Acer :: Timeline 4810TG Windows 7 Battery Capacity Dropped
Nov 7, 2009I did a clean install of Windows 7 ultimate 64bit a few days ago.
All is fine except one major issue; My battery capacity dropped to half of that in Vista. I am now lucky to get over 3.5 hours. In Vista I had an average of 6-7 hours.
What could be the cause of this? I have updated all drivers and empowering software. I also installed the Vista version of the Optical Drive Power Management just to see if that was the cause.
Anyone else experiencing poor battery times in W7? Is 64bit known for reducing battery times?

Acer :: Travelmate Timeline Vs Aspire Timeline
Mar 29, 2010One is marketed as business-grade, another is consumer-grade. Both look very similar and I am not sure if the materials used are any different. So tell me, as I am preparing to buy my next laptop.

Jun 17, 2009this thread is for all Acer Timeline owners who suffer from 100% CPU load, when only thing that helps is restart.
1. If you are a Timeline owner - having this problem or not, please do report here, what model you own and tell us how is this happening for you.
2. Please inform Acer about this, so they know and can offer a solution (especially if you're from United States as this will have greater impact rather than me telling this stuff to Slovak Acer service)
Alright, this is what I got so far about this thing:
-CPU will just go nuts at no specific time (idle, browsing, ...)
-Proccess explorer shows 'Hardware Interrupts' as source of 99.9% of CPU power
-unlogging won't help, only restart does
-updating BIOS doesn't help
-uninstalling acer epower managment doesn't help, even though it seems making these episodes less frequent somehow
Mine notebook is:

Acer :: Timeline
Sep 1, 2009I'm looking for a Timeline with:
Core 2 Duo Processor
the ATI Graphics Card (not integrated intel)
and a DVD Writer/Player
As to screen size I don't really care which it is, 13-14-15...I suppose I'd prefer 15, but any will do as long as the above specs are met.
I've read reviews that state the timeline series offers these specs but I can't find anywhere that sells a Timeline with them in it.
Acer :: Second IDE In Timeline 1810T
Mar 7, 2010I actually have a Gateway EC1815U and heard it is identical to the acer 1810t.
In the Gateway bios (insyde) I see an option for a device on IDE1. IDE0 is used for the internal hard drive.
I am wondering if there is either
1- a way to expose the 2nd IDE externally to use like a eSATA device with it
or
2 - Be able to install a 2nd IDE device like a SSD to use that interface
I'm wondering out loud and checking here to see if anyone can offer some advice.
Acer :: Timeline With The Intel X25-m SSD, Which OS
Aug 9, 2009Im receiving my 3810t-6775 this week.. the one with the su9400 and the intel x25 80Gb ssd, im wondering which os will perform better? XP or 7?
Which are the pros/cons/tips to make it run better?
I never had an ssd before (well.. the 2gb from the eee700 a while ago but it doesnt count for me )
Acer :: Timeline 4810T Fan Always On
Sep 16, 2009My 4810T has the fan always on (not too loud, but on nevertheless...). I can't tell if it's because of the CPU (intel SU9400) or the GPU (intel gma 4500mhd).
Is there any option where I can control this? I'm on Ubuntu and I'm using the "CPU frequency scaling monitor" applet to throttle the CPU, but even in it's lowest frequency, the fan never shuts down.
Acer :: Timeline XP Driver
Aug 13, 2009I am thinking to add XP to my TL.
I kinda tried drivers from acer.com but some did not work.
Anybody successfully installed XP on thier TL?
Acer :: Can't Boot My Timeline
Jul 19, 2009I had installed Windows 7 and it was working fine but it blue screened and now it won't start. Fine, I decided I'd just reinstall it but if I put my flash drive in it will just stick at the Acer Empowering People splash screen and won't move for a while and then just goes to a screen about something being not connected and then it'll boot to the normal start Windows Recovery (Which doesn't work) and start Windows normally. If you try to start it normally it'll either stay on the Windows animation starting or get to login and then i'll input my password but it goes to Blue Screen.
I formatted the flash drive using this guide [url]
I've tried having USB FDD and USB HDD as the first boot option and still nothing.
Acer :: Timeline 3810T
Nov 15, 2009I was looking at the Acer Timeline 3810t and I am thinking about purchasing it because the battery life is great and so is the performance. Yet, the one thing I found that may hold me from purchasing is the stiff mousepad buttons brought up in many reviews. I was wondering if anyone who has this laptop has experience with the touchpad buttons. Are the really stiff that it would annoy someone who uses their laptop on the go without an external mouse?

