TouchPad Basics

The following items show you how to use the TouchPad:

• Move your finger across the TouchPad (1) to move the cursor.

• Press the left (2) and right (3) buttons located beneath the TouchPad to perform selection and

execution functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse.
Tapping on the TouchPad is the same as clicking the left button.

Tap twice (at the same speed
as double-clicking a mouse
button); rest your finger on
the TouchPad on the second
tap and drag the cursor.

Click once.

NOTE: When using the T ouchPad, keep it - and your fingers - dry and clean. The TouchPad is sensitive to

finger movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will not
increase the To uchPad’s responsiveness.

Using the Keyboard

Your Aspire one has a close-to-full-sized keyboard and an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock,
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 Description

Caps Lock When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.
Num Lock

<Fn> + <F11>

Scroll Lock <Fn> +
<F12>

When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys
function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). Use
this mode when you need to do a lot of numeric data entry. A better solution
would be to connect an external keypad.

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.

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters
located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols
are not printed on the keys.

Machine Disassembly and Replacement

This chapter contains step-by-step procedures on how to disassemble the notebook computer for
maintenance and troubleshooting.

Disassembly Requirements

To disassemble the computer, you need the following tools:

• Wrist grounding strap and conductive mat for preventing electrostatic discharge

• Flat screwdriver

• Philips screwdriver

• Plastic flat screwdriver

• Plastic 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.

Related Information

The product previews seen in the disassembly procedures may not represent the final product color or
configuration.

Chapter 3

IMPORTANT:Cable paths and positioning may not represent the actual model. During the removal and
replacement of components, ensure all available cable channels and clips are used and that the cables are
replaced in the same position.

Chapter 3 39

General Information

Pre-disassembly Instructions

Before proceeding with the disassembly procedure, make sure that you do the following:

1. Turn off the power to the system and all peripherals.

2. Unplug the AC adapter and all power and signal cables from the system.

3. Place the system on a flat, stable surface.

4. Remove the battery pack.

Disassembly Process

The disassembly process is divided into the following sections:

• External components disassembly

• Main unit disassembly

• LCD module disassembly

The flowcharts provided in the succeeding disassembly sections illustrate the entire disassembly sequence.
Observe the order of the sequence to avoid damage to any of the hardware components. For example, if you
want to remove the Mainboard, you must first remove the Keyboard, and LCD Module then disassemble the
inside assembly frame in that order.
