In such cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible personnel/channel to provide you with further technical details.

2. Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the most up-to-date information

available on your regional web or channel. If, for whatever reason, a part number change is made, it will not be noted in the printed Service Guide. For ACER-AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your Acer office may have a DIFFERENT part number code to those given in the FRU list of this printed Service Guide. You MUST use the list provided by your regional Acer office to order FRU parts for repair and service of customer machines.

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.

Function Left Button (2) Right Button (4) Main touchpad (1)

Execute Quickly click twice. Tap twice (at the same speed

as double-clicking a mouse button).

Select Click once. Tap once.

Drag Click and hold, then use

finger on the touchpad to drag the cursor.

Access context menu

Click once.

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.

NOTE: When using the touchpad, 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 touchpad’s responsiveness.

Using the Keyboard

The keyboard has full-sized keys and 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 Description

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

Num Lock

Scroll Lock <Fn> + <F12>

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.

Desired access Num Lock on Num Lock off

Number keys on embedded keypad

Cursor-control keys on embedded keypad

Main keyboard keys Hold <Fn> while typing letters on

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.

Type numbers in a normal manner.

BIOS Flash Utility

The BIOS flash memory update is required for the following conditions:

• New versions of system programs

• New features or options

• Restore a BIOS when it becomes corrupted.

Use the Flash16 utility to update the system BIOS flash ROM.

NOTE: Do not install memory-related drivers (XMS, EMS, DPMI) when you use the Flash16 Utility. NOTE: Please use the AC adaptor power supply when you run the flashit utility. If the battery pack does not

contain enough power to finish the BIOS flash, you may not boot the system because the BIOS is not completely loaded.

Using the Flash16 Utility to Update the BIOS

Follow the steps below to run the Flash16 Utility.

1. Prepare a bootable diskette.

2. Copy the flash utilities to the bootable diskette.

3. Boot the system from the bootable diskette.

4. Run Phlash16.exe z06_3106.wph /mode=3 /x. After flashing the BIOS the system will restart.

5. During POST, press F2 to enter into the BIOS setup screen.

6. Navigate to the Exit page, choose Load Setup Defaults then press ENTER.

7. When a Setup Confirmation appears, choose 'Yes’. The system will restart with the BIOS settings

included in the utility.

Remove HDD/BIOS Password Utilities

To reset a hard drive or BIOS password you require an additional PC. The utilities run on a DOS prompt on the second machine.

This section provides instructions on how to remove a HDD password. If you enter the wrong hard drive password three times, the system reports the following error code:

To reset the HDD password, run HDD_PW.EXE on a second machine as follows:

1. At a command prompt, type hdd_pw 15494 0

2. Type 2.

3. Write down one of the two strings (in this example, OKJFN42 or UVEIQ96).

4. Reboot the system and type the selected string (in this example OKJFN42 or UVEIQ96) for the HDD user

password.

Miscellaneous Utilities

Using Boot Sequence Selector

Boot Sequence Selector allows the boot order to be changed without accessing the BIOS. To use Boot Sequence Selector, perform the following steps:

1. Enter into DOS.

2. Execute BS.exe to display the usage screen.

3. Select the desired boot sequence by entering the corresponding sequence, for example, enter BS2 to

change the boot sequence to HDD|CD ROM|LAN|Floppy.

Using DMITools

The DMI (Desktop Management Interface) Tool copies BIOS information to eeprom to be used in the DMI pool for hardware management.

When the BIOS displays Verifying DMI pool data it is checking the table correlates with the hardware before

sending to the operating system (Windows, etc.).

To update the DMI Pool, perform the following steps:

1. Op[en a command prompt.

2. Execute dmitools.exe. The following messages show dmitools usage:

IMPORTANT:The following write examples (2 to 5) require a system reboot to take effect

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.

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 39

Page 50

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 stages:

• External module 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 main board, you must first remove the keyboard, then disassemble the inside assembly frame in that order.
