Before using this information and the product it supports, please read the following general information.

1. This Service Guide provides you with all technical information relating to the BASIC CONFIGURATION decided for Acer's "global" product offering. To better fit local market requirements and enhance product competitiveness, your regional office MAY have decided to extend the functionality of a machine (e.g. add-on card, modem, or extra memory capability). These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered in this generic service guide. 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.

System Utilities

BIOS Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/ Output System).

Y our computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not need to run this utility . However , if you encounter configuration problems, you may need to run Setup. Please also refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when problem arises.

To activate the BIOS Utility, press F2 during POST (when “Press <F2> to enter Setup” message is prompted on the bottom of screen).

Press <F12> during POST to enter multi-boot menu. In this menu, user can change boot device without entering BIOS SETUP Utility.

Navigating the BIOS Utility

There are six menu options: Information, Main, Advanced, Security, Boot, and Exit. Follow these instructions:

• To choose a menu, use the left and right arrow keys.

• To choose an item, use the up and down arrow keys.

• To change the value of a parameter, press F5 or F6.

• A plus sign (+) indicates the item has sub-items. Press Enter to expand this item.

• Press Esc while you are in any of the menu options to go to the Exit menu.

• In any menu, you can load default settings by pressing F9. You can also press F10 to save any

changes made and exit the BIOS Setup Utility.

NOTE: You can change the value of a parameter if it is enclosed in square brackets. Navigation keys for a

particular menu are shown on the bottom of the screen. Help for parameters are found in the Item Specific Help part of the screen. Read this carefully when making changes to parameter values. Please note that system information is subject to different models.

Machine Disassembly and Replacement

WARNING:This computer has two highly sensitive touchscreen sensors on the top left and right

corners of the LCD. The sensors are an integral part of the LCD and cannot be separately replaced. The sensors are exposed as soon as the rear cover is removed. During disassembly:

• DO NOT make contact with the sensors.

• Raise the LCD off any surface it is placed face down on so that the sensors do not rest on

the surface.

• ALWAYS employ an antistatic mat.

IMPORTANT:The outside housing and color ma y vary from the images that appear in this section.

This chapter contains step-by-step procedures on how to disassemble the 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

• Three (3) sizes of Philips screwdrivers: 7mm, 4mm and 2mm

• Pin or unbent paperclip or similar.

• Block of sponge or similar soft material smaller in surface area than the LCD and at least 1”

(2.5cm) high.

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.

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 an antistatic mat.

The flowchart provided in the succeeding disassembly section illustrates the entire disassembly sequence. Observe the order of the sequence to avoid damage to any of the hardware components.
