Hi all, My new Aspire (well, fairly new) doesn't 'see' the DVD/CD Player. I have uninstalled software drivers and XP has reloaded them on reboot. It tells me that it is now recognised, but when I put a DVD in, nothing happens, and WMP tells me there is no disc present. I can't see a way to...

Got the above laptop and it's just developed a problem with the screen/display - there's a 65mm column at the right-hand side of the display that's gone dark. Applications open up properly and you can see the whole width of the app, but it doesn't go the whole width of the screen - sort of full...

Hello from France. The machine was bought in Nov. 2007, so there is no warranty left to think about. Now, as soon as October 2008, it started to shut down on its own--really shut down, with no warning, in the middle of whatever. The first time I contacted the after-sales service, but they...

My girlfriend's Acer Ferrari laptop was picked up two weeks ago today by courier for "repair" while still under warranty. The only fault was that the lettering was wearing off several of the keys. This was explained to Acer when she phoned to report the problem. The laptop has not been returned...

Yep.. That night I got a bit rough while closing the LCD lid on my travelmate 800LCI(15"). Adivice: be gentle with it because I didnt even close it that hard (I closed a few heinekens as well, though..) Anyways, I took the LCD appart, and found out that the right arm holding the screen (I m...

I bought one and intentionally deleted all the partitions. I was going to restore it to factory defaults but the restore disk doesn't format and partition the drive. Does anyone have one that is stock and can tell me the name of the restore partition? The regular partition is ACER and there was...

Hello. An acqaintance bought a few acer laptops (along with some acer computer) but neglected to make a backup of the software that is pre- installed on the HD (or actually it is installed from the HD when you start the computer for the first time). Now he installed norton ghost 9 and it seems...

All the visible indications would lead me to ask "How do I get the Bluetooth to work?". But after doing a search of this newsgroup I now see that I really need to ask."Does my notebook contain bluetooth hardware?" Because if it doesn't I might be a long time in trying to get it...

Hi, folks! The other day I picked up a new laptop. I have no programs that are compatible with Vista so I downgraded it to XP. I'm still hunting for all the drivers ... but that's not my question! I have noticed with utilities like CPU-Z that the CPU clock is not throttled down when it...

Basic question is Should I consider an Acer laptop as a viable alternative or would I be inheriting a bunch of poor design/quality problems? Any insight you could provide would be appreciated....

I have a new laptop - an ACER 5810TZ-4274 - but I cannot turn off the wireless. Every other laptop had a switch, but I cannot find one in the documentation. Since I use Ethernet at home, I don't want wireless competing unless this causes no negative effects. TIA, Paul