Sep 27, 2009I uninstalled all the extra software that this laptop came with. One problem i am having is every SECOND start up, the computers loads very slow. The next time i turn on the laptop it will load really fast and all the icons and stuff will pop up right away. Then the next time it will be slow again, windows load then only the wallpaper visible, the icons on desktop and the start bar is not there for about 2 mins.
I tried to restart and i noticed it is always on the second start up.
Also i tried to format my laptop with XP on a usb stick. When i get to the set up, it can not detected the harddrive but only the usb stick.
Acer :: Timeline SU2700 Vs. SU3500
Jul 10, 2009I'm looking at getting the Timeline 4810t with either the SU2700 or SU3500. Can anyone tell me any discernible differences I'll find between the two? Right now I'm looking at about an $80 difference between the two (also 1gb more ram with the SU3500).
Also, fyi this laptop will be for law school so it won't be very task intensive besides internet research, word processing, onenote etc.
Acer :: Timeline 4810 Beeping
Aug 28, 2009computer beeps everytime the adapter gets taken out and plugged in. I tried lowering the volume, turning the sound scheme to no sound. But the beeping still happens.
View 6 Replies View RelatedAcer :: First Impressions Of The Timeline 4810T
Aug 9, 2009I've previously had good experiences with HP until their past few models which have been a nightmare for a long, long list of reasons. But this post isn't about HP it's about Acer. This is my first Acer product and I've had a very positive response to the quality of their design but a very poor experience with the quality of manufacturing.
The unit I purchased is the Acer Aspire Timeline 4810T (1.4Ghz, 4gb, 14", 320GB WD) from Staples (US retailer) for the bargain price of 544.98 USD.
The most attractive aspects of the 4810T includes:
* The battery (wow!)
* The excellent, bright LED screen
* Fantastic keyboard (the fn key is to the right of ctrl, perfect!)
* Synaptics touchpad (the best)
* Super quiet fan even when playing games and doing heavy processing
* Decent speakers (dolby) with great sound through headphones
* USB ports on both sides
Some of the less attractive aspects include:
* Keyboard audio functions seem to rely upon software instead of hardware and can fail during heavy processing or if the OS hangs
* As a single piece of platic instead of separate buttons. The touchpad button only works on the edges with the center being "dead"
* No dock
* No expansion slot
* The speakers beep loudly when power is connected/disconnected if the speakers are on (annoying)
* The wireless light blinks during activity instead of just being on or off (annoying)
* The screen hugs the keyboard too closely creating key-shaped oil deposits on the screen (not uncommon but undesirable and a source for damage if something hard like a grain of sand is on the keyboard)
Acer :: Timeline 4810T Wireless
Aug 7, 2009I have a 4810T (SU3500) and the wireless connection is giving me some issues. After a suspend or restart the wireless connection does not reconnect properly. Sometimes the icon says I'm connected but there is no data transfer. I have to disconnect/reconnect or turn off/turn on the wireless via the touch sensitive button. Once I do that the wireless connection is rock solid.
I'm using the newest Intel drivers and Bios version 1.23
Acer :: SU4100 Vs Su7300 In Timeline

