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.

If the internal keyboard does not work or an unexpected character appears, make sure that the flexible cable  
extending from the keyboard is correctly seated in the connector on the main board.  
If the keyboard cable connection is correct, run the Keyboard Test.  
If the tests detect a keyboard problem, do the following one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a  
non-defective FRU:  
1. Reconnect the keyboard cables.  
2. Replace the keyboard.  
3. Replace the main board.  
The following auxiliary input devices are supported by this computer:  
T
T
Embedded Numeric Keypad  
External keyboard  
If any of these devices do not work, reconnect the cable connector and repeat the failing operation.  
Memory Check  
Memory errors might stop system operations, show error messages on the screen, or hang the system.  
Currently, we do not provide memory test program. However, if you need to check memory but have no testing  
“BurnIn Test V.3.0”. You may test the memory with this program under Window XP environment.  
NOTE: Make sure that the DIMM is fully installed into the connector. A loose connection can cause an error.  
Power System Check  
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.

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

T
Replace the main board.  
If the problem is not corrected, see “Undetermined Problems” on page 62.  
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” on page 54.

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.
