ive just bought this laptop when i got it the person i bought it from told me sometimes you need to reinstall the graphics driver for it to work alright,the screen went all messed up then back to normal,but when you scroll down the pages on the net it sort of flips over on its self and really slow went moving down the page.so i think i need to reinstall the graphics card driver,problem is how do i do this,i read on here that someone had said its on the recovery disc in the patch/vga folder ,i went to this folder vga but its empty,so any ideas how i can reinstall it,if not has anyone got the driver for this model x1400 512mb please,please,please as ive spend hours reading up and checking the acer web page with no luck,plus whats the best way to look after this model so it keeps running alright like is there any common problems which i should change or look out for
I used to use Omega drivers on mine until I upgraded to Premium x64. I have another 5672 issue (not entirely sure if I should have made a thread of it or not though).
On removing the HDD: The USB bus for the ports on the left side of the laptop rests under the HDD. When I removed the HDD the USB cable was stuck to it and, therefore, lodged out of it's motherboard connection. I can't see or find where to slide it back in. It "looks" as if it connects to the motherboard the same way the keyboard cable does.
I have an Acer Aspire 5672Wlmi and recently my battery went completely dead. I went to the Acer website to find out that they are out of stock which meant that I am out of luck. A quick search on amazon gave me some promising results and a few days ago I bought a battery that is an equivalent of the one I need.
If I try to boot the computer using the battery I get an error saying that I have the wrong battery and I should insert the correct battery and press any key. This message is shown immediately after the Acer logo flashes momentarily during the POST so I guess this restriction comes from Acer's BIOS. Right now it seems my chances of having the right battery are as high as being able to find a key that says "any" o my keyboard.
However I know that the battery is fine because it runs fine if I insert it once the latop has booted. Even if I remove the power plug after that it runs just fine. Also the fact that I am able to read the message when the latop is running only on battery is sufficient to convince me that my battery is fine and my BIOS is wrong.
My questions is, what should I do to fix this problem? I have already contacted the seller but I thought you guys might know more about how to fix this. I guess it would involve flashing the bios which is fine with me.
If it matters for the BIOS version, the laptop was bought in the UK.
My sister believes the fan has failed (again) in her Acer 5672wlmi laptop. Last time I replaced the entire heatsink/fan unit, but I can't find them anywhere anymore. I have, however, found a fan that's supposedly compatible...
Has anyone here replaced a fan in a heatsink module without replacing the heatsink as well? From what I remember they really seem to be built quite firmly together... but if the store says this is compatible I have to assume there's some way to take them apart.
I am new to this p2p support group. I have an aspire 5672WLMi with 2G RAM and factory configuration. I need to transfer files from my SD card with the 5 in one card reader slot. However after I insert the card I don't see it in the my computer as removable media.
How do I read the SD card? What am I doing wrong?
Do I need additional drivers or manuals for this?
Is there any one who can guide me to download my data using this SD card reader slot.
I Just upgraded my 5672 to Windows Vista with a clean installation, installed all drivers from Acer's site. When I am using skype with bluetooth headset (Samsung WEP200) it crashes my computer to a blue screen does a memory dump and reboots. This happens every time after about 10-20 minutes of skype usage. Everything else seems to work fine for hours on end.
Secondly I still have an unknown device in device manager after installing all the drivers from Acers site, anyone know what device that could be? The hardware ID is "ACPISMCB000"
I've been looking for hours for a LAN driver for this laptop...my wifi works perfect via the Intel Software from the acer website. But the usa/european site doesn't have the LAN driver. I lost the original CD.
I've got an Aspire 5920G with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics card/chipset. Up until last week, I'd been running with whatever drivers had been installed when I originally purchased the laptop in October last year.
Vista's Windows Update told me of new drivers for the 3470 that had been released in January, so I promptly downloaded them, glad to have something a little more up-to-date, since the laptop is being used frequently as a lightweight gaming machine. The driver, according to Device Manager, is dated 15/01/2009, and is version number 8.580.0.0.
My problem now is that every time I boot the machine, an ATI warning appears reading the following:
"The Catalyst Control Center is not supported by the driver version of your enable graphics adapter. Please update your ATI graphics driver, or enable your ATI adapter using the Displays Manager."..................
When i put a DVD in no picture shows up- there is still audio and i can still click options but i cannot see what i am selecting. I also tried playing a youtube video which showed up as a green screen. Ive looked around and it says i need to update my graphics driver. I already looked on the acer website for a graphics driver download and i cannot find one.
2 days ago I bought a acer notebook. The touchpad is working but not the gestures. If i go to the "mouse settings", there are no specific settings for my touchpad. Just the normal mouse settings like pointer speed. I already downloaded the 2 driver which are on the acer support site: TouchPad_Synaptics_18.1.2.1_W81x64_A and TouchPad_ELANTECH_13.6.1.1_W81x64_A. I have installed boot of them sucesfully (there was the green pick).
Also for ur info there are no warning signes for unknown devices in the device manager.
I have bought nVidia GeForce 9650M GT 1GB DDR2 MXM II Graphics Card from ebay. Aspire 8930G is listed by the seller as one of the laptops that supports the card.
I have changed the card very carefully. My previous card was 9600m GS DDR2 512mb MXM II.
At the moment the laptop does recognize the card, however sees it as Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.