Acer :: Upgrading Your Timeline To Windows
Oct 21, 2009how are folks preparing to upgrade their Acer Timeline to Windows 7? Are you assembling the drivers on Acer's website, or are you content to rely, at least initially, on Windows 7 drivers? For folks who will be upgrading to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, what are you doing about the fact that there seem to be very few drivers and applications currently on Acer's support website?
I keep telling myself that Acer is going to release something, anything, in the next few days giving customers at least some guidance and help on how to get their Timelines fully compatible with Windows 7, but those are probably pipe dreams. So... as folks upgrade to Windows 7 over the coming weeks, it might be helpful to post experiences--good and, in particular, bad--for the benefit of the community.
Acer :: Which SSD In The Timeline 3810T-6775
Sep 4, 2009Owners of the Acer Timeline 3810T-6775:
What model SSD is in your Acer Timeline 3810T-6775?
Is it the 1st or 2nd generation of the Intel X25-M?
Please note when and where you purchased your Timeline.
reference: [url]
The second-gen X25-M's extensive under-the-hood changes are capped by a new skin. Gone is the black exterior of the old drive; in its place is a bare metal casing that's gone unpainted in an attempt to further reduce costs. A black metal shim has been added to bring the drive up to a standard 9.5-mm thickness, though.
It's a good thing that there's a color contrast between the old and new models, because Intel intends to produce both as its customers make the transition to the new hotness. One may also differentiate between generations based on their model numbers: The old ones end in G1, while the new ones are tagged as G2.
Acer :: Is The Timeline 4810T Due For A Refresh
Mar 3, 2010I'm debating getting one but if it's due for a refresh soon I'll wait...
View 6 Replies View RelatedAcer :: Thinking About A Timeline 1810
Nov 25, 2009I had originally planned to get an HP Mini 311, but the Timeline 1810 seems like I'd be getting much more for the money, even with weaker video capabilities. The problem is I'm having incredible difficulty finding any reviews or user feedback on the 1810.
How is the video playback on the 1810? Can it do HD flash with or without v10.1? Likewise, I'm not really a PC gamer at all, but I do enjoy playing Civ 4 once in a while - think it could run on an 1810?
What's bootup/shutdown time for Windows 7?
How is it in terms of noise and heat?
How's the keyboard? That's another big complaint I had with the Mini, the keyboard feels very cheap and breakable.
What is Acer customer support like? Are they easy to get answers from? Are they willing to fix things, or is it an argument even under warranty?
lastly: where's the best place to get a Timeline? It doesn't look like Acer sells them directly.
Acer :: Recall Of Some Of The Timeline Range
Oct 10, 2009There looks to be an official recall of some of the timeline range. I was just about to buy one of these so im kind of annoyed.
I rang around a few retailers and acer, i wrote my findings on this blog [url]
I thought i should let people know this because if you own one of these you should get it checked out.
A statement from Acer (according to comet UK) confirms a new "refreshed" model with an updated microphone wire (the cause of the problem).
Acer :: Timeline 8371 Vs 3810t
Sep 5, 2009Anybody have any comparisons? Acer's new 8000 series 8371 bus. timeline.
Thinking I'll wait for the 8000 series because it has a 2 button mouse buttons and ati graphics.
Acer :: Timeline 5810TG Sleep
Jul 4, 2009issue:
My specs:
Notebook: Acer 5810TG, 15.6"
BIOS: 1.12
OS: Vista Home Premium 32bits
CPU: SU9400
GPU: ATi HD4330 512MB GDDR3 + Intel 4500HD
RAM: 4GB DDR3 @ 1066
HDD: 320GB HDD @ 5400RPM
My issue:
Every time the laptop tries to go into sleep mode, either automatically or manually, it reboots and the "Windows Error Recovery" screen pops-up telling me that the system was improperly shut down.
Even Shutting Down the laptop gets me this error.
Hibernate and Restart seem to work normally though...
Also, the screen sometimes goes blank when booting in Vista, though I presume this is related to the way it switches between the 2 GPUs.
I didn't install any extra apps... just what it came with.
I am a power-user, so feel free to go technical.
Acer :: Broadcom HD Accelerator On Timeline

It says it's for Dell but if it fits a regular mini pci-e slot you guys think it would work? For $35 I am extremely tempted to pull the trigger.
Acer :: Brightness - With Timeline 4810TZ
May 14, 2010When I unplug (go to battery power), the green battery-light-led goes on and overrides the brightness-settings I do with Windows 7. This means whenever I plug-in or plug-out the brigthness gets reset to some value that Acer thinks is 'right' for me. I would like to decide myself what is right for me, but can't find out how.
What makes it worse is that at first it works like:
Unplugged: 30% brightness
Plugged-in: 40% brightness
Which is reasonable. However, after pluggin-in/out a few times, it goes all screwy. For example: unplugged becomes 50%, plugged-in becomes 10%, or some other seemingly random non-sense-making values. So, I would like to get rid of this.
Pressing the green led when it's on makes it go off and seems to give brightness-control back to windows-settings. However, as soon as pluggin-in and plugging-out again, the green led comes on again. Argh.
I read some other threads about similar issues, but people would always have Acer ePower Management or something installed. I do not. This happens on a fresh clean install of Windows 7. Bios is up-to-date. Happens in every power mode (saver/balanced/performance).................
Acer :: 1410 11.9 Timeline 8 Gig Mem Support
Dec 20, 2009I keep hearing 4 gig support, but Sis soft Sandra tells me my 1410 supports 8 gigs of memory.
I dont know if anyone has commented on this, and just dont have time to comb through the pages on the two 1410/1810 threads.
Acer :: Overclocking 5810 Timeline
Sep 6, 2009I'm a student who's looking for a laptop to use for only note taking, web browsing, and other low power programs. The most I might use out of a laptop is multi tabbed browsing (I already have a desktop replacement for gaming). Anyway, I saw the laptop Acer 5810 Aspire Timline today at Sam's Club for a cheap $497 (Seems like other places including internet sites sell them for $520 to $590). All the specs were pretty nice and the battery life looked great! The only thing that really let me down was the processor. It uses and SU intel processor, meaning it's a meant for low volt usage. In addition, it runs at a measly 1.3ghz! Do you think I can overclock it to atleast 1.6 - 18?

Feb 9, 2010I have a 5810TZG basically it has an INTEL 4500MHD and a ATI HD4330 , I did a search and found only 2 other TZG results.
I bought a 5810T with only the INTEL 4500MHD , but returned it for a more powerful gpu.
So what does the Z in TZG mean.
What other versions are there.
Also the switchable graphics only work with the Acer drivers, I have tried v9.12 and above and get a blank screen unless i select dedicated ati only in the bios.
So it looks like we are stuck with catalyst v8.65 if i want switchable graphics or are we?
