Acer :: Aspire 5720 Dissassembly

Jul 26, 2009

I've an Aspire 5720-602G16Mi which has no installed bluetooth module, but has the button fitted in the keyboard (comes up with "NO BLUETOOTH DEVICE"). I've seen all the threads on this and obtained the correct module (and driver if required) and know where on the motherboard to fit it - near the front of the laptop - probably socket BT1, so here's the problem!

I can't get the bottom off the case to access the right spot! :-(

I've taken out the battery, removed the 2 access plates - (I know how to remove the keyboard and the hard drive if neccessary) -BUT even when I've then taken out ALL of the visible screws I can't get the bottom of the case off.

AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

I realise there are "clips" all round the base but I also know that it's a fragile plastic so I don't want to force anything.

A step by step guide or a link to an existing one would be useful ( there may be one here but I can't find it)

Dell Inspiron 5720 :: Needs To Start Twice At Every Boot

Oct 23, 2014

I have a Dell 5720 and in the summer, its motherboard and keyboard got replaced due to short circuit problems. Since then, every time I press the Power button, the laptop starts to load correctly but suddenly turns off during the boot process. If I press the Power button on a second time, the laptop loads perfectly.

I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed and the booting process reaches the grub where I can select in which one I want to boot. I can even select something from the list, but then the laptop turns off (not because I select something, but I think because I have a few seconds before it shuts down). If I turn it on again, everything is fine. I can select anything from the grub's boot list and it won't turn off. It boots into any desired OS and works like there's no problem

I've just run hardware diagnostics and all tests passed.One of my friend said that it has a driver problem because the motherboard got replaced and this is why it's shuts down the first boot.

Another observation: if I do this 'twice turn-on' boot and use my laptop for a while and I turn it off and I turn it on again in a short time after the turn off, it boot correctly.

Acer :: How To Change OS [Win Vista To Win XP] On Aspire 5720

Nov 11, 2008

I have Acer Aspire 5720 and originally Win Visa is installed on it.

The problem is that I don't like Win Vista at all and I want to change it to Win XP.

But most of the drivers I found online are ONLY for Win Vista so I'm not sure if those drivers will work correctly on Win XP.

Acer :: Aspire 5720 No Longer Receiving Power

Sep 29, 2009

whether the AC power adaptor itself should show an LED light on while it is plugged into the power (and not just when it is charging/connected to the laptop too)?

My Dad has come over here on holiday with an Acer Aspire 5720 Model ICL50. It had been working fine, however this morning we started getting the low battery warning sound, despite the power cable being plugged in. We have taken plugs in and out, taken the battery out etc, but the laptop will show no sign of receiving more power via the adaptor.

I figure its either one of two things - either the adaptor has died, or there is an issue with the power connector in the back of the laptop itself, perhaps it got knocked and damaged internally or something.

Acer :: Aspire 5720- Keyboard Layout Messed Up

Apr 16, 2010

I restored my Acer Aspire 5720 laptop using the factory restore DVD . I used to be able to press Fn+MJKLUIO78, or Fn+9 to type the numbers 012345678, or 9 while holding the Fn key.

After I finished restore the laptop to the factory image, the Fn+M...9 keys didn't work anymore.

Instead of mapping the keys to 0..9, it mapped the keys to Home, Up, PgUp, Left, Right, End, Down, and PgDn.

So for example, if I press Fn+L, instead of "3", it gave me "PgDn". It was giving me "3" before I restored the factory image.

So recap, I used to be able to hold Fn and I could type the "blue" letters printed on the keyboard.

I don't think this is Vista problem because I boot the laptop to DOS, the keyboard mapping is the same.

I think when I press Alt-F10 to run the recovery, I must have pressed some other hidden key sequence to switch the keyboard profile by accident.

Acer :: 9600m GT Installed On Aspire 5720 But Driver = No Install

Apr 11, 2010

I have the 9600m GT out of a 8930g installed in my Aspire 5720 laptop but every nvidia driver that I try to install says that the hardware is not compatible with the driver or some crap.

Am I out of luck with this card or is there a way to force install a driver...or is there a better driver to install?

I've tried the latest 197.16, 186.03 drivers from nvidia. Even from laptopvideo2go...no dice.

Acer :: Recover Office 2007 Trial Only, From Factory Backup

Apr 22, 2009

Can I recover MS Office Home & Student 2007 Trial Edition from the factory backup I did when I get the laptop, but without recovering anything else?

This is an Aspire 4530 running Vista.

The trial version expired and I wanted to uninstall it and install my own copy of Office 2003. But if course it would not uninstall - probably because I wasn't the real "Administrator" at the time. I followed the MS guide for forceably uninstalling and deleting the product, but that failed also.

The only recourse seems to be to re-install it from the 3 factory backup DVDs that I made when I got the laptop. But I have a feeling that all I can do is recover (overwrite) the C drive from the recovery DVDs - either all or nothing. Is that correct?

Acer :: Aspire 7520 Will Not Start Or Then Will Not Shut Off

Oct 10, 2009

My Acer Aspire 7520 Gemstone Vista,

Will not start but I can hear the fan start then stop after a couple of secs, also the power and hdd leds flash on for 4 secs and then off for 4 secs and keep looping.

But then if I press the on/off button to turn the machine off it will not turn off, even holding the button for 4 secs or more. The only way to turn it off is by disconnecting the battery.

Nothing is connected and nothing appears on the screen.