Here is my GPU-Z screen shot. [url]
And this is what it should look like after installing nVidia video driver. (So I believe) w ww.aliexpress.com/product-fm-img/288728719-NVIDIA-GeForce-9650M-GT-Graphics-Card-Acer-Asus-wholesalers.html
However when I try to install nVidia drivers from the nVidia website, the setup informs me the following: "The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
Has anyone tried 9650m GT with their Acer laptops? Did it work? Does anyone have a solution in my case?
I have a Acer Aspire 5720G, with a Geforce 8400M GS graphics card apparently, i have every other driver installed for xp. The only one i cant seem to get to work is the graphics driver. I have tried Google and downloaded numerous drivers but i cant seem to find one that will work, they all either wont install because they don't recognize the hardware, or with custom inf's from laptopvideo2go they install then when i boot windows, then say they're incompatible and have reverted back to the default VGA drivers.
i have an acer aspire 4530 with windows xp service pack 2.
Acer provided drivers for xp,however the atheros wi-fi network controller is not working properly.. i tried installing vista and evrything worked fine ...
I am wondering the Realtek audio driver provided in the acer webpage can be used in aspire 1690 as the sound card is Conexant. Anyone can get the sound card works in windows vista. I tried but it failed.
So I am trying to play Dragon Age Inquisition on my newly aquired Acer VN7-571g. It's equipped with a gtx 850m. When I'm trying to start the game I get this error message "Detected NVIDIA driver is 333.17. The required driver version is 340.52 or later. Please update your drivers at geforce.com/drivers before playing the game" Now the problem is that the driver from acer is version 333.17. If I try to install a newer driver directly from geforce it won't recognize the dedicated GPU and will run on the integrated intel HD graphics in stead.
While installing the Wireless Lan Broadcom 802.11 driver I get the error: Update.cpp 1185. The machine is an E1-532P and this is the only driver which has a problem. Broadcom.com does not provide support for end users.
I have the 9600m GT out of a 8930g installed in my Aspire 5720 laptop but every nvidia driver that I try to install says that the hardware is not compatible with the driver or some crap.
Am I out of luck with this card or is there a way to force install a driver...or is there a better driver to install?
I've tried the latest 197.16, 186.03 drivers from nvidia. Even from laptopvideo2go...no dice.
I receive this BSOD very often I don't know where the conflict exactly happens... How can I find out which installed new drivers have conflicts?
I updated all my system to new official drivers but still the same...Any solutions to this?
Driver irql not less or equal BSOD occurs when I surf the net using Mozilla Firefox... I just open up a few more pages and some downloads or download... and it appears... McAfee Antivirus could have some problems? or my Nvidia Geforce 9500M GS drivers? ( Forceware 179.28 beta, from Nvidia site)
or my network card Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114, which I think it has almost certainly problems.... ver. 1.0.0.38

Well few days ago accidentally I drop my laptop and after that it start become extremely slow.. I tried everything but few hours later I had no access to Window and the message 0x00000e9 again and again! I opened bios just to take a look and HDD had disappeared...I contact Acer and told them my problem.. After that I asked what HDD should I get because I'm not interest to get the same like the old one!I would like to buy a better one (More Rpm, .Capacity and Sata 3 ofc) but they told me that should I buy the same!!!
For sure the old one had failed :-(My laptop is Acer Aspire 5750G i7 and the hard driver was Toshiba MK7559GSXP 750G Sata 2 and Code KH.75004.001I would like to know if mobo can support Sata 3if I buy a new HDD different from what Acer suggest me to do or it will be a bad deal for me and my laptop can't support the new hardware?!
I just bought an Acer computer, and am to the point where I am about to return it for a MAC because I cant turn off the tap to click feature. I have tried going through the control panel and messing with the mouse settings. I have tried to install the elantech driver as well as the synaptics driver. I can't get the drivers to actually work. I have contacted Microsoft and they are basically like "we don't know so go ask Acer."
i have bought myself the aspire 6920G, and i have two questions.
First: I would like to update my Nvidea Geforce 9500M GS driver, i went to the site, downloa section. I found quite a list of files, but i don't know wich file i should download.
Secondly i'd like to know if it's possible to link the gemstone control to windows media player. Atm it opens Windows media center, but i think it's not very good to listen to music while gaming.
a have a acer aspire 5630 and my dvd driver has a problem this is what it says Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
I have Accer aspire e1-571 i want to know abaut base system device, i have installed all drivers in my laptop but base system device driver pending i want to knw how to install it. os win 7 pro 64 bit
I just got a Acer Aspire V3 771-6605 with Windows 8.1. My touch pad wouldn't scroll or respond to any finger gestures, so I tried installing the ELANTECH and Synaptics touch pad drivers from the acer support site for my laptop. However, after I restarted the computer I keep getting stuck at the screen right before where you put in your password (the lock screen?). The only keys that seem to do anything are the function keys.
Recently, the screen on my laptop goes blank, then after a few seconds returns to normal with a message that the display driver stopped working but has recovered.
Is there a possible solution to stop this happening?
My dad bought this really cool notebook with gaming entry parts. I was wanting to install the latest driver on the Nvidia webiste but it keeps telling me that the hardware is undetected. I tried uninstalling both the Nvidia and the Intel driver but nothing seems to work. How to stop this error from occuring?
