My Question:
My Laptop is an Acer Extensa 2600 (same mainboard as Aspire 3610 and Travelmate 2410).
Chipset: i915GMS/i910GML
I was pinmodding it so the pentium m 735 (1,7ghz) is running on 2,26ghz now...
everything works fine, but my rams are still running on 400mhz (200)... they support 533, 667, 800 mhz... i don't understand this!
i thought it have to run on 533mhz (266)... as fast as the fsb...
i'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.
I have a Acer Aspire 3610 and it works really well. (after turning the video card up in the bios). anyway, i wish to overclock it to get around 1.8 to 2 GHZ out of the cpu. unfortuntly this means more heat, im wanting to replace the fan with something faster. but after a fustraiting battle, i cant find out how to open it. i removed all the screws and pried the edges open but it wont budge. it would be awesome if someone could give me a step by step way to open it. some pictures would be cool too.

epm
The specified module could not be found.
I have uninstalled the program, deleted the driver and re-installed the program but to no avail.
I can right-click the ePowerManagement icon in the task bar and change cpu speed and Brightness but I can not launch the utility.
I am running Windows XP Home on an Aspire 3610.
Has anyone ever experienced this error and resolved it?
I want the upgrade the process, either with or with out the pin mod, but i dont know what processor (Like the best processor) i can use, i see in many websites that the socket 479 mPGA can be upgraded to a duo-core, but i dont know if my laptop can be upgraded to a duo-core,....I think it could, because its the 479 mPGA and there are duo-core that fit the socket and runs on 533 MHz,
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have purchased a DVD Writer to replace the DVD-ROM the laptop came with. With some of my old laptops, these drives were held by one screw or a spring loaded lock, but this does not seem to be the case with the Acer.
which screws in which order need to be taken out to replace the drive?
what I'm looking for in terms of purchasing a new hard drive for this machine?
i.e. does it need to be a specific Acer hard drive for this model, or a compatible one, or can it be any hard drive of the right size?
Intel says the T3200 is a pentium dual core. Pcwizard says the cpu is a c2d T5750. So does that mean the T3200 is a renamed c2d with some cache disabled? And why doesn't the American Acer site have the 5735z in the support section? I know its a bottom barrel item but at least show some support. I noticed the 4630 has the same specs except for the screen size. Can the Bios and driver intertwine?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am upgrading my TM 292 (1400x1050, Pentium M 1,5 GHz, Ati Mobility Radeon 9700 - 64MB VRAM) with an Intel Pentium M 2,0 GHz (755).
When I start the notebook, with a mounted 2 GHz CPU, it starts for a few seconds, then the first two LEDs flash and everything goes off.
My BIOS is 1.40 (you can only get 1.30b from the Acer homepage).
Has anyone a Travelmate 290 with a Pentium M 755?
I noticed that there are Compal CL56 (structurally identical to TM 290 series) with 2.0GHz. Can I use their BIOS?
in plain English, with no mention of pinmods etc, what can go in this?
The sticker on the ram has two references:
554E1010015430136EKS00
MBA74010015430136EKS00
And the manufacture date seems to be late 05.
I'm not massively worried about a major speed increase, more a cooler running less battery killing CPU. From reading on here it seems a 725A should work, but what about a 725? i can't seem to find any differences between the two other than model number!
Stripping the whole thing to change the CPU isn't a prospect that thrills me, so I want to be sure I'm fitting something that works, and as I'm tight I want to be buying as cheap as possible - Seems there's a few s/h 725 CPUs kicking around cheaper than 725A's at the moment
I did a pin mod about 2 weeks ago and now I'm looking at my cpu speed today and I notice it's going from 600Mhz to 1.7GHz as if there was no pinmod? Could my wire have been too small and it's not making contact anymore?

I just have one question: will the following processor work?

Does anyone know if a pinmod exists to force a 667MHz FSB CPU to run at 800MHz? The chipset supports both 667/800MHz FSB CPUs so I would think it's possible.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSince she only uses it for office, mail, web browsing and some music with Media player or iTunes, I know the integrated Intel GMA4300 will suffice.
However, I'm not sure about the processor. There are three options, a celeron dual core (which is really low-end, so out of the question), a 2.1 Ghz pentium dual-core (T4300) with 1Mb of cache and a 2.2 ghz core2duo (T6600) with 2Mb of Cache. They all have 4Gb of RAM.
Both the pentium dual core and the core2duo come with Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) so I expect even the dual core can't be that ancient as far as architecture is concerned .....
Does Inspiron N5010 support the i5-480M processor? I've found this thread but I don't see it in the supported CPUs list.
Currently I'm running on a Pentium P6100 and I'm thinking of upgrading to i5 480m. Is this upgrade worth it?
Finally I want to ask if the existing cooling system is sufficient for an i5 480m because I don't want my laptop to suffer from overheating issues.
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).
Specs:
Extensa 5235-902G16Mn

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:

And this about chipset (GL40), look at information about only CPU's Celeron

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.
