I received this warning(attachment) this morning and ran malwarebytes and found nothing harmful.
Now my Acer screen saver has disappeared from the drop down menu(attachment).
how to recover it.
Model:Aspire5610z
OS:Vista Home prem.
can anyone provide me with a link to download this, after upgrading to windows 7 I no longer have it.
There might be a possibility to get it from my data drive or one of the other partitions as I have only installed W7 on the C drive encase I needed to go back to vista.
Sometimes when I leave my Helix alone the screen saver kick in. When I try to use the Laptop again after a while, it has turned on the (back) camera and the camera app is completely stuck. No swipe, no Alt-F4 or Alt tab can get it out of there. I have to hold the powerbutton down for a hard-power off.
Seems to me this is a software problem. I tried to install the new Settings app this morning. (this refreshes the camera sw and other drivers) but no improvements. Same problem remains.
well its not really a problem for me but i just wanna mention it because its a bit funny
when i select power saver on the power plan from balance my battery life decrease :S
and when i plug in the charger the screen darkens slightly where as i take out the power it brightens slightly
I have an M1730
8700M GT SLI
2.4GHz C2D
2 Hard Drives....specs in the signature...
anyway, I'm wondering if there is any program, script, or something similar that will, when on battery power:
Turn off all LED lights (Monitor case, speaker LEDs, touchpad LEDs), turn off the NIC card, and turn off one of the graphics cards, and turn down the monitor brightness.
As of right now, doing basically nothing (writing this post) I get about 1 hour 22 minutes of battery life.
I know that Dell's little program Quickset can handle the LEDs, but I dont want to have to run that program in order to turn off the LEDs on battery. Also I know that some power options (screen brightness) is handled in the Power Options but I'd like it so that when I unplug the computer from AC power, it does everything mentioned above...and then when i plug back in, all the lights and gizmo's and graphics cards come back on.
Anyone know how to do this?..I just want everything to be automatic and easy.
I was wondering if the battery on the laptop is covered by warranty, i had my computer for about 9 months and i just ran a program to see my laptop battery life and it rated it at a 45% wear level
The laptop battery is 57720mWh stock and mines at 31402mWh now
I used to be able to run through 2- 1 hour classes on power saver with full brightness
I'm using Aspire V5-473PG.
Recently I noticed that my touch screen sometimes starts to hits randomly at the bottom of the screen. This problem cause some windows became minimize and maximize on its own and when i'm watching video, the video keep pause, play and pause again. I tried to find any crack on the screen but found nothing.
My Aspire M (1.5 years old) was making a horrible noise, so I opened it up to find a very dirty fan. I cleaned the fan, but it still made noise. I bought a new fan and installed it. After closing it up and turning it on, it only gets to the ACER screen and then recycles.
I probably inadvertantly corrupted the BIOS, or is it something else? Can I flash the BIOS without having a working BIOS?
I have an HP HDX 16 that has been giving me some trouble. The problem is that when I set the computer to Power Saver mode it slows to a crawl and I can't hardly move the mouse or type anything. This has happened to me ever since I moved to Windows 7 which is the official upgrade program from Arvato and HP. At first I thought it was a fluke but I previously had a clean install of Windows 7 with no bloat ware and it did the same thing. This has got to be some type of software issue becasue the laptop is rock solid otherwise and no crashing.
Also my remote stopped working after the upgrade. What specific driver update gets this going again?
When I turn on my laptop ,ocassionaly, the screen turns white. At first i thought it was a driver issue because it would only happen when windows loaded. But now it does it when i turn it on before windows starts loading, leading me to believe that this is a hardware issue. does anyone know what i should replace in the laptop inorder to fix this problem?
View 7 Replies View Relatedi'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.
Im running windows 8.1 64 bit Acer Aspire E1-470, I notice my screen keeps on flickering, its like a heartbeat impulse, it dims and gets back light again its not severe but it annoys me alot!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been plagued with this problem for the past month and a half at least, so much so that the laptop has spent the last 3 weeks with Acer and their technical support team in Plymouth (I only got it back last week).
The laptop was sent off with a fault to the screen. It intermittently flickers, mainly when the screen is moved, but sometimes not. The laptop was sent off to Acer 3-4 weeks ago and was returned last week. A report was returned with the laptop and reads as follows:
Problem Description:
SYSTEM FUNCTION - SYSTEM FAIL TO FLASH BIOS
Repair Description:
STORAGE - OPTICAL DEVICE WILL NOT READ/WRITE
Diagnosis/Repair Details:
fitted new ODD and middle cover
Spare Part(s) Replaced:
ODD HLDS SUPERMULTI DRIVE 12.7
COVER.MIDDLE.W/MMN/EKEY-BD
As you can imagine, this report left me completely perplexed but I assumed that somewhere within that they had fixed the screen problem and left me with a fully functional laptop again. And of course I'd been without it for 3 weeks and just wanted to turn it on again!! lol (On a sidenote, I had asked them to check the disk drive also, because back when I first got it, it struggled to read any type of disk. This explains the apparent replacement disk drive)................
