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 built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This means the cursor
responds as you move your finger on the surface of the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest
provides optimum comfort and support.
Touchpad Basics
The following items teach you how to use the touchpad:
T

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 that turning on and off the lamp at rate of 150Hz. The effective
brightness is a function of the duty cycle.
Features
1. Wide range 9V to 21V input voltage.
2. Birghtness adjustment by PWM duty mode.
3. Close loop controls lamp current.

NOTE:
*1. The inverter can work in 7.5V input voltage (continuous), but 7.5V electronic characteristic will
not be care.
*2. Limited lamp maximum current by DAC_BRIC signal:
When DAC_BRIG voltage is 0V and INV_PWM enables (100%), lamp has max. current.
When DAC_BRIG voltage is 3.3V and INV_PWM enables (100%), lamp has min. current.
When add 1V DAC, the 100% Lamp current will decrease 0.5mA.
Ω
DAC_BRIG signal comes from system chipset with internal resistance of 3K
*3. Inverter operating frequency should be within specification (45~65kHz) at max. and min.
brightness load.
*4. INV_PWM enable implies INV_PWM signal is High level (On duty cycle is 100%). It is a square
wave of 150Hz to adjust backlight brightness that is a function of PWM duty cycle. Backlight
brightness is maximum value under INV_PWM at 100% and brightness is minimum under
INV_PWM at 30%.
*5.The system interface signals belong to 3.3V.
*6. Please make sure open lamp output voltage should be within starting voltage specification.
*7. Inverter should pass human body safety test.
*8. Inverter should be no smoking by any component open/short test.
*9. Transformer voltage stress should not be over 85% under any condition.
(turn on overshoot transient and line transient.)
*10. Audio noise should be less than 36dB at 10cm distance.

NOTE: The diagnostic tests are intended to test this model (TravelMate 290E series). Non-Acer products,
prototype cards, or modified options can give false errors and invalid system responses.
1. Obtain the failed symptoms in as much detail as possible.
2. Verify the symptoms by attempting to re-create the failure by running the diagnostic test or by repeating
the same operation.
3. If any problem occurs, you can perform visual inspection before you fellow this chapter’s instructions. You
can check the following:
power cords are properly connected and secured;
there are no obvious shorts or opens;
there are no obviously burned or heated components;
all components appear normal.
4. After you perform visual inspection you can also verify the following:
ask the user if a password is registered and, if it is, ask him or her to enter the password.
verify with the customer that Wndows XP is installed on the hard disk. Operating systems that
were not preinstalled by Acer can cause malfunction.
make sure all optional equipment is removed from the computer.
make sure the floppy disk is empty.
5. Use the following table with the verified symptom to determine which page to go to.

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+ pto 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.

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.

Intermittent Problems
Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a
hardware defect, such as: cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement
should be considered only when a recurring problem exists.
When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:
1. Run the diagnostic test for several times to isolate the problem.
2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU.
3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors.
If an error is detected by the main battery test, see “Check the Power Adapter” on page 64
If an error is detected by the display test, see “Index of Symptom-to-FRU Error Message” on page 69 .
If an error is detected by the floppy disk drive test, see “External Diskette Drive Check” on page 62.
If an error is detected by the keyboard test, see “Keyboard or Auxiliary Input Device Check” on page 63.
