in this generic service guide. In such cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible
personnel/channel to provide you with further technical details.
2. Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the most up-to-date information
available on your regional web or channel. If, for whatever reason, a part number change is made, it will
not be noted in the printed Service Guide. For ACER-AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your Acer
office may have a DIFFERENT part number code to those given in the FRU list of this printed Service
Guide. You MUST use the list provided by your regional Acer office to order FRU parts for repair and
service of customer machines.

Touchpad
The build-in touchpad is a PS/2 compatible pointing device that senses movement on its surface.
The cursor responds to your finger movements on the touchpad. In addition, the two click buttons provide
the same functionality as a computer mouse, while the scroll key enables easy up and down scrolling in
documents and web pages.
The touchpad is located in the middle of the palm rest area, providing maximum comfort and efficiency.
Touchpad Basics
Use the touchpad as follows:

There are two control signals that come form system to control lamp brightness. One signal is
named DAC_BRIG, which limits current to meet LCD lamp current specification. Another one is
named PWM, which adjusts lamp brightness. This inverter brightness is adjusted by PWM burst
mode. The PWM burst mode is to turn on and off the lamp at rate of 150Hz. The effective
brightness is varied with the duty cycle.

To verify the symptom of the problem, power on the computer using each of the following power sources:
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Connect the power adapter and check that power is supplied.
3. Disconnect the power adapter and install the charged battery pack; then check that power is supplied by
the battery pack.
If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate power supply check in the following list:

Check the Power Adapter
Unplug the power adapter cable from the computer and measure the output voltage at the plug of the power
adapter cable. See the following figure
Pin 1: 19V
Pin 2: 0V, Ground
1. If the voltage is not correct, replace the power adapter.
2. If the voltage is within the range, do the following:

T
Replace the main board.
If the problem is not corrected, see “Undetermined Problems”.
If the voltage is not correct, go to the next step.
NOTE: An audible noise from the power adapter does not always indicate a defect.
3. If the DC-IN indicator does not light up, check the power cord of the power adapter for correct continuity
and installation.
4. If the operational charge does not work, see “Check the Power Adapter” .

Check the Battery Pack
To check the battery pack, do the following:
From Software:
1. Check out the Power Options in control Panel
2. In Power Meter, confirm that if the parameters shown in the screen for Current Power Source and Total
Battery Power Remaining are correct.
3. Repeat the steps 1 and 2, for both battery and adapter.
4. This helps you identify first the problem is on recharging or discharging.
From Hardware:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery terminals 1(+) and 6(ground).
3. If the voltage is still less than 7.5 Vdc after recharging, replace the battery.
4. If the voltage is within the normal range, run the diagnostic program.
To check the battery charge operation, use a discharged battery pack or a battery pack that has less than 50%
of the total power remaining when installed in the computer.
If the battery status indicator does not light up, remove the battery pack and let it return to room temperature.
Re-install the battery pack.
If the charge indicator still does not emit, replace the battery pack. If the charge indicator still does not light up,
replace the DC/DC charger board.
Touchpad Check
If the touchpad doesn’t work, do the following actions one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a
non-defective FRU:
1. After rebooting, run Touch pad/PS2 Mode Driver.
2. Run utility with the PS/2 mouse function and check if the mouse is working.
3. If the PS/2 mouse does not work, then check if the main board to switch board FPC is connected well.
4. If the main board to switch board FPC is connected well, then check if the touch pad FPC connects to the
main board properly.
5. If there is still an error after you have connected the touch pad FPC to the main board properly, then
replace the touch pad or touch pad FPC. The touch pad or touch pad FPC may be damaged.
6. Replace switch board.
7. If the touch pad still does not work, then replace the FPC on Track Pad PCB.
After you use the touchpad, the pointer drifts on the screen for a short time. This self-acting pointer movement
can occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the touchpad pointer. This symptom is not a hardware
problem. No service actions are necessary if the pointer movement stops in a short period of time.
Display Check
1. Connect an external display to the computer’s external monitor port, the boot the computer. The computer
can automatically detect the external display. Press Fn+ p to switch to the external display.
2. If the external display works fine, the internal LCD may be damaged. Then perform the following steps:
Make sure the DDRRAM module is seated properly. Then run the diplay test again. If the problem
still exists, go to next step.
Replace the inverter board, then run the display test program again. If the problem still occurs, go
on next step.
Replace the LCD module with a new one then run the display test again. If the probelm still
happens, continue next step.
Replace LCD/FL cable with a new one then execute the display diagnostic again. If the problem

still occurs, continue next step.
Replace the CPU with another of the same specifications. If the problems still occurs, go to next
step.
The main board may be damaged. Replace main board.
3. If the external monitor has the same problem as the internal monitor, the main board may be damaged.
Please insert the diagnostic disk and run the display test program and go through the sub-steps under
step 2.
Sound Check
To determine if the computer’s built-in speakers are functioning properly, perform the following steps. Before
you start the steps below, adjust the speaker volume to an appropriate level.
1. Try different audio sources. For example, employ audio CD and ditital music file to determine whether the
fault is in the speaker system or not. If not all sources have sound problem, the problem is in the source
devices. If all have the same problem, continue next step.
2. Connect a set of earphone or external speakers. If these devices work fine, go to next step. If not, then the
main board may be defective or damaged. Replace the main board.
3. Follow the disassembling steps in Chapter 3. Esure the speaker cable is firmly connected to the main
board. If the speaker is still a malfunction, go on next step.
4. If the speakers do not sound properly, the speakers may be defective or damaged. Replace the speakers.
If the problem still occurs, then replace the main board.

PhoenixBIOS POST Tasks and Beep Codes
When you turn on the PC, the BIOS first performs a number of tasks, called the Power-On-Self-Test (POST).
These tasks test and initialize the hardware and then boot the Operating System from the hard disk.
At the beginning of each POST task, the BIOS outputs the test-point error code I/O port 80h. Programmers
and technicians use this code during troubleshooting to establish at what point the system failed and what
routine was being performed. Some mainboards are equipped with a seven-segment LED display that
displays the current vaule of port 80h. For production boards which do not contain the LED display, you can
purchase an installable “Port 80h” card that performs the same function. If the BIOS detects a terminal error
condition, it issues a terminal-error beep code (See following), attemps to display the error code on upper
left conrner of the screen and on the port 80h LED display, and halts POST. It attempts repeatedly to write
the error to the screen.
If the system hangs before the BIOS can process the error, the value displayed at the port 80h is the last
test performed, In this case, the screen does not display the error code.

Terminal POST Errors
There are several POST routines that require success to finish POST. If they fail, they issue a POST
Terminal Error and shut down the system. Before shutting down the system, the error handler issues
a beep code signifying the test point error, writes the error to port 80h, attempts to initialize the video,
and writes the error in the upper left corner of the screen (using both mono and color adapters).
The routine derives the beep code from the test point error as follows:
1. The 8-bit error code is broken down to four 2-bit groups.
2. Each group is made one -based ( 1 through 4) by adding 1.
3. Short beeps are generated for the number in each group.
Example:
Testpoint 16h=00 01 01 10=1-2-2-3 beeps

POST Task Routines
The following is a list of the Test Point codes written to port 80h at the start of each routine, the beep codes
issued for terminal errors, and a description of the POST routine. Unless otherwise noted, these codes are
valid for PhoenixBIOS.
NOTE: The following routines are sorted by their test point numbers assigned in the BIOS code. Their actual
oder as executed during POST can be quite different.
