Acer :: CMOS Jumper Switch 5610Z

Mar 7, 2009

I have a grandson just older enough to be dangerous around a computer. Recently I allowed him to use my 5610Z to make some pictures of himself, etc. Later the family went home far from here. Still later I tried to start the Laptop and "enter supervisor password" would appear each time I tried to start it. I'm never used a password, don't even know how to do such a thing. Naturally I called and he "remembers nothing!"

I'm old, 75, and do not have good vision. I found in the Manual for the Model a page showing "Jumper Settings" and a diagram with the description, 'Clear CMOS Jumper.

Note:
J3 locates at the bottom side of the main board as the red circle highlighted." Fine, I found it physically but don't know how to turn it on or off. I've pulled batteries to clear CMOS before but never had to deal with a switch.

Would I be correct in using tweezers and just pulling the square object up, or try to turn it?

I miss my Acer. Two years, never a blue screen, nor freeze up. I want it back running before I kick the bucket.

Acer :: Travelmate 2001LC Boot Block Jumper Location

Nov 17, 2007

I killed my BIOS my mistakenly running a BIOS update in WinXP... Power light, power to drives but nothing else.

After much searching I found I might be able to reflash it using a Crisis Recovery Disk, an external USB floppy drive and some combination of key-presses on boot.

Various combinations of this have been tried (FN+ESC, Win+B, Win+Fn, Fn+B....battery in/out, yada, yada, yada) and so the fallback is to use the boot block jumper as per Acer's support information:
[url]

After downloading FRU guides, user guides and service manuals for loads of Acer models, I haven't got one for the 2000 series that helps, though I have managed to get the keyboard off (I understand this is the usual location for boot block jumpers) revealing switch SW5 with 4 DIP switches.

Now what? :-)

I have emailed Acer support but hear less than glowing reports about their responses,

(I believe the motherboard is an Intel MS2154 which is used in TM20**, TM21**, TM25** and TM26** models, and maybe an Aspire one or two)

Acer :: TM290 Can Empty CMOS Batteries

Nov 18, 2008

i have an Acer Travelmate 290 that barely starts these days. Fan is starting properly but screen remains black. Sometimes the bootscreen appears and then the screen goes white after some seconds. I can go into BIOS or run Memtest+ for some seconds but it always gets white some time later. I removed all modular parts and exchanged RAMs already. It got worse lately. Whereas the device starts maybe one of 10 attempts and remains stable for seconds it was working for minutes weeks ago. I detached/disassembled the notebook completely already several times. I don't have any Pentium-M replacement so this is the only part i couldn't swap yet.

I measured the cmos coin cell. It holds 2.539V of 3.0V. Looks empty but CMOS values are still ok i think (date is correct if i enter BIOS). Is it possible that the CMOS cell is responsible for those false starts?

Acer :: Change CMOS Battery On Aspire One AOA 110?

Mar 3, 2015

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?

Acer :: Deleting Recovery Partition On Switch 10

Oct 2, 2014

First I already created the factory default backup for recovery on USB drives (did 2 of them), but before I want to delete the recovery parittion, I would like to test first the recovery I created on the USB drives.
 
Here is my dillema:I can get to the bios and have already setup the boot sequence to make the primary boot device my USB flash drive.  It seems not to get there.
 
I tried the other option the D2D, wherein I hit the volume up button and the windows button onscreen and I got to D2D.  I get to the menu wherein I am trying to recover from an image and have inserted the USB drive.  That is where it all stops.  It cannnot find the recovery image even though I have already inserted the USB flash drive even before boot up.  I did this with both the USB flash drives I made.
 
I am pretty sure that the USB flash drives contains recovery file, since the USB flash drives titled "recovery" and it contains folders such as "boot" and it has files.  I tried both USB ports (micro - using the OTG cable, and the actual USB port on the keyboard)

Acer Switch 10 :: Battery Icon Keeps Saying 100% Even After Several Hours Of Use?

Oct 8, 2014

My battery icon keeps on displaying that my battery is not depleting, which is weird since I've been using my laptop for several hours now and it is still at 100%. When I plug in, it registers that it is plugged in but says fully charged. Not sure if this is a magical always - full battery - or a problem?

Dell :: 1525 Cmos Change?

Sep 19, 2009

I have a Dell 1525, bought in April 08, about 3 months ago time started to get out of sync and multiple problems with battery "plugged in not charging."

So today after charging the battery from a friends external battery charger ( friend had same problem) I was updating the BIOS to A16 from A06 and when the laptop was restarting with the bios update I get a message saying "Time of Day Clock Stopped."

My question is if I replace the CMOS battery will this solve the problem?
Looking at dell documentation from

looks tedious and time consuming but not hard .....

Acer :: Aspire 5315- When Tries To Switch On Laptop It Seems To Boot Up

Sep 3, 2008

when my girlfriend tries to switch on the above laptop it seems to boot up but there is just a blank, black screen. If you look very, very closely the desktop display seems to be there but we don't know how to change the colour/contrast etc. Is it as simple as that do you think or is the problem deeper. I've tried everything I can think of; I've thrown water over it, hit it with the cat and punched it. None seem to work.

Acer :: Desktop Objects Size Changes When I Switch Between Displays

Apr 1, 2010

I have this Aspire 6920G with a beautiful 1080p screen.

My only concern is that when I switch between different displays, the size of the desktop objects and icons changes (see caputres below). And that occurs even when I connect my laptop to a 1080p LCD screen, with which the resolution does not change (I checked in the nVidia control panel).

After I disconnect/switch back to the original screen, the icons size is still not right and I need to reboot my computer to get them to their original aspect.

Any solution for this not to change everytime I connect an external monitor?

I don't know if it comes from Acer or Windows 7...

Acer Aspire V5-573G :: Nvidia Optimus Does Not Switch

Nov 16, 2014

I'm currently using Acer Aspire V5-573G, which uses Nvidia GT750M.

Whenever I run games or graphics-intensive program such as the adobe premier pro, the program will continue to run using the Intel HD graphics and not the Nvidia driver.

I've tried changing the settings in the Nvidia control panel to use Nvidia graphics driver for all programs, but running the optimus tool will show me that the Nvidia GPU is not being used for any of the programs.
