Machine Disassembly and Replacement

General Information

This chapter contains step-by-step procedures on how to disassemble the notebook for maintenance and troubleshooting. To disassemble the computer, you need the tools below: Wrist ground strap and conductive mat for preventing electrostatic discharge Small Philips screw driver Flat head screw driver Hexagonal driver Tweezers
NOTE: The screws for the different components vary in size. During the disassembly process, group the screws with the corresponding components to avoid mismatch when putting back the components. When you remove the stripe cover, please be careful not to scrape the cover.

Before You Begin

Before proceeding with the disassembly procedure, you have to make sure that:
The system and all peripherals are powered off. The AC adaptor and all power and signal cables from the system are unplugged.
3. The battery pack is removed. NOTE: There are several types of screws used to secure the main unit. The screws vary in length. Please refer to the screws table after the flowchart. Group the same type of screws together during service disassembling. Please also remember the screw location for each screw type. If you fasten the screws on the wrong location, the long screws may cause irrecoverable damage to the main board.
Disassembly Procedure Flowchart
The flowchart gives you a graphic representation on the entire disassembly and reassembly and instructs you how to remove the components.

pin 1: +19V to +20.5V pin 2: 0V, ground
If the voltage is not correct, replace the power adaptor. 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. 4.
If the power-on indicator does not light up, check the power cord of the power adaptor for continuity and correct installation. 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.
Check the Power Management in Control Panel. Then confirm that the parameters shown in the screen for Current Power Source and Total Battery Power Remaining are correct. Repeat the step 1 and step 2 for both battery and adaptor. Power off the system. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between terminals one (+) and seven (-). There are seven terminals totally. See the illustration below.
From hardware, this helps to identify whether you should replace the battery pack or not.
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. 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 non-defective FRU.

1. 2. 79

After rebooting, run Tracking Pad PS2 Mode Driver. For example, run Syn touch driver. Run utility with the PS/2 mouse function and check if the mouse is working.

3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

If the PS/2 mouse does not work, then click if the main board to switch board FPC is connected properly. If the main board to switch board FPC is connected correctly, then check if the FFC on the touch pad PCB is connected properly. If the FFC on the touch pad PCB is connected correctly, check if LS851 JP1 Pin6 = 5V are pules. If yes, then replace switch board. If not, then go to the next step. Replace the touch pad PCB. 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 will occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the touchpad pointer. This symptom is not a hardware problem. No actions are necessary to be taken if the pointer movement stops in a short period of time.

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 problems, follow the procedures below:
Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least 10 times. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU. If any error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors.

Undetermined Problems

The diagnostic problems does not identify which devices fail, which devices are incorrectly installed, whether a short circuit happens, or whether the system is inoperative.
NOTE: Verify if all devices attached are supported by the computer. NOTE: Verify if the power supply used at the time of failure is operating correctly. You can refer to Power System Check.
Follow the procedures below to isolate the failing FRU. Do not isolate non-defective FRU.
Power off the computer. Visually check the devices. If any problems are found, replace the FRU. 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. 5. 6. 7.

Power on the computer. Determine if the problem has been resolved. If the problem does not recur, reconnect the removed devices one at a time until you find the failed FRU. If the problem remains, replace the following FRU one at a time. Do not replace a non-defective FRU. System board LCD assembly
