Description

Caps Lock

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

Num Lock

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 doing a lot of numeric data entry. A better solution would
be to connect an external keypad.

down arrow keys are pressed 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 key caps. To simplify the keyboard
legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on the keys. (Table 1-8)

This utility is a hardware configuration program built into a computer’s BIOS (Basic
Input/Output System).
The utility is pre-configured and optimized so most users do not need to run it. If configuration
problems occur, the setup utility may need to be run. Refer to Troubleshooting when a problem
arises.
To activate the utility, press F2 during POST (power-on self-test) when prompted at the bottom
of screen.
The default parameter of F12 Boot Menu is set to Disabled. To change the boot device
without entering BIOS Setup Utility, set the parameter to Enabled.
To change the boot device without entering the BIOS SETUP, press F12 during POST to enter
the multi-boot menu.

The DMI (Desktop Management Interface) Tool copies BIOS information to EEPROM
(Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). Used in the DMI pool for hardware
management.
When the BIOS shows Verifying DMI pool data, it is checking that the table correlates
with installed hardware components before sending information to the operating system
(Windows, etc.).
To update the DMI Pool, perform the following:
1. Boot to DOS.
2. At the prompt, enter dmitools with one of the following arguments:
/r

==> Read dmi information from memory

/wm

2-20

==> Write Manufacturer Name to EEPROM (max. 16 characters)

/wp

==> Write Product Name to EEPROM (max. 20 characters)

/ws

==> Write Serial Number to EEPROM (max. 22 characters)

/wu

==> Write UUID to EEPROM (ignore string)

/wa

==> Write Asset Tag to EEPROM (max. 32 characters)

This chapter contains information about troubleshooting common problems associated with
the notebook.

General Information

0

The following procedures are a guide for troubleshooting computer problems. The step by
step procedures are designed to be performed as described.

NOTE:

NOTE:

The diagnostic tests are intended for Acer products only. Non-Acer products, prototype
cards, or modified options can give false errors and invalid system responses.
1. Obtain as much detailed information as possible about the problem.
2. If possible, verify the symptoms by re-creating the failure through diagnostic tests or
repeating the operation that led to the problem.
3. Use Table 4-1 with the verified symptom to determine the solution.

the screen), the LCD is faulty and should be replaced. (Refer to Maintenance
Flowchart)

NOTE:

NOTE:

Make sure that the computer is not running on battery alone as this may reduce display
brightness.
2. Adjust the brightness to its highest level. Refer to the User Manual for instructions on
adjusting the settings. If the display is too dim at the highest brightness setting, the LCD is
faulty and should be replaced. (Refer to Maintenance Flowchart)
3. Check the display resolution is correctly configured:
Minimize

or close all Windows.

If

display size is only abnormal in an application, check the view settings and
control/mouse wheel zoom feature in the application.

If

desktop display resolution is not normal, right-click on the desktop and select
Personalize Display Settings.

Click

and drag the Resolution slider to the desired resolution.

Click

Apply and check the display. Readjust if necessary.

4. Roll back the video driver to the previous version if updated.

Troubleshooting

2. Run a complete virus scan using up to date software to confirm the computer is virus free.
3. If the computer is experiencing HDD or ODD BIOS information loss, disconnect and
reconnect the power and data cables between devices.
4. If the BIOS settings are still lost, replace the cables.
5. If HDD information is missing from the BIOS, the drive may be defective and should be
replaced.
6. Replace the Motherboard.
7. If the Issue is still not resolved, refer to Online Support Information.

External Mouse Failure

Intermittent Problems

0

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 problem, perform the following:
1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least 10 times.
2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU.
3. If an error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more
errors.

Undetermined Problems

0

The diagnostic problems does not identify which adapter or device failed, which installed
devices are incorrect, whether a short circuit is suspected, or whether the system is
inoperative.
Perform the following procedures to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate non-defective FRU).

NOTE:

NOTE:

Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer.

NOTE:

NOTE:

Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly.
(Refer to Power On Issues).
1. Remove power from the computer.
2. Visually check them for damage. If any problems are found, replace the FRU.
3. 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
PC

Cards

4. Apply power to the computer.
5. Determine if the problem has changed.
6. If the problem does not recur, connect the removed devices one at a time until failing FRU
is found.
7. If the problem remains, replace the following FRUs one at a time. Do not replace a
non-defective FRU:
System
LCD

Clearing Password Check and BIOS Recovery

0

This section provides users with the standard operating procedures of clearing password and
BIOS recovery for the Aspire AS5333/AS5733/AS5733Z. The machine provides one
Hardware Open Gap on main board for clearing password check, and one Hotkey for enabling
BIOS Recovery.

Clearing Password
NOTE:

0

NOTE:

The following procedure is only for clearing BIOS Password (Supervisor Password and
User Password).

Clearing BIOS Password

0

If a BIOS password (Supervisor Password and/or User Password) is set, the BIOS will prompt
for the password at system POST or upon entering the BIOS setup menu. Clear the password
check with the following procedure:
1. Remove AC adapter.
2. Locate the RTC_RST point (A) (Figure 5-3).

A

Description
Clear CMOS Jumper

4. Plug in AC adapter.
5. Press Power button until BIOS POST is finished.
6. Remove conductivity tool from RCT_RST point.
7. Restart the system and press F2 to enter BIOS Utility Setup menu.
8. If no password prompt is shown, BIOS password is cleared.
9. If password prompt is shown, repeat steps 1 through 7.

BIOS Recovery by Crisis Disk

0

BIOS Recovery Boot Block

0

BIOS Recovery Boot Block is a special block of BIOS. It is used to boot up the system with
minimum BIOS initialization. Users can enable this feature to restore the BIOS firmware if a
previous BIOS flashing process has failed.

BIOS Recovery Hotkey

0

To enable the BIOS Recovery process, use the function hotkey, Fn + Esc, during BIOS
POST. The AC adapter and battery are required to be installed during this process.

Steps for BIOS Recovery using USB HDD
NOTE:

0

NOTE:

Prior to performing the recovery, prepare a Crisis USB key. The Crisis USB key is
created by executing the Crisis Disk program in another system with Windows® 7 OS.
To Create a Crisis USB key, perform the following:
1. Format USB HDD using the Quick Format option (Figure 5-5).

Figure 5-5.

Format HDD

5-7