I have an Acer Aspire 1362i. Lately when I am working on the laptop, the screen has been going blank for no apparant reason. This can happen on startup, after 1, 5 or 10 minutes. where to start Troubleshooting this problem?
View 12 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that when i start up my Laptop (its about a week old) i just get a black screen and nothing else. The only way of solving this problem is to take out the power lead and the battery and start it up again. I dont want to have to do this everytime i start up my laptop.
This first happened after my laptop crashed (Frozen screen bussing through speakers) there was a lot running at the time, virus updates, windows updates etc.
I'm very intrigued by this CULV "netbook", and would like something to hold me over for awhile since I just sold my notebook. How is the screen quality? I see the spec's list it as LED backlit.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer aspire 6930G home theatre system. The screen has been cracked and needs to be replaced. Can anyone help with either instruction on how to remove the screen.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I have got the top and sides of the front bevel off, but I cannot see how to get the bottom off and I do not want to damage it.
When I use to plug my laptop into the mains you could see the screen got a lot brighter as though it was a power surge. For some reason that no longer happens the display is quite dull and tough to read unless in a dark room!
There was a distinct difference to screen brightness between 'High performance' and 'Power saver' mode. This is no longer the case and the laptop seems stuck in power saver brightness!
I have an Aspire 5610 with 2G ram running vista home premium. I had a few explorer windows open, and was getting memory warnings. I shut a few windows down, and a few hours later, the screen turned blank. I reboot the computer, but the problem persists. Now it turns out if I remove the power supply, and run it on battery, everything is fine. As soon as I instert the power supply chord, screen goes blank (black). Upon removing the power supply, if I shut and open the screen, it works again (and it also shows me a warning message that the wireless is in use, and if I really want to turn the antenna off).
The screen obviously is fine, as it runs fine on battery. I don't understand what is happening as soon as I insert the power supply, and why upon removing the power supply, I get a warning on turning off the antenna.
just got my replacment 1810tz. last book had some trouble with the keyboard. now the brand new just wont boot up. has some fan blowing and once harddisc access and then nothing. i already tried Fn + F5/F6 keys, no result. also attached via hdmi to monitor - but not any flickering. even let it lay there for some hours wiithout batterypack attached. no result.
how to remove the bios battery, maybe this could solve it...?
Had my Acer Aspire 8930 for 11 months now and I've always assumed it displayed images at 1920 x 1080 because of the blu ray drive and the fact it has a sticker on the front of the laptop which says 'FULL HD 1080 PLAYBACK'.
I've just gone into my display settings and it says 1680 x 945!
That is on the highest setting possible.
The sticker on the side of the box it came in says;
Aspire 8930G - 584G32Bn which according to [url] states at the top in the summary it boasts 1920 x 1080.
How can the sticker on my laptop claim full HD at 1080? Do I have the wrong screen on my laptop or am I missing something?
if anybody knows whats going on, i've got an ACER 5810T, just upgraded to windows 7, and ive noticed that when the laptop is not plugged into the mains, every now and then the screen fades for a few seconds and then comes back. The strange thing is, the screen doesnt fade to darkness, instead it is as if the contrast changes before returning to normal again.

I've come home today and the screen keeps on going black even though the computer isn't asleep. I move the mouse, and I see the desktop again, but then after less than a second, it goes black again.
I have a aspire one D255E notebook. How do I use the print screen key? I have tried and it does nothing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe display on my laptop was working fine. I have reinstalled windows 8 64x on my v5-471. On startup the "acer" screen and windows symbol display perfectly, but once it boots into windows, the screen looks fuzzy, with everything ghosted/ duplicated. It works fine on an external monitor. I have installed the intel drivers manually from their website and tried uninstalling them and letting windows find the new driver itself, to no avail.
These are the drivers I have tried installing manually: [URL] .....
It is the same issue as seen in this video: [URL] .....
My aspire s3 screen suddenly goes black. When I connect it to HDMI I can see the display on the HDMI device. When I disconnect HDMI the screen display comes back but again goes black after some time. It is a hardware problem or some settings to be done. This display problem happens when I restart or power on the note book.
