in plain English, with no mention of pinmods etc, what can go in this?
The sticker on the ram has two references:
554E1010015430136EKS00
MBA74010015430136EKS00
And the manufacture date seems to be late 05.
I'm not massively worried about a major speed increase, more a cooler running less battery killing CPU. From reading on here it seems a 725A should work, but what about a 725? i can't seem to find any differences between the two other than model number!
Stripping the whole thing to change the CPU isn't a prospect that thrills me, so I want to be sure I'm fitting something that works, and as I'm tight I want to be buying as cheap as possible - Seems there's a few s/h 725 CPUs kicking around cheaper than 725A's at the moment
i've got an Acer Aspire 3613WLMi and the screen is faulty.
when i switch the laptop on the screen comes on full white and then fades slowly to the bios screen (no hdd installed right now). I put a windows vista installation cd in to test it further and it faded slowly to the installation screen, everything moved in slow motion, the mouse cursor moved across the screen really slowly and leaves a trail. I've replaced the ribbon cable and that hasn't fixed it, it's not a motherboard fault that i know of because i've plugged an external monitor in and that worked so i've narrowed it down to either being a fault with the lcd or with the inverter.
i'll try to get a video of what i'm trying the explain, it's difficult, the screen sort of fades into view in blotches and patches all over.
I have a Acer Aspire 3610 and it works really well. (after turning the video card up in the bios). anyway, i wish to overclock it to get around 1.8 to 2 GHZ out of the cpu. unfortuntly this means more heat, im wanting to replace the fan with something faster. but after a fustraiting battle, i cant find out how to open it. i removed all the screws and pried the edges open but it wont budge. it would be awesome if someone could give me a step by step way to open it. some pictures would be cool too.
Whenever I try to launch Acer ePowerManagement I receive the following error:
epm
The specified module could not be found.
I have uninstalled the program, deleted the driver and re-installed the program but to no avail. I can right-click the ePowerManagement icon in the task bar and change cpu speed and Brightness but I can not launch the utility.
I am running Windows XP Home on an Aspire 3610.
Has anyone ever experienced this error and resolved it?
I want the upgrade the process, either with or with out the pin mod, but i dont know what processor (Like the best processor) i can use, i see in many websites that the socket 479 mPGA can be upgraded to a duo-core, but i dont know if my laptop can be upgraded to a duo-core,....I think it could, because its the 479 mPGA and there are duo-core that fit the socket and runs on 533 MHz,
I have purchased a DVD Writer to replace the DVD-ROM the laptop came with. With some of my old laptops, these drives were held by one screw or a spring loaded lock, but this does not seem to be the case with the Acer.
which screws in which order need to be taken out to replace the drive?
A few days ago I booted up my laptop but only the lights appeared and the drives span up. The screen remained black and blank. I looked through a lot of information on the sysmptoms but none of the suggestions worked. However when I removed the Nvidia 8600m and booted up the system went all the way through to the Windows music. This makes me think the GPU has died which seems to be a commone occurrence.
My question is has anyone successfully replaced the 8600m with another GPU on the 9920G? I'd rather not put the same model back. The ATI HD3650 seems a good alternative but may not be completely compatible.
The only source of replacement GPUs seems to be eBay hailing from Hong Kong or China.
so I can "unbrick" my 2 year old laptop. I'm running on Windows 7.
possibilities of putting WWAN into it. Anyone has done it so far? On the spec page they say that ONE mini-PCI slot is available if you want to add WWAN.
i just purchased a 4810T and i am totally lost as to what i can actually do with it in regards to expansion. I'm not sure what exactly the terminology is (PCIe mini?) or what it means.
Could anybody give me a run down on what exactly i can add to my new timeline and what the slots actually are usable for? SSD? SSD + HDD? 3g modem? Does the sim card slot work?
i dropped my netbook last night and cracked the left hinge. the hinge itself actually seems like a two piece and snapped back together, however it looks like it completely broke off the body.
the netbook looks like it still works, but im wondering what my options are, if any?
im assuming the standard acer warranty doesn't cover this...is it worth trying to fix myself, or is that even possible? should i just pray it keeps working and just hope for the best?
my dad has an Aspire 5630 and he wants to know what sort of upgrades he can do on it, would he be able to upgrade the ram to 1GB and put an 7,200rpm HD in it?
Let me start by saying that this forum is EXCELLENT source of information.
Now let me give a short history...
I had upgraded CPU before in Laptop (in my Acer 3680). So I decide to upgrade the CPU in my Acer 5315 as I gave my 3680 to my brother. I also have a work laptop which has a T7200 processor. My Acer 5315 has Celeron M 530 - from my research it should be ableto upgrade since it has the 965 chip. Before I buy any new CPU off of ebay I wanted to test and see if the Acer supports T7200 (Core 2 Duo) since I had the other laptop at hand I decided to try to work with that first.
So I disassembled the Acer 5315 took out the CPU (its very easy access) - disassembled my other laptop got the T7200 out and I put it in the Acer 5315, put it together and boot the system... Nothing... Thats when I realized that out of my infinite wisdom I had forgot to remove the battery in the Acer 5315...
So now I took the battery out, took the T7200 out from Acer, put it in my other laptop and guess what... the other laptop does not work either.... I put the celeron processor back in the Acer 5315 and it does not work either.....
So now I am out 2 laptops. My work laptop is under warranty so thats already being repaired... no worries there. But I think that I have fried hte motherboard and CPU in the Acer 5315. I tried to reset the CMOS but to no avail.
What are my options now? Here are my thoughts 1. Sell the laptop for parts on ebay and buy a new one - I think it will go for like 50-60 may be 100 if I leave the HDD and Memory in. New Core 2 Duo will cost atleast 600 for a decent one.
