change the cable with a new one, then download this driver:

    http://global-download.Acer.com/GDFiles/driver/LAN/Lan_Realtek_8.29.314.2014_W81x64_A.zip?acerid=635...

  • Acer Aspire its problems after Win 7 Pro and the new installed HARD drive

    I have an acer aspire 8735 laptop g-6502 which has recently undergone a WD 500 GB drive HARD failure. I replaced that with a 7200 RPM Hitachi 1 TB drive and given that I don't have a Win 7 original used a disk Win 7 Pro with an extra friend.

    Windows 7 Pro and HARD disk installation went smooth. But now when I plug an HDMI cable to watch through my Marantz receiver, comes from the video, but I have to do manually the Marantz the default audio device for sound. When I unplug the HDMI, I must return to the parameters of sound and unenable Marantz and re - activate the Realtek audio.

    Before the drive died HARD, happen all perfectly when you plug the HDMI cable in and the fact to disconnect without any fiddling around with settings.

    I also have a few other questions:
    1. the touch volume control next to the numeric keypad does not control the volume more
    2. the keyboard key used to have a setting to display it. You can use two fingers on a tablet to drag the image to the screen bigger and smaller.

    I looked the site of Acer and also used my drive Application and drivers to reinstall everything that looked related to these issues. When first, I installed Win 7 Pro I let Windows find the appropriate drivers. It worked for some things but not others.

    Any ideas? I have a few scratches on my face and my forehead in frustration pain making me beat me here. Funny, but true, so all ideas are appreciated!

  • Acer aspire m1640 computer of office cannot recover from hard drive failure

    Hi, have a problem with my acer aspire m1640 computer to desktop running vista home premium. The hard drive failed completely, so I installed a new one, realizing I need a new operating system, I bought a new copy of vista Home premium (upgrade version) without license number the supplier told me that my original license number on the case of the m1640 would be ok. When I insert this disc I select cd/dvd-rom in the menu of the bios, enter the country and the language ect, support on continue, and I get a box on the screen saying, can not find the cd/dvd rom drivers. also my new hard drive is not displayed in the bios boot options. I'm starting to think that maybe I need the full version of vista. some advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You should contact Acer and purchase their part back the Vista Home Premium Upgrade recovery media to your provider who gave you the wrong information anyway.

  • I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook. (No DVD player). From the start on the hard drive, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.

    I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook.  (No DVD player).  From the start on the hard drive, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.  The cursor does not type.  For me, maybe I need to reinstall windows 7 and startup tasks are corrupt.  I have my product key genuine for the computer, but no way to get to windows.  How to restore windows on a netbook that won't start?

    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.
