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 the equivalent of the left and right buttons on a mouse.
Tapping on the TouchPad is the same as clicking the left button.
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.

Chapter 4 121
Intermittent Problems
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, do 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 any error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors.
Undetermined Problems
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.
Follow these procedures to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate non-defective FRU).
NOTE: Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer.
NOTE: Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly. (See “Power On
Issue” on page 112.):
1. Power-off 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. Power-on the computer.
5. Determine if the problem has changed.
6. If the problem does not recur, reconnect the removed devices one at a time until you find the failing FRU.
7. If the problem remains, replace the following FRU one at a time. Do not replace a non-defective FRU:
• System board
• LCD assembly

BIOS Recovery
BIOS Recovery by Crisis Disk
BIOS Recovery Boot Block
The 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 to the factory settings if a BIOS flash
process fails.
BIOS Recovery Hotkey
The system provides a function hotkey: Fn+Esc, to enable the BIOS Recovery process when a system is
powered on during BIOS POST. To use this function, it is strongly recommended to have the AC adapter and
Battery present. If this function is enabled, the system will force the BIOS to enter a special BIOS block, called
Boot Block.
Steps for BIOS Recovery from USB Storage
Before performing this procedure, prepare a Crisis USB key. The Crisis USB key can be made by executing
the Crisis Disk program in a functioning system with a Windows 7 OS.
IMPORTANT:The Crisis Disk program will overwrite all data on any drive that you use as a crisis disk.
Follow the steps below:
1. Modify the archive name from "zh7 bios" to "ZH7X64.fd"
2. Save ROM file (file name: ZH9X64.fd ) to the root directory of the USB storage.
3. Plug the USB storage into a USB port.
4. Press Fn + ESC button then plug in AC.
5. Press Power button to initiate system CRISIS mode.
When CRISIS is complete, the system auto restarts with a workable BIOS.
6. Update the latest version BIOS for this machine by the regular BIOS flashing process.
