I have ACER ASPIRE 5670, and i want to change its HDD but im not sure about what to take instead. I found this WD 500gb
"Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 16 MB Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD5000AAKS " but im not sure will it work or not? how can i know if my HDD is SATA or SATA-II or IDE?
Is there a list of latest CPUs that could be used with Aspire 5670,beside the T2600 that mentioned?how about the T7600 and SP9300...?

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy orbicam is functioning properly but when I close my laptop lid, my computer makes a sound and when I open the lid, my computer says that new hardware was found. This "hardware" is recognized by my computer as "Acer Orbicam #2" which means for some reason, my laptop thinks that a new camera is installed or plugged in everytime I close and open my lid.
Also, it searches for a usb driver that it says the camera can connect to to go faster. But there is no actual camera, it is just recognizing my orbicam twice for some reason. This causes a problem since after awhile, when I close and open my lid, my computer goes blue screen and restarts on me.
I own an ACER Aspire 5672Awlmi (5670 series) notebook
Intel Core DUO 1,73
120Gb SATA @5400
ATI Mobility X1600 up to 512hypermemory
2Gb DDR2 Ram
etc
My only problem is its temperatures from the first day i bought it - especially during summer months.
I found some threads that mention downvoltaging as a possible solution and o downloaded all the appropriate software. The thing is that my CPU temperature remains at 84 - 90 C and as all tutorias agree i need to make experiments to see over which voltage my laptop is not crashing and having blue screens. Has anyone set up a similar laptop (or a laptop with similar configuration) to tell me the voltages used to make it run?
I own an Acer Aspire 5672AWLMI (5670 series) Inter Core duo 1,7, 2GB Ram,
Ati Mobility Radeon x1600, 120GB SATA HD @ 5400rpm.
I am thinking of making 2 upgrades after 2 years of great functionality (despite the fact that it rises high temperatures and i mostly use it on Thermaltake's TaiChi cooler)
1)Upgrade exesting HD to
Hitachi Deskstar 500 GB Internal SATA Hard Drive
7200 RPM, 16 MB Buffer - Serial ATA 3.0 Gbps
2) Upgrade RAM to 3 or 4GB
The reason i am writing is to ask if this Hard drive is compatible with my mobo or should i try to update BIOS or is not compatible at all.
What is the best option for RAM - modules, vendors etc
I have a Acer 5670 laptop and I am wondering if anyone knows where I can find 2 things I want to upgrade for it.
The first is a 7200rpm hard drive instead of the 5400 it has right now.
The second is, I would like to increase the memory for 2gb to whatever I can fit.
I installed the Acer Webcam software & driver and just the driver separately, the download files came from the Acer website. Neither of these allowed me to use my webcam.
When I first got the laptop, the camera was working fine, so it isn't a hardware problem. I recently changed my OS to Windows XP Pro SP3.
The software (both the Orbicam software and the thing in My Computer for windows that usually lets you use the camera) say that another software is using the camera.
I want to reformat my C:/ partition but I've lost (or never had?) my original windows home cd that came with it, nor do I still have a recovery partition. (I wiped it all out...)
Where do I find an acer win xp version so I can reinstall and use my my original windows key?
My acer loaded in xp as normal but my keypad and mousepad were unresponsive so i did a clean install with xp(not acer recovery) that ran through to when you do user input and froze again now i have a new hd and the same thing is happening except when i load into safe mode then everything is fine,
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'd like to change the CPU in my Acer Aspire 5534. It has a 1.2g AMD dual core at present with 4g memory. It's a nice refurbished machine I didn't pay much for. Came with W7 64.

I modify the value of "localy administrated MAC" in the broadcom 802.11g wireless adapter properties.
But when I ask Windows the mac address, it shows me the original MAC of my adapter.

I have a problem with my laptop, is an acer aspire 5672wmli, the model with 1gb of ram.
The drive is a Matsushita UJ-845-S, when it was new it had a firmware version 1.00 and they gave me some incompatible problems with some media, so i decided to flash with a newer version, 1.02 and after that the drive work well but I was unable to did the boot from cd.
The firmware page is this:

The firmware 1.02 is for toshiba OEM and this is why it give me this problem.

I have the acer aspire 5315 and want to change from Vista to XP pro. How do I do this? I have an XP disc. Do I just put it in the cd-rom? Do I need to install extra drivers, and will the computer except this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have Acer Aspire 5720 and originally Win Visa is installed on it.
The problem is that I don't like Win Vista at all and I want to change it to Win XP.
But most of the drivers I found online are ONLY for Win Vista so I'm not sure if those drivers will work correctly on Win XP.
I have two aspire one running XP and one is very slow. I switched the HD and the problem remains with the notebook. I did upgrade the BIOS to the latest one, no change.
What I found is that the ATA/ATAPI controller is set to MODE PIO on the slow notebook and I cannot change it to ULTRA DMA. When I change the driver to the right one then at startup I need to get back to the previous correct configuration as oit will not load windows..
I've been losing date and time recently. I update files, then take them home on a USB flash drive and they appear to be older than what's at home. Turns out my date and time are maintaining. I have to reset date and time when I boot up now. Pretty sure I need to swap out the CMOS battery (maybe a CR2032?) how to find it once the case is opened?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAcer Aspire V3 731 intermittent display shut down, causing me to do a hard shut down. Display comes back on reboot.
I have run memory and gpu tests showing good results.
Thinking I need to change allocated share of RAM in BIOS up from 128. Cannot access that field. Cannot find internet solution to get to that field. Thinking perhaps setting it to 256 or 512. Do not game on this computer. Do not do heavy post processing of images. Do multi task.
Is this intermittent shutdown of the display a known issue?
My brother just bought an Acer Aspire 3680.He purchased 1 gig of DDR2 Memory from Crucial. When we get to the desktop the screen is fine at first then the screen goes off and back on with 8 bit display. 512 DDR2 came in the machine. Crucial site said he could mix memory sizes. I tried it with the 1 gig stick by itself in case the mixed memory was the problem. Same thing..I've tried 2 sticks of 512...same thing. I've tried 2 sticks of 1 gig each..same problem. This laptop won't allow any upgrade at all. Will only run correctly with (1) 512 stick. I've never seen this problem before. I've installed many memory sticks in computers. This is a first for me. What could be causing this?? Any advice would be appreciated. BTW. the computer shows the upgrade amount of memory but the display color keeps changing to 8 Bit! I change it back to 32 and it reverts back after a few moments to 8 Bit. I went to Acer and installed an updated driver for the Intel Graphics card thinking the driver would help. I haven't installed a bios update yet. Called Acer and they said to return it for repair.

I did this with my Travelmate 2480-2153 and have been very please with it. I have the Vista CD that I can upgrade to when I feel that there won't be difficulites with a couple of my programs and now the better half is wondering is this can be done with the newly acquired Aspire.
I own a 3.5 years old Acer Aspire 5742G (Core i3 M380; NVIDIA540M). the heat sink or the collinig fan might have some issue as it usually gets overheated when playing games (even CS condition zero/1.6). I don't play games anymore, so its not a problem.
The problem is that I am unable to adjust the screen brightness from the keyboars shortcut (Fn+ Left/Right arrow key), neither from the control panel (Power Settings).
Although I do noticed something that, if I change my brightness settings (nothing happens) and I close the laptop lid (display screen) by folding it down and openeing it back after 3-4 seconds, the brightness is now changed.

Acer Aspire v5-571p
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...

While using the Fn key and pressing Fn+Left Key or Fn+Right Key, the on-screen brightness indicator alternates between two levels but the brightness of the screen doesn't change.
