Acer :: Aspire 5600 Series, Unknown Motherboard Component
Feb 21, 2008
I'm looking at the motherboard on my Aspire 5601AWLMi (mobo id "31zb2mb0091" ) and I see there's four places where can insert cards. Two are the RAM chips, those are labeled DDR RVS 1.8V with "tyco" written on the other side of the plastic bracket, there's wireless card slot not really labeled with anything conclusive over near the Lan and Phone port, and then there's another slot labeled "0624n3" on the left side of the plastic bracket and "-+AMP" on the other side of it. I have absolutely NO idea what that last slot is for, and I'd like to know, if anyone can figure it out.
To describe it, pin wise starting from the left it has 1 pin, a divider, then 61 pins in a row. I think it's 61. I'm not willing to recount :P
It's physically shorter than a ram chip, but not by much more than 3/4cm is my guess.
You can see the slot itself in this picture:

The slot is sitting just above that big red..knob..thing.
Also, I found this page, but it didn't tell me anything useful, I think. The mobo is flipped over in the diagrams..

My laptop is aspire 5601AWLMi. Just opened to upgrade the memory and came across this slot. Its 60mm wide or around 2.5'' length and is slightly smaller than the memory slot.

I am going to be doing a fresh install of XP on this machine.
I have downloaded all the drivers for the laptop that I think I need. I only have two questions:
1) The VGA_ATI.zip file, that will install the Catalyst Control Center and everything, right?
2) How do I install the LAN driver? I have the LanRTL.zip file downloaded, however in the folder there is no Setup.exe file. Just 3 .sys data files and a system info file. No executables at all.
Before I go ahead and do the format tomorrow morning, I'd like to get these questions answered. My internet on this computer is connected through Ethernet, so I kinda need to make sure the LAN is working.
Here is the rest of the files I have downloaded, am I missing anything?
. 802ABG
. ATI
. Audio
. CardRdr
. CCD
. Chipset
. ePM (the only one of the Empowerment Technology apps I may install)
. LanRTL
. Touchpad

I have a monitor backlight failure on my Acer 5601WLMI / 5600 series. How do I find a replacement backlight? Are there any instructions on how I would be able to replace it?
I'm a laptop newb, and I've already tried to do a search on this forum and I haven't found any threads for this specific Acer monitor,

I was given a broken 5600 - if I could fix it, it was mine. I fixed the electrical fault, but also foolishly deleted the hidden partition 1, which apparently held the restore image. The donor doesn't have the recovery CD, and I now need to do a full recovery. The drivers on the Acer site don't quite do the trick, and there's nothing I can find on the site to buy a new recovery disk.

This afternoon my Acer Aspire 5600's 100GB ATA/IDE drive died on me (lots of clicking/grinding sounds, nonstop disk read errors). I was looking around for a replacement but all I can find in stores are SATA drives. Can I find a reliable IDE drive somewhere for cheap? Would it be worth putting in a solid state drive (if one can be found for $100 or less)?

I found the part number for the raid component in the Z-series. You just need two low-profile SSD, and you should be able to do RAID in the Z-series laptop without paying for RAID config from Sony.
Part number is A-1553-769-A
You can go here to purchase the part

You may be able to use this in the TT as well, but I'm not so sure about that.

Right down to the matter at hand. Yesterday I was working on my laptop, plugged in, but charging, about 40%, when all of a sudden it shuts down. I wasnt doing anything overly stressful, CPU's were each at about 50% load tops (Ubuntu 8.10, mysql, apache2, rythmbox, firefox, opera, some file browsers, pidgin).
My initial thought was that the power supply adapter had gone - thus it was draining whilst i worked and i hadnt noticed (since the connector is a little worn). I noticed that the little green light was blinking rapidly on it. However when I unplugged it from the laptop, it returned to its static green state.
I went to remove the HDD today as i had to get my work from it, so I thought I would try to start it up anyway. Nothing. Whilst removing the HDD i noticed an occasional clicking (3 little consecutive clicks to be precise, as if it were trying to start but just couldnt. This happened a few times, until I removed the battery, then it stopped. I can replicate this by turning it on and it will keep happening until I remove the battery.
Also I have gone inside, attempted to clean any dust off and cleaned the battery contacts, so it is unlikely to be anything like that.
I know its an old laptop these days and sometimes these things die, but this thing has been my baby. I learnt to code on this thing, I learnt Linux on this thing and I'm not giving it up without a fight.

