My mom has an Acer 532h 450N netbook and she complains that its slow. I go and take a look at it, disabled most of the junk that came pre-loaded with window 7 starter and installed the latest bios. CPU at 100% for youtube 360p, can't even smoothly scroll through PDFs. I restart it in safe mode which runs at 20 processes and cpu usage is constanly at 35-40% during idle state. I myself never owned an atom based netbook, are they this slow?
View 5 RepliesI have two Acer netbooks and they both run much slower when running on battery, particularly when browsing the internet. I've changed the power settings to "Always On" and "Home/Office" and it helps, but it's still not as good as when plugged in. Does anyone have any suggestions on anything else I can do? Also, does "Always On" or "Home/Office" provide faster performance when on battery power?

My brother gave me his old external hard drive, it's a Maxtor Shared Storage Drive capacity is 300GB.

I love my Acer but want to back it up and restore it to factory settings. I've been using it for over 2 years so it's full of stuff by now and I'd like to start fresh.

Good enough for gamers?
Let's hear your opinion on this...
I bought an acer ZA3. The only changes I made were I removed Mccafee recplaced with AVG and installed Firefox. The problem is is locks up when my grandaughter (who I bought it for) uses the built in games (cake time or something like that) or plays some web based dress up game. Even CTRL ALT DEL would not bring up the task manager. Did I just get a bad one or should I consider a different one?

I boot it up and once it runs from start up to end it is only a minute and then it dies. i have taken the batery out and replaced it and changed power problems and nothing still does it. even in BIOS it dies in a minute even after running on power cord. very strange. Is it part of the MOBO thats the issue?

When I got my Acer netbook I had no way of burning a recovery disc for it. I have an external drive now, but the eRecovery utility won't let me burn a recovery disc any more.
View 5 Replies View Related5 years ago I purchased an Acer One ZG8 Netbook. Â I have gotten alot of use although now I am facing a crash with Windows XP not loading. Â I wanted to do a factory reset and see if there is any hope to keep this older Acer as a back up netbook. Â After powering up the Acer One,,,Windows XP will not load. Â I am faced with a black screen offering options:
1.Safe Mode
2. Safe Mode with Networking
3. Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Or Last known good configuration (your most recent settings that worked). Lastly, Start Windows Normally
Finally, it prompts me to use the down arrow keys to choose with a 30 second countdown ticker.
I HAVE tried all the options for weeks and weeks. Â Just as Window XP loads a blue screen with word flash so quickly I can not possibly read it. Â I am very very close to letting this older version Acer meet its maker --- although through my ignorance I have realized just maybe I could do some sort of factory reset.
I saw an Acer ZG5 Aspire One 8.9" netbook with Solid State Drive 8GB.
Does this type of netbook offer a slot to put in a regular Hard Drive?
Overclock or Underclock
-Download SetFSB
-Choose SLG8SP513v pll
-Click get FSB
-To underclock, select 100mhz (1.2ghz)
-To overclock, select 166mhz (2.0ghz)
Note: This only works if you have SLG8SP513v pll clock generator. If you have ICS9LPRS365. According to the acer aspire one service manual, these 2 clock generators are used. Acer might have also added some pll clock generator to the list, so it might not work for newer acer aspire one.
Undervolt Intel Atom processor
-Download CrystalCPUID
-Lock multiplier by either disabiling speedstep or enable speedstep to restricted the processor to 6x multipler (1.6ghz).
-Lower or increase the processor voltage
Overclock Intel GMA 950 graphic card
-download gmabooster
I currently have two Acer laptops, an Aspire 5630 laptop and an Aspire One Netbook. The power adapter for the 5630 is a bit bigger (i.e., the "black box in the middle of the power cord) than the one for the netbook. The adapter for the netbook won't charge the 5630, however, when I plug in the adapter for the 5630 into the netbook, it says "charging" and seems to be charging the netbook fine. My question is whether this could do any damage to netbook or the netbook battery.

After changing from XP to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS I found the netbook a tad slow. It has the original configuration with ½ GB fixed ram plus ½ GB removeable. I tried to insert a 2 GB DDR2 1.8V but the machine would not boot. What is the max GB I can use?
View 8 Replies View Relatedi bought my wife a netbook, as she specifically requested, thing is, on 3cell 3hrs are great, but it has begun to "tear" a lot in WINXP.....
background services...etc have been seen to
so i check out CPUID and lavalys.....both showing Proc working along at 800mhz....i have tried to change power profile in XP ..... and tried making a new one, but there is no way to reduce that tearing effect...... it feels a bit sluggish to me, i am going to add a 2G module (accepts Elipda 2G module from my HP DV5T) so some RAM along those lines is wha i am aiming for......
how to stop/ allow the laptop to clock on OS load....cuz the 800mhz on the netbook is unacceptable.
I have an ao725-0687 netbook with windows 8.1 (from the factory).  I wish to access UEFI (Bios).  The method at [URL] {Accessing the UEFI (BIOS) setup on a Windows 8 / 8.1 system} does not work on my machine.  My machine does NOT show the "UEFI Firmware Settings" button on the relevant page (but it DOES show the other 5 buttons shown in the video to be on that page).  How can I access UEFI on this machine?