Acer Aspire R7-572 :: Doesn't Start On Battery

Oct 13, 2014

I just bought a brand new Acer R7-572-6805. When I press power button nothing happens if AC adapter is not plugged in. I would expect laptop to start/boot because the battery inside is brand new and fully charged.
 
Also, I'm worried that nothing happens when I press for 4-10 seconds a battery-reset button  on the bottom of the laptop in a small hole in the middle (I use paperclip).
 
1. Update BIOS to the newest version 2.04. Note: during flashing new BIOS version the orange LED didn't blink but shined!
2. Tightened all screws on a casing.
3. Replaced a charger.
4. Pressed batter-reset button.
5. Pressed power button for more than 10 seconds while AC adapter was plugged in, was not plugged in and when battery was not plugged in too.
4. Reinserted battery many times.
5. Checked voltage of a battery. Two cells showed 3.11V and the other two cells showed 3.81V. I manually charged the first 2 to 3.78 so that all 4 cells have similar voltage. The proper voltage makes me think that the battery is fully charged.
 
Other observations:
1. When AC adapter is plugged in then the orange LED is blinking (it seems to indicate that the battery is low) after approximately 6 seconds from pressing power button, i.e. from start. It doesn't change if I go to BIOS or go on with Windows boot.
2. When battery detached then the orange LED does not shine at all.
3. When AC adapter is plugged in then laptop starts.
4. Windows 8.1 is installed. The first time I used the laptop I plugged AC adapter in, powered on the laptop and went on with the installation.
5. Wall AC outlet provide 230V in my country (in contrast to 110V in US, but it shouldn't matter becuase the charger is capable of working in both systems according to its specification).

Acer Aspire E1-571G :: ERecovery Does Not Start Up After Alt+F10

Dec 29, 2014

My boyfriends computer has "crashed" after he tried some "optimizing" last night.
 
When at the login page, it freezes before it is possible to write the password so access to the computer is not possible. 
 
Has checked F2 at boot and D2D is set to be enabled.
 
When I click Alt+F10 at boot up, it says "wait a minute" where after it loads the windows 8 layout, not the erecovery tool as shown in the video by acer.
 
How can I check in the bios whether the recovery partition is corrupt or what else to do? 
 
No recovery disks has been made.
 
It is an Aspire E1-571G laptop.

Acer Aspire V5-573 :: Does Not Start Or Sometimes Starts For 2 Seconds

Mar 9, 2015

I have a problem with my Acer V5-573, 6 months old.
 
Some days ago it did not start when pressing the start button. I removed the charger and tried again, still nothing. Then i removed the backside to get access to the battery. I removed the battery and tried connecting just the charger.
 
That causes the laptop to start for 2 seconds like normally, the fans start for like 1 second and then just shuts down and the start button wont work again. This happens every time I connect the charger and it's off battery.
 
Sometimes when I press the start button and works and starts like it should and then at a random time it shuts down once again. Mostly it just doesnt react to the start button.
 
I haven't replaced or modified the original hardware.

Acer Aspire M5-481PT :: Will Not Start Up Normally Or Shut Down

Nov 5, 2014

About three months ago I was using my laptop and it was working fine and I closed it and set it aside, not plugged in.  My power settings were that nothing happened other than the screen turns off when I close the lid.  Well the next day I went to use my laptop and i opened it and hit the power button but it was dead, so I plugged it in and pressed the power button and still nothing happened.  The only way I can turn the laptop on is to use the small battery reset button on the back of the computer.  Once it turns on it starts up no problem, nothing out of the ordinary.  When I use it and try to shut it down regardless of whether I press the power button or go to the power button on the menu to shut it down it goes through the shutdown and the monitor shuts off for about 3 seconds and then the computer turns back on. 
 
I have done everything I can think of to get the computer to work.  I have reinstalled windows 8.1 from a disk after completely restoring my laptop.  I opened the computer up and disconnected the battery for a few minutes, I tried to start the laptop in safe mode, I reinstalled the BIOS, I have run all the troubleshooting and run windows update to make sure everything is up to date.

Acer :: Aspire 3050-1150 - Intermittent Start

Apr 29, 2009

I recently upgraded the CPU in my Acer Aspire 3050-1150 to a Turion XL-56. The first bootup was a breeze, and Windows Vista Home Basic recognized the new chip no problem. Temps ended up being cooler than before the upgrade.

Later that day, comp just shut down. I tried to reboot...comp started but shut off a second or two into loading windows. Next boot attempt the on/off switch wouldn't work at all...appeared dead. I waited a few minutes, took out the AC adapter and windows booted. Next time at bootup, similar pattern, but wouldnt boot even with the AC adapter taken out. This time it booted with the battery out and AC in.

Similar pattern at every bootup...false starts, shuts down at various points, but then eventually boots up after several attempts. I have just been leaving it on, in sleep mode when not in use. I am very afraid of doing a windows update which requires a reboot, so I haven't been doing that.

Acer :: Aspire 6935G Bluetooth Does Not Start Automatically

Jan 16, 2009

I have an Acer Aspire 6935G with Windows Vista Home Premium

The problem is that bluetooth does not start automatically after a cold start or restart.

I have too push BT button every time to activate bluetooth on my computer.

According to Acer, I should be able to set BT by the the Empowering Technology software that BT should start automatically.

But there is no setting for this? How can we solve this?

Is there perhaps any other solution? Perhaps in Windows Vista or driver?
