Note: Keep your fingers, as well as the surface of the touchpad dry and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to your finger movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping hard will not increase the touchpads responsiveness. Note: By default, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled on your touch pad. It can be disabled under Mouse settings in Windows Control Panel.
Using Acer FineTouch Keyboard
The full-sized keyboard includes an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock, Windows, function and special keys.
Lock Keys and Embedded Numeric Keypad
The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.
Lock Key Lock key Caps Lock Num Lock <Fn> + <F11>
When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters are typed in uppercase. When Num Lock is on, the right hand side numeric keypad is in numeric mode. The keys function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). When Num Lock is off, the keys assume cursor <Fn> + <F11> and other shortcut functions. When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press the up or down arrow keys respectively. scroll Lock does not work with some applications.
Scroll Lock <Fn> + <F12>
The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters <Fn> + <F12> located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on the keys. Desired access Number keys on embedded keypad Cursor-control keys on embedded keypad Num Lock on Type numbers in a normal manner. Hold <Shift> while using cursorcontrol keys.

The system supports three levels of password protection. The password support consists of a Supervisor Password, User Password, and Hard Disk Password. All the passwords are stored in a non-volatile storage device (EEPROM). All the passwords obeys the following rules: Password Policy All the passwords can be set or cleared in BIOS Setup Security screen. The password entry consists of eight alphanumeric characters. At least one character must be assigned. The valid keys are listed in the table below:

Do the following procedures to isolate the possible effects from a controller, driver, or CD-ROM. Note: Make sure that the CD-ROM does not have any label attached. The label may cause damage to the drive or make the drive fail. 1. Boot from the diagnostic diskette and start the diagnostic programs. 2. See if CD-ROM test is passed when the programs run the CD-ROM test. 3. Follow the instructions in the message window. If errors occur, reconnect the connector on the system board. If the errors still remain: 1. Reconnect the external CD-ROM drive. 2. Replace the external CD-ROM drive. 3. Replace the main board.
Keyboard or Auxiliary Input Device Check
Remove the external keyboard if the internal keyboard is under test. If the internal keyboard does not work or an unexpected error appears, make sure that the flexible cable extending from the internal keyboard is correctly connected on the system board. If the keyboard is correctly connected, run the Keyboard test. If errors occur, do the following procedures in sequence to correct the problems. Do not replace a non-defective FRU. 1. Reconnect the keyboard cable. 2. Replace the keyboard. 3. Replace the main board. The following auxiliary input devices are supported by this computer. Numeric keypad External keyboard
If any of these devices do not function, reconnect the cable and repeat the anterior procedures.

Memory Check

Follow the procedures below to correct the memory errors. 1. Boot from the diagnostic diskette and start the diagnostic programs. 76 Chapter 4
2. Go to the diagnostic memory in the test items. 3. Press F2 in the test items. 4. Follow the instructions in the message window. Note: Make sure that the DIMM is correctly inserted into the connector. A wrong connection will cause errors.

Power System Check

To verify the symptoms, power on the computer by using the following power sources separately. 1. Remove the battery pack. 2. Connect the power adaptor and check the power supply. 3. Disconnect the power adaptor and install the battery pack, then check the power supply. If you think there is a power supply problem, please go to Check the Power Adaptor and Check the Battery Pack in this chapter.

Check the Power Adaptor

Unplug the power adaptor cable from the computer and measure the output voltage at the plug of the power adaptor cable. See the illustration and follow the procedures below.
pin 1: +19V to +20.5V pin 2: 0V, ground
1. If the voltage is not correct, replace the power adaptor. 2. If the voltage is within the range: (1) Replace the system board. (2) If the problem is still not resolved, see Undetermined Problems. (3) If the voltage is not correct, go to the next step. Note: An audible noise from the power adaptor does not always indicate a defect. 3. If the power-on indicator does not light up, check the power cord of the power adaptor for continuity and correct installation. 4. If the operational charge does not work, see Check the Battery Pack.

Check the Battery Pack

Follow the procedures below to check the battery pack. From software, this helps to identify the problem is on recharging or discharging. 1. Check the Power Management in Control Panel. 2. Then confirm that the parameters shown in the screen for Current Power Source and Total Battery Power Remaining are correct. 3. Repeat the step 1 and step 2 for both battery and adaptor. From hardware, this helps to identify whether you should replace the battery pack or not. 1. Power off the system. 2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between terminals one (+) and seven (-). There are seven terminals totally. See the illustration below. 3. If the voltage is still less than 7.5V after recharging, replace the battery. If the battery status indicator does not light up, remove the battery pack. After the battery pack returns to room temperature, reinstall it to the system. Chapter 4 77
If the charge indicator does not light up, replace the battery pack. If the charge indicator still does not light up, replace the AC / DC charger board.

Touchpad Check

If the touchpad does not work, follow the procedures one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a nondefective FRU. 1. Reconnect the touchpad cables. 2. Replace the touchpad. 3. Replace the system board. After you use the touchpad, the pointer drifts on the screen for a short time. This self-acting pointer movement will occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the touchpad pointer. This symptom is not a hardware problem.
Power-On Self-Test (POST) Error Message
The POST error message index lists the error message and their possible causes. Note: Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the sequence shown in Error Message List, if the FRU replacement does not solve the problem, put the original part back in the computer. Do not replace a nondefective FRU. The error messages are listed in the coming pages to indicate the BIOS signals on the screen and the error symptoms classified by functions. If the symptom is not included on the list, please refer to Undetermined Problems. Note: Most of the error messages occur during POST. Some of them show information about a hardware device, for example, the size of memory installed. Others may indicate problems with a device, such as the way it has been configured. Note: If the system fails after you make changes in the BIOS Setup Utility menus, please reset the computer. Enter Setup and install Setup defaults to correct the errors.