Â
There is an option under Control Panel -> Appearance to "Connect to a Projector". That brings up a display "Computer Only", "Duplicate" or "Projector Only". If I select Duplicate I see "1|2 Multiple Monitors" in my Screen Resolution selection. But if I hit Identify it shows "1|2" both on my netbook LCD display.
Â
After playing with this for a while I now can't even get the built-in display to work when I attache the VGA cable to my TV. That causes the LCD display to go black. I've played with toggling the display using the F5 key (also tried 6, though the icon on the F5 key seems to be the one I want). That doesn't work.
Â
There's a different way to display the Display Devices settings - by right-clicking on the desktop area and selecting Graphics Properties. That brings up a different window which shows Operating Mode and Display Selection. I've been able to get that to indicate a Multiple Monitor choice under Operating Mode and appear to allow me to choose what to display in the "Primary Device" and the "Secondary Device", but the pull-down choices for both of these only show Notebook.
The color display appears to be corrupted. 2/3 of the screen is perfect, one third is a band of white with a few thin lines of black and what appears to be black feather at the bottom. This happended my screen got stuck and I took the battery out to shut down the computer. I've already done a recovery. No improvement.Â
View 2 Replies View RelatedI bought a new battery for my Aspire-One (AOA110) netbook. Â I flashed the BIOS according to instructions and, after waiting for a day while the netbook was telling me that the battery was being charged, the netbook told me that the battery was 100% charged. Â I disconnected the charging cable and, immediately, the netbook told me that I had to reconnect it because the netbook was out of power. Â The battery charge had immediately dropped from 100% to 0%!
I have repeated the same operation several times, with identical results. Is the new battery defective? Â Or should I do something else?Â
I already tried the general fix for this offered by a few folks on Youtube and other sites, where you remove the battery and then uninstall the battery/power drivers in Device Manager. Â Then turn off, put the battery back in and start up again, letting the drivers re-install afresh. Â But this did not solve the problem for me.
Â
Acer forums do not list this battery charging issue for the AO725 model, but they do mention it for a couple of other models of netbooks, saying that the battery will not charge once it reaches a state of complete depletion. Â They instruct to update the BIOS.
Anyone who has compare the two?
Similiar price, similiar specs, similiar 3 pound weight, similiar form factor, same 11.6" screen, except for CPU and graphics.
I've got an Acer Aspire One 11.6" netbook, which I had to purchase in an emergency to replace a failing laptop two days before travel. It's great, except it's a bit too slow. I managed to make it perform miracles such as smooth YouTube playback and 100% stutterfree AVCHD video file playback (from my Panasonic camera), but I need to use heavyweight apps now, plus a little lightweight video editing (just trimming clips) and much faster copying and synchronization of big files between computers over Ethernet (gigabit) and faster USB performance. And possibly, occasional Blu-Ray quality playback, which both alternatives can do.
So.... I'm looking for a full-performance laptop in the same form factor, and it has boiled down to the Acer Timeline 1810T (SU7300 Core2 Duo version and Intel GMA4500), and the Acer Ferrari One (with the AMD Turion64 X2 and Radeon HD3200). Some love/hate the Ferrari branding, but I don't really care about the Ferrari branding, however red is my favourite color, and is the color of my ao751h anyway.
Which CPU and graphics perform better than the other?
I would bet the 1810T with the Core2 Duo would have better CPU scores, while the Ferrari One would have the better graphics score (being a Radeon HD3200).
I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook SNID 20206697434 with Windows 7. I bought the recovery disks because eRecovery stalls at Office 2010 but the disks do exactly the same thing - I can only open in Safe Mode. I've tried many times with the same result. Even though I bought the disks, Acer Customer Service won't let me talk to a tech because my net book is not unwarranty - mfg date is 1/14/2012.

View 8 Replies View RelatedThe netbook was plugged in and I closed the lid and then after about 30 minutes I went to use my laptop, but when I opened the lid I had a "no bootable drive" message (or something like that). No matter what I did it kept beeping and would not come out of that state. I ended up just holding the power button down and restarting and it booted up fine.
