My wife dropped her Extensa 4620z. It's working fine, but it broke the pin inside the yellow power connector jack. If I could get to it, I could epoxy the pin in place and perhaps solder the jack to the mobo. But, I can't get the freaking thing open! I removed all the screws and removed the lower panel, but I have no idea how to get the laptop open. how to disassemble the laptop
View 6 Repliesbroadcom 802.11g network adapter is not working on extensa 4620z.
i just installed win xp pro on acer extensa 4620z which came pre-installed with linpus linux.
all is well except that the broadcom wireless g adapter is not working. in device manager, it says "Windows cannot load drivers for this hardware. the driver may be corrupted or missing.(code 39).
i tried downloading the driver from acer europe site and installed again but it still has the same problem. the driver on the cd which came with the laptop and the one which i downloaded from acer site is the same.
are there any other drivers or any other program which needs to be installed for this?
I have an Acer Extensa 4620Z and I am trying to do a fresh install of XP. I have found all the drivers for XP for this system including the AHCI driver for the serial drive (since the bios will not let me switch to a different mode).
Once I start the XP install, F6 and select the correct driver from the floppy drive connected via USB port all is good. The install sees the hard drive and begins the install. However, once that process starts I am again prompted for the Intel Controller driver and the reason it now does not find it appears to be simply that the USB ports go dead at some point between the initial start of the install and this point.

my question is 7 part
1. can i upgrade the cpu to one or all of the 5 directly below these questions?
2. If so what Sodimm DDR2 Ram DDR2 533 or 667 or 800 MHZ For each CPU?
3. Can the notebook FSB run at all 3 533, 667 or 800Mhz ?
4. What is Max Ram size at the available upgrade CPUs ?
5. What is Max Ram Size at current T2370 (1M Cache, 1.73 GHz, 533 MHz FSB)?
6. Confirm the OS for the system should be 64bit not 32 bit?
7. the OS says its a 965 chipset yet link one says 960 and link 2 below says 960/965 chipset ?
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processors
T7100 (2M Cache, 1.80 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) I assume DDR2 800 mhz @ 4GB
T7300 (4M Cache, 2.00 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) I assume DDR2 800 mhz @ 4GB
T7500 (4M Cache, 2.20 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) I assume DDR2 800 mhz @ 4GB
T7700 (4M Cache, 2.40 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) I assume DDR2 800 mhz @ 4GB
T2390 (1M Cache, 1.86 GHz, 533 MHz FSB) I assume DDR2 533 mhz @ 4GB
ok heres why im so confusde
Every thing is contradicting itself from the notebook itself stating its a Intel® Pentium® Processor T2370 (1M Cache, 1.73 GHz, 533 MHz FSB)
and the documents for this notebook on your site is contradicting to each other and the notebook labels/cpu inside it.....................
I have an Acer Aspire 2000 Notebook and it has some trouble.
I have broken the right monitor support who permitt me to open and close the Laptop. I must disassemble it to repair this object.
I have a 6920G which somehow got a hair behind the screen some time ago.
My warrant ended some time ago so I guess I need to remove it myself, if I want it removed (and I do).
The hair is in the middle, not too far from the bottom so it sure is annoying. It looks like a very, very thin strain of hair, most likely from one of our cats.
I have googled for many hours for ways to disassemble my laptop and even tried it myself without a guide and I came pretty far until I gave up in fear of breaking the screen.
Do anyone have a guide or something on how I can remove the LCD to clean it off? Far as I understand service manuals are not to be asked for (for legal reasons?) so a guide or detailed instructions is what I desperately need.
how to disassemble a Dell Inspiron Mini 12
First get 1 small + screw driver
and 1 pair of latex gloves(to prevent ESD)
1-Take your Mini 12 and flip it upside-down
2-Un-Screw all the screws on the bottom. NOTE: There is no need to map out where each screw belongs because they are all the same.
3-Remove the bezel above the keyboard
4-Unscrew the 2 screws above the keyboard holding it down and remove the keyboard
5-Detach the wiresfrom the motherboard, leading from the top of half of the base(power, sound, touchpad, and antenna's)
6-Remove the top half of the base
Now that you have opened up the laptop, you can look at all the components and clean it with canned air(if necessary).

Has anyone successfully disassembled the e4300 before? I wasn't able to find any documentation or photos anywhere.
how to open/disassemble my VGN-CS110E laptop but no one had the manuals, etc to how to open it. I have read from several places that the Vaio is like a jigsaw puzzle, and in which case it is. There are always different was of opening different Vaio's. From the "popup" keyboard, to "popup speaker" just to get into the fan. The CS-series is different, you open it as if it were a desktop computer.
First, turn the laptop over so the screen is shut and is on the bottom.
Remove the battery, once removed, there are 2 screws (ignore the 3 black screws), remove the 2 screws.
After this is done, unscrew the screws that is in the casing of the RAM as well as HD. The HD has two screws to be unscrewed, one is hidden thus you have to remove the HD to unscrew it.
In order to disassemble the CS-series, you must unplug a cord that's within the RAM compartment, in doing all of this, slowly lift the underneath piece of the laptop, it should pry away slowly and then you can see the motherboard, fan, etc. You can disassemble the monitor screen from the laptop now as well.
I just installed XP Pro on my Acer Extensa 4630Z and I installed all the drivers successfully but the wireless driver. I tried all the drivers from acer's support site [url] none of them work. I also tried what worked for Davoucci with same laptop but this driver also doesn't work for me

