General Information 0
This service guide provides all technical information relating to the basic configuration
for Acer’s global product offering. To better fit local market requirements and enhance
product competitiveness, the regional office may have decided to extend the
functionality of a machine (such as add-on cards, modems, or extra memory capabilities).
These localized features are not covered in this generic service guide. In such cases,
contact the regional offices or the responsible personnel/channel to provide further
technical details.
When ordering FRU parts: Check the most up-to-date information available on the
Website. If, for whatever reason, a part number change is made, it may not be noted in
this printed service guide.
Acer-authorized Service Providers: The Acer office may have a different part number
