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 :: AS1810T Keyboard Layout

Oct 22, 2009

I was considering getting Acer AS1810T-8638. However, I looked up keyboard layout, some pictures show back-slash () not above enter key, but next to left shift key. (left shift key's length is shortened by half)

Some other pictures show it at where it should be (above enter key).

Since I use back-slash a lot, I need it to be at the right place.

Can anyone who bought this model tell me where is key is located on models being shipped currently?

Sony :: Japanese Keyboard Layout In Win7 EN

Nov 21, 2009

Recently I have upgraded to Win7Pro x64 EN on my Z90US, everything work like a charm except for the keyboard.

I got Japanese keyboard and even though I have installed the Japanese keyboard and IME in Win7, the layout doesn't match.

The Japanese specific keys don't work (e.g. kanji switch) and also the Shift+key is different. E.g. when I want to write &, than ^ comes out.

Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520 :: Keyboard Mapping - Match Entries With Keypad Layout

Mar 13, 2013

How to make my keyboard entries match the keypad layout? I have tried several English keyboard layouts available from the installed files but none of them exactly match my layout. For instance one layout (English International) require a space after every " or ' before the character will appear. I can understand this as it allows for certain special characters related to other languages. If I change to plain English then the key comes out as #. I have downloaded Microsoft's keyboard mapping application but it does not seem to work in Win8. I don't get any layout diagrams when I load a keyboard file. I am pretty sure it is the layout file because an external keyboard gives the exact same characters as the Dell factory installed kbd. I know there is commercial mapping software available but I don't want to buy it and find it won't work just as Microsoft's doesn't.

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)

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 :: 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.

HP/Compaq :: HP Mini Keyboard Versus Acer Aspire One Keyboard

Feb 24, 2009

I currently have an AA1 and am curious to those who tried typing on both the HP Mini and the AA1 keyboards and noticed a difference. I believe the HP's keyboard is 92% and the AA1's is 89% I believe. It feels "okay" to type on, obviously not the best due to its size compared to a normal keyboard, but am wondering if the HP's is worth the price jump (paid 300 for mine).

Acer :: I Think Arcade Instanton Messed Up My Drive

Oct 1, 2008

i turn on my computer again and it goes to acer arcade instanton. i exit it and then when vista boots up it tells me to chkdsk. im suspicious but i skip it... when i login it tells me that my user profile is messed and thata bunch of stuff is corrupt. i then do chkdsk and luckily it manages to repair it and i still have my files. however all of my settings and user accounts are gone... also a lot of things dont feel right.

i think after backing up i might do a reinstall. just to confirm, if i use the recovery dvd, D:/ will not be touched right? (D:/ is where my files will be saved)

Acer :: Aspire One Touchpad Use With Keyboard

Jul 22, 2009

My Acer Aspire One, which I love, does one thing that drives me NUTS! The touchpad, mainly noticed in games (FPS are the most detectable), doesn't respond while pressing keys... IE, I press "W" to run forward, and the touchpad doesn't work simultaniously... I can run, or look around, but not both at the same time... why is that? No other touchpad in a laptop I've ever used had the limitaion? And, when using an external mouse, the mouse works great, meaning I can move around pressing keys on the keyboard all while looking around. It just gets annoying having to stop, look around, then move, stop, look around, move, etc.

Is this a driver problem or a hardware problem? Even the EEE Pc that I use to have didn't do this, so why the new Acer? Curious, and no idea how to fix it.... Maybe it's even a setting somewhere I'm unaware of...