I installed Windows XP SP 2 without SATA and everything was running perfectly exept i was getting BSOD from time to time . Recently (one month ago) i installed Windows 7 .
Performance in ordinary work and in programs is now excellent but...... There is another side of the medal. PC games . When i intsalled ACER graphicks drivers i runned my games with stuttering . Also with ATI drivers(9.12) modded by Mobility driver threre is no stuttering but i can play only in low resoluitions like 800 600, 640 480 etc. What is the problem ? I really dont like XP and i like Windows 7.
Ever since I bought this laptop I've had an issue of it shutting itself down. Almost always while watching youtube videos. I found out about the handy little tool called coretemp and I see my processors running about 68+ nearly all the time. When I have websites loaded that have flash animations, ads, videos (youtube), it only gets hotter and hotter. It nearly always reaches 90+ (Celsius) and then shuts down.
I read about it needing a bios update for many people who say they have the problem with the laptop screen going black, but I think mine is heat related.
My laptop runs around 68 when idle and when busy it gets hot. Right now I have Google Chrome open with two tabs, one is this webpage and the other is gmail and its running at 75 celsius. Performance tab in task manager says it has a processor load of only 1%.
I keep a watch on the temperature and as long as I start closing programs and windows when it reaches around 80 it will start to cool down. So as long as I can keep an eye on it the laptop will run fine for days with no problems. If I forget to check and it gets too hot it'll shut down. I'll check the logs and sure enough the last few lines of the last log file will look something like this ...
Why does the fan run so damn much? I know that the bottom of the laptop does not get hot like Compaq and Sony, but it is damn annoying. There seems to be two speeds, one that is low and runs silently, and the high...this is the problem.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just bought 2x2gb ram from my Acer Extensa 5610 and my Windows 7 x64 can see it right, but only use 3gb. Resource monitor says the other 1gb is Hardware reserved. In the Bios theres an info saying extended memory 3gb. Is that what the problem is? coz its not something I can set in this version of bios.
Do i have to upgrade my bios? if so, to what version? The manual clearly says i can upgrade to 4gb. (extensa 5610 has intel 945 chipset)
Have you guys heard about Acer's Extensa line of products? Well, so far I've just seen them in Acer sites from Asia, and I was wondering how many people actually use them already.
Another thing, I was also looking for someone who particularly owns an Acer Extensa 4630G--the most recent budget one (I think) with Intel C2D T5800, ~4GB 667MHz RAM, I think with 320GB Harddrive, and ~nVidia 9300M GS~ (256MB dedicated)
For people who own this kind of notebook (or those with the 4630ZG, the one with the Pentium Dual Core instead of C2D), how does the notebook handle? Does it heat up easily? Does it perform well with relatively recent games/3D modelling applications etc.?
I just purchased a acer extensa 4630Z and it has vista home premium on it. I want to downgrade it to xp, but when i put the a oem xp cd in while the system is booting up it preloads all the xp files but then get a blue screen with error 0x0000007b. How can I get a xp cd that will support this laptop?
I know you can use nlite to make a custom xp cd but I cant seem to find the right drivers to do so. I seen some people add slipstream drivers for aspires but this is different.
couldn't find any review about this model. It would be an all in one budget laptop for my gf (internet, pics, vid, office).

I got this laptop about 2 months ago from best buy here in canada. It came with windows vista. The first thing i did when i got home was format my hard drive and installed windows xp pro.
All is well but I cant get my bluetooth working. the blue light does not come on at all and when i let the launch manager load with windows and try to use the bluetooth it says no device found.
This laptop came bluetooth enabled so WTF man!
I have recently bought a new Acer Extensa 4220, I am wanting to upgrade it by installing another 512 MB ram card into it. Only problem is i cant figure out how to open the back up.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi find in this web more and very good information about notebooks, with this information can i upgrade the CPU of my Acer 5715Z from a T2370 to a T7500, and i know this chipset 965 can i ugprade more, but know i have a very good offer to buy a cheap notebook Acer Extensa 5230 with a Celeron M575, and put in this one my T7500 to upgrade this bad cpu celeron.
But, there's always a but, i search information in the web and i think this chipset is not compatible to upgrade a good CPU (not Celeron).
This is the information about notebook:

I have an Acer extensa 5220 laptop, which suddenly decided this morning that it wont turn on any more! It was working perfectly fine, has good anti-virus, etc., and worked fine an hour before but now when it's turned on, the power button goes green and nothing else happens. It's not been dropped or banged, was not plugged into the mains at the time (but can that rule out a surge the last time it was plugged in?)There is not even a flicker on the screen, the fan doesn't come on, but I think the hard-drive hums. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with it?

View 6 Replies View Relatedi bought 5635G like 3 months ago..and ever since i been having a same problem...everytime i try to play some game it freezes and i have to hard reset it.
But here is the weird part that only happens when laptop is running on AC power (when it's plugged in) however when i unplug it i can play normally for as long as battery lasts.
I got an Acer Extensa 5420 a few months ago refurbished and at first everything seemed fine. A month or so later I noticed that the line out had a small crack in the middle of the green ring.. a little annoying but my headphones seemed to work fine so I just ignored it. After using the line out for a few months it's become more and more faulty. Now, when I plug in headphones no sound comes out, it doesn't even recognize anything is plugged in unless I have it turned at the exact right angle. I know the audio jack is just screwed up, but what options do I have to fix this problem?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have the extensa 4420, today I was in class and I was just typing notes and I noticed that my cooling fan was quite noticable so I turned the fan always on function to "off" and the fan turned off and it was nice and quiet. i watched the temps hover around 38 but when the temps hit 41 (according to NHC) the fan kicked in at a good low speed. the NHC was setting the CPU to stay at 800mhz per core so I was wondering if that is a good temp? I have experience in using thermal paste, would that help lower the temps enough to stay under 41 degrees?

I am thinking of buying one if these soon from BestBuy. I have an Aspire 5003 and no problems with it. I will be getting this for 250 as I have a broken PDA with replacement plan and they no longer sell this model. I will probably buy it tomorrow or next weekend.
