Lock key Description

Caps Lock When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.
Num Lock When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys
<Fn> + <F11> function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /).
Use this mode when doing a lot of numeric data entry. A better solution would
be to connect an external keypad.
Scroll Lock When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when the up or
<Fn> + <F12> down arrow keys are pressed respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with
some applications.
The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by
small characters located on the upper right corner of the key caps. To simplify the keyboard
legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on the keys. (Table 1-8)

System Power Management
Item Specification
Mech. Off (G3) Mechanical OFF (MOFF): System context not maintained. All
power is shut off except for the RTC. No "Wake" events are
possible. This state occurs if the user removes the main
system batteries in a mobile system, turns off a mechanical
switch, or if the system power supply is at a level that is
insufficient to power the "waking" logic.
Soft Off (G2/S5) Soft Off (SOFF): System context is not maintained. All power is
shut off except for the logic required to restart. A full boot is
required when waking.
Working (G0/S0) Full On: Processor operating. Individual devices may be shut
down or be placed into lower power states to save power.
Suspend to RAM (S3) Suspend-To-RAM (STR): The system context is maintained in
system DRAM, but power is shut off to non-critical circuits.
Memory is retained and refreshes continue. All external clocks
stop except RTC.
Save to Disk (S4) Suspend-To-Disk (STD): The context of the system is
maintained on the disk. All power is then shut off to the system
except for the logic required to resume.

System Utilities
BIOS Setup Utility 0
This utility is a hardware configuration program built into a computer’s BIOS (Basic
Input/Output System).
The utility is pre-configured and optimized so most users do not need to run it. If configuration
problems occur, the setup utility may need to be run. Refer to Troubleshooting when a problem
arises.
To activate the utility, press F2 during POST (power-on self-test) when prompted at the bottom
of screen.
The default parameter of F12 Boot Menu is set to Disabled. To change the boot device
without entering BIOS Setup Utility, set the parameter to Enabled.
To change the boot device without entering the BIOS SETUP, press F12 during POST to enter
the multi-boot menu.
Navigating the BIOS Utility 0
Five menu options are:

Information
Main
Security
Boot
Exit
To navigate through the following:

Menu - use the left and right arrow keys
Item - use the up and down arrow keys
Change parameter value - press F5 or F6.
Exit - Press Esc
Load default settings - press F9. Press F10 to save changes and exit BIOS Setup

digit from 1 to 4.
D:\BOOTSEQ>bs
*** Boot Sequence Selector Version 0.03 ***
Created by Rockwell Chuang 10/01/2005.
Usage:
BS [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 ]
BS 1: [Floppy] => [HardDisk] => [CD-ROM] => [LAN]
BS 2: [HardDisk] => [CD-ROM] => [LAN] => [Floppy]
BS 3: [CD-ROM] => [HardDisk] => [LAN] => [Floppy]
BS 4: [LAN] => [Floppy] => [HardDisk] => [CD-ROM]
D:\BOOTSEQ>

Example: bs <2>, selects the boot sequence of HDD | CD ROM | LAN | Floppy.

Using Boot Manager 0
The Boot Manager allows the boot order to be changed without accessing the BIOS Setup
Utility. To use the Boot Manager, perform the following:
NOTE: NOTE:
The F12 Boot Menu option must be set to Enabled in the BIOS Setup Utility’s Main
screen. (refer to Main)
To use the Boot Manager, perform the following steps:

Using DMITools 0
The DMI (Desktop Management Interface) Tool copies BIOS information to EEPROM
(Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). Used in the DMI pool for hardware
management.
When the BIOS shows Verifying DMI pool data, it is checking that the table correlates
with installed hardware components before sending information to the operating system
(Windows, etc.).
To update the DMI Tool, perform the following:
1. Boot to DOS.
2. At the prompt, enter dmitools with one of the following arguments:
/r ==> Read dmi information from memory
/wm ==> Write Manufacturer Name to EEPROM (max. 16 characters)
/wp ==> Write Product Name to EEPROM (max. 20 characters)
/ws ==> Write Serial Number to EEPROM (max. 22 characters)
/wu ==> Write UUID to EEPROM (ignore string)
/wa ==> Write Asset Tag to EEPROM (max. 32 characters)
The following examples show the commands and the corresponding output information:

Troubleshooting
Introduction 0
This chapter contains information about troubleshooting common problems associated with
the notebook.
The following procedures are a guide for troubleshooting computer problems. The step by
step procedures are designed to be performed as described.
NOTE: NOTE:
The diagnostic tests are intended for Acer products only. Non-Acer products, prototype
cards, or modified options can give false errors and invalid system responses.
1. Obtain as much detailed information as possible about the problem.
2. If possible, verify the symptoms by re-creating the failure through diagnostic tests or
repeating the operation that led to the problem.
3. Use Table 4-1 with the verified symptom to determine the solution.

Intermittent Problems 0
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, perform the following:
1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least 10 times.
2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU.
3. If an error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more
errors.
Undetermined Problems 0
The diagnostic problems does not identify which adapter or device failed, which installed
devices are incorrect, whether a short circuit is suspected, or whether the system is
inoperative.
Perform the following procedures to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate non-defective FRU).
NOTE: NOTE:
Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer.
NOTE: NOTE:
Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly.
(Refer to Power On Issues).
1. Remove power from the computer.
2. Visually check them for damage. If any problems are found, replace the FRU.
3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:
Non-Acer devices
Printer, mouse, and other external devices
Battery pack
Hard disk drive
DIMM
CD-ROM/Diskette drive Module

PC Cards
4. Apply power to the computer.
5. Determine if the problem has changed.
6. If the problem does not recur, connect the removed devices one at a time until failing FRU
is found.
7. If the problem remains, replace the following FRUs one at a time. Do not replace a
non-defective FRU:
System board
LCD assembly
