Using the Keyboard 0
Figure 1-7. Keyboard Lock Keys
The keyboard has three lock keys which can be toggled on and off. (Table 1-7)
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)
Table 1-7. Keyboard Lock Keys
Lock key Description
Caps Lock When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.
Num Lock
<Fn> + <F11>
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.
Scroll Lock
<Fn> + <F12> When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when the up or
down arrow keys are pressed respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with
some applications.

Introduction 0
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.
4. If the Issue is still not resolved, refer to Online Support Information.

4-14 Troubleshooting
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 drive Module
-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 board
-LCD assembly