2. Get a new motherboard and CPU and fix the 5315 - I checked ebay and it seems that the mother board is like $200 - I dont think its worth it unless I can be sure that it will support Core 2 Duo processors - which over all will nd up costing me like $270 - still cheaper than new one. --- Does any one know where I can find cheaper motherboards for laptops?
3. Not sure if this is possible - can I get a desktop/other laptop motherboard that will fit and work in my Acer 5315 frame? I dont think desktop motherboard will be possible - but what about other company laptop motherboards?? Can I find some aftermarket parts?
Did you check out the supported gestures from Microsoft to make sure you are using the correct gesture for pinch and zoom? Unfortunately, I do not have a contact at Microsoft I can contact on this issue.
In response to your question about Windows 7....You can install any OS you choose, and shouldn't have a problem installing Windows 7. You will need to make sure Windows 7 drivers are available for your system. Drivers can be found at [URL] ...
Just setting up a new Aspire E5 for my girlfriend and can't see how to change touchpad options (eg sensitivity, scrolling settings etc). On my own acer V3 571G from the basic mouse options I can go into "elan" to change various options but don't seem to have (or can't find) this option on the new E5...
I purchased Aspire E5-571 series laptop from a store in Chemnitz, Germany on 29th of Oct 2014. From the date of purchase, I find that when ever I right click on Desktop, it is taking 15-20 seconds of time to display various options. When I searched on internet, I found that some process which are incorporated by INTEL are the main reasons for this cause. But I am worried that whether my graphics card works properly or not with out these process. The following are process that I disabled.
After disabling these process, my problem was recitified on my own. But I wanted to know whether there is any solution other than this. I tried reinstalling graphics, Touch Pad drivers.
I currently have a latitude x1, it served me well, but it's time to upgrade. My options are something within the 13"-15" screen range --no more external disk drives--such a pain in the backside. My main concern with which i need assistance is what
Dell screen would be best visually? My position requires extensive computer use so I need a screen that would be best on the eyes. What i noticed with my current model is that it puts a lot of strain on my eyes. Perhaps it is the brightness, or perhaps it is the actual quality of the screen, in any case I need help selecting an appropriate model for me.
I specifically want to go with dell because I receive a discount through them.
money is not an issue. I primarily use my notebook for MS Office applications, media editing, and web browsing -- occasionally play a game or two or watch a movie.
My current options are Vostro 1320 screen options- 13.3 ultrasharp WXGA LCD w/true life or, -anti glare 13.3 WXGA.
XPS Studio 13 -Edge to edge 13.3 HD WXGA LCD -Edge to edge 13.3 HD WXGA Slim WLED LCD
Latitude E4300 -13.3 Wide screen WXGA WLED panel for latitude ON
I bought a Inspiron 1545 in the outlet section, got it for $420 with a coupon I got off ebay.
I got the laptop and I absolutely love it! But there is a problem, the graphics card driver keeps crashing, this is an annoying problem and I think it might progressively get worse, so I'm worried.
My options so far that I can think of are:
Do a complete OS reinstall (can I use my dell cdkey to reinstall vista?)
Send it in to get fixed, if that's the case, what kind of fixing will they do?
Thanks.!

I'm currently running 190.40 drivers for my GeForce 9500M on my SXPS13. Before updating to 190.40, clicking the little green NVIDIA tray icon that shows what mode you're running in allowed me to choose my mode manually through the use of two radio buttons.
Currently, I can only switch between "Boost Performance" and "Save Power" by switching power profiles in Windows. Is there some way I can get back those radio buttons without having to go back to the older driver?
I know this question has been repeated, but what are the best things that can be done with the XPS Gen 2 (M170) to polish its shine? Can a graphic card with 512MB be installed? Mother board replaced?
One more thing, Anybody succeeded in replacing his/her old system with a new one with Dell?
I attached a screenshot of the config options for Hard Drive for a Vaio Z.
I thought that the x1 or x2 would mean 1 and 2 drives of the given size, for example: 192GB (128GBx1 + 64GB+1) would mean ONE 128GB drive and ONE 64GB drive.
However, I am confused after reading posts here. It seems the 192GB option is actually 3 64GB drives?
Is 256GB really 1 drive or 2 128s or 4 64s? Their page says 1 256 which I don't believe.
I am also interested in the config for 384 and 512.
I love the Sony Z but the 1600 resolution is holding me back from recommending to a client because he can't stand those very high resolutions. We purchased a FW series (16.4" w/ 1920 res) and that was too high. 1600x900 looks even worse on a 13 inch.
My question is, is there any resolution options with the Z to go lower?
The SR "Blue Label" series that Sony made for Best Buy is the perfect machine, except the for the fact that it doesn't have dedicated graphics or good battery life. Is there any way to get a Z with the lower resolution?
I am stuck debating between the 15.4 WLED (1440*900) and the 15.4 non-LED (1920*1200). I am just not sure which I would prefer. If the WLED came in a 1920*1200 option I don't think I would be so concerned.
I really like the size, weight, and potential power savings of the WLED screens but I am used to working on larger monitors (22 and 25 inch) running at higher resolutions.
What does everyone think about these two choices? Will I be happy with the WLED at the smaller resolution or is it better to opt for the traditional screen with the higher resolution?
Just so everyone knows the laptop won't be my primary computer but will get a lot of use while working on graduate work away from home, writing website code, and general use. The only gaming activity it might see is some occasional WoW.
I'm not interested in a large resolution (I guess that 1280x800 is enough in a 15" screen) but it seems that the display with this resolution has a smaller view angle (especially vertical) than the 1400x900 display that maybe is not very good if you spend some time reading documents.