I have an Acer Aspire 5715Z notebook and I would like to change my motherboard to a more powerful one which has a normal graphics card, not an integrated one.
The motherboard of the 5720G is compatible with this model? If not, which one?
Another question:
Can this series of Acer notebooks use 800MHz DDR2 rams? Or up to just 667MHz?

my housemate is having problems with his Acer Aspire 5600.
Basically pretty much 2 out of 3 times you turn it on it will load in to windows and then just freeze. No touchpad input, no keyboard input, you cant use the power button either, you have to take the battery out to stop it.
I tried a USB mouse, no input from that either.
I formatted the whole machine and reinstalled everything, incase it was some sort of malware, still no joy.
One solution I read was to make sure all the battery settings were set to Never, as it can sometimes be known to put itself to sleep at stupid times... would make some sense for the symptoms, but I've done that and still no joy.
The machine runs fine EVERY time if you run it in Safe Mode... which doubly confuses me...
Another solution I have read is to switch the unit down to Word Processing Power on the acer control panel.
I havent actually installed the acer control panel, since I dont really like having third party software like that on there... but I should probably give it a go. Still, does it really HAVE to work on Word Processing power? That would be.... lame...
The notebook is running Windows XP Business 32-bit.

I have a 1 year and 10 month old Acer Aspire 9300 laptop and the motherboard recently bit the dust. My retailer in Gananoque Ontario could not find a replacement. I called Acer which took forever to get to someplace where I could leave a message. I received no reply. After you've called once it's impossible to call again. I guess their answering machine recognizes my phone number and then asks questions that makes it impossible to get through. I sent a detailed explanation of my problem by email 3 times asking a few simple questions, the most important being 1) where can I send the laptop to be repaired? 2) do you sell replacement motherboards and if so how can I buy one? Am I asking too much or getting too technical for them? I've been trying for several weeks now to contact Acer to no avail. What kind of an idiot company is this? A techie put me onto a company called Grand Tech in Richmond Hill Ontario that can replace the motherboard on an exchange basis but the replacement will likely be a repaired one.
Someone told me that the problem I have with the motherboard is common and it is because the solder used at least when mine was made was of poor quality. I hope that problem has been resolved. I'm afraid a repaired replacement my have the same problem. Some people just say to trash it and get a new on which I did. I bought a Dell Inspiron 17 which is supposed to arrive on Nov 11. I would however like to repair the Acer if it can be done cheaply and use it to replace my 8 year old PC in the rec room.

I am a "silver surfer" with limited computer knowledge and would greatly appreciate help with a problem which has recently occurred with my Acer Aspire 5920G laptop which is running Vista SP1.
All of a sudden and for no apparent reason, when I switch on I get a message " eDSLoader.exe Unable to Locate Component. This application has failed to start because ADMIN_CLASS_LIB.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"
This is followed by a Windows Message which says "eData Security System Loader (Load and prepare environment) has stopped working" and I get the 2 usual Windows alternatives.
Looking in Google, I see an article which says this problem is not serious. It says the eDSLoader program relates to data encryption and is not normally used. The solution recommended by the article is to use msConfig and disable the program from running at start up.
Before doing this, I would like to double-check with knowledgeable members of this forum.
Is disabling the program from running at start-up really the best solution ?
Or should I try to re-install the program in question ? If re-installing is the best option, do I uninstall in the normal way and where do I find a new version of the program to re-install?

i have an acer aspire 1642nlci laptop for about over 2 years now... recently the battery (simplo 4-cell) went nuts, and i disassembled it to see if i could do something about it ( the issue was, whenever i'd boot up my operating system i.e XP, the system would stuck, until i remove and then replug the battery in to the laptop)... well i did no repairing, just put the cells out and then back to the casing, inserted the battery into the lappy, and the issue went all by itself... however, 2,3 days later, the battery stopped charging and agonized by the situation already, and while i had my battery(without the casing) inserted into the laptop, i shorted the i/o pins of the battery to each others with a metal... and then the real issue began... my laptop is cursed, it won't start anymore past the initial 'acer' screen... sometimes the lcd won't light up even... pressing f2 helps nothing, keyboard doesn't work... and if you let it stay on for a while, the power indicator leds *both the supply and battery status ones* start to go dim and dimmer... i think i have fried the mother board's power supply area...

I have a 4 year old Aspire 5552-5898 which is having issues ....
First issue is that the Laptop doesn't always boot. When this happens, the power button will light, the fan will spin, the HDD will start, but the screen stays black. Sometimes the PC will restart but the same thing will happen. Usually when this happens, if you hold down the power button, the laptop will power down, only to start up again. The only way to end this cycle is to unplug the machine and pull out the battery. Also of note this seems to happen 100% of the time if the machine is not plugged in, and about 50% of the time when it is.
The next issue occurs when the machine does actually boot. I HAVE to enter the bios because it never holds the date. I thought this could be a CMOS battery issue, but even after replacing that, the problem persists. After entering the date, and saving and exiting, the machine will boot into windows just fine.

I updated LENOVO V570 to win8.1, every thing looks good except the unknown device question mark in device manager.
It looks come from the power manager driver, because in the message center, it is said, power management does not work with a compatabale problem.

W530
Product: 244752U
BIOS: G5ET95WW (2.55 )
Windows 8.1 - Installed from scratch.
I was able to install and configure all drivers but one. I found a tread that suggested installing Lenovo Setting Dependency Package 2.0.0.13 to fix it on a different lenovo model. I tried it without any success.
The driver id of unknown driver is "{48126E0D-4BDD-4D26-8A24-569C7AB522D6}SettingsDriver"

Today I found an error in device manager "unknown usb device descriptor request failed" with error code 43. Then I found out webcam doesn't work/disappear. So I try to fix the problem and reset bios setting seem to get it back.
But in windows when I try to use webcam, at first it seem to work normally but after a few minutes it disappear and reappear immediately. Repeating this a few time it was again disappeared with the same "unknown usb device descriptor request failed" error.
Repeating the same bios thing again and it's back, running normally. Then I leave webcam program on(cyberlink youcam) to observe. It working fine for around ten minutes then it was repeating disappear and reappear again and this time it blinking like in this video [URL] .... so I turn off webcam, leave it for minutes and running youcam again and it's back to normal(Still working normally when I post this (working for around 25 minute now)).
What cause this. Does this mean my webcam is failing?
Also my webcam LED indicator flickering rapidly like the light bulb when turn webcam on and stop flickering when I point the bright light to the webcam. Is this normal?
Right after I post this it disappear and reappear again but only one time not repeating.
Now "unknown usb device descriptor request failed" is back and webcam disappear again.

regarding purchasing a new motherboard for my HP DV6189eu laptop. The original one went dead with no screen and no bips at boot...
I know from some research that is common of that model of gpu (7200go) to die like that. So I am heading towards buying a motherboard with a different graphic chip, like a Intel one.
The original motherboard is spare number 443774-001. My main question is if I have to be careful in buying a new motherboard or just a new one for the same DV6000 series model with AMD socket is enough?

Dell announced, a few weeks ago, a new replacement for the 57XX and 55XX Mobile Broadband MiniPCIe cards that they are installing as integrated WWAN in select notebooks.
The new Dell Wireless 5600 Mobile Broadband card is based on the Qualcomm Gobi chipset, and therefore supports all major NA carriers (CDMA and GSM/HSPA), and all global UMTS/HSPA bands.
As a result, you can theoretically use this one integrated device on AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, O2, Telus, Rogers, Fido, T-Mobile, or any other EVDO or HSPA service globally, just by activating with the provider (CDMA/EVDO) or using the providers SIM card (GSM/HSPA).

I decided that I am going to pass on the HDTV and get a LCD TV. I am going to get the Insignia because I found out my Best Buy discount works again so I can get the proper cables I need and a TV! It was either the Samsung 27" Tube or this 26" Insignia, and its about the same price so I might as well get it!
My question is is that the LCD TV only has 1 HDMI, which I would be using for my Upconvert player. Should I use VGA from the 1710 to the tv--> Does it support HD out?

when i remove the battery, there is a device that clips into the body and it has a connector on it with very thin wires running to it....
i assume it might be either the wi-fi card, bluetooth, or something else ?
can anyone confirm please ? i unclipped it from the body of the laptop and looked at it but noticed some discoloration on the printed portion of the board that i can see, kind of like it got wet in the past....

i wanted to output the dv5 1009tx to a crt
i bought a vga to 3x RCA (component cable) now thing is it does not output video to a CRT tv
now i know you guys might say use the HDMI , but well i cannot afford an LCD currently or in the near future, and yes the tv isn't any larger stands at 20 or so inches (sanyo)...flat (or as near as flat can be...)
i am using the latest NVIDIA drivers from their website,....i have previously in the past been able to setup dual/clone displays with NVIDIA cards....(using DVI/VGA desktops) but apparently this does not work, the Display driver picks up the TV but sadly no display
i have tried
No interlace (on laptop and tv)
reduced Reso to 10x7
flicker at 60Hz
the tv shows a bluescreen and it flickers....but no image of the desktop
my qs to you all is.......do i need any specific cable (as this one states it is a DVD player to projector...but shouldn't it work anyways?) any other settings i may have missed
(my duty roster would not allow me to get to this shop for another week+) i do not have VGA to RCA or svideo
