  • For info: The 5750G came in three variants: I7-2820QM 2.3GHz (Turbo up to 3.4GHz) I7-2720QM 2.2GHz (Turbo up to 3.3GHz) I7-2630QM 2.0GHz (Turbo up to 2.9GHz) The 5750 came in five variants: I7-2620M 2.7GHz (Turbo up to 3.4GHz) I5-2540M 2.6GHz (Turbo up to 3.3GHz) I5-2520M 2.5GHz (Turbo up to 3.2GHz) I5-2410M 2.3GHz (Turbo…

  • As far as I'm aware, the M5 does not store BIOS information (including passwords) in volatile memory. Consequently, removing the battery, which is simply for the RTC, will not clear BIOS data or passwords. I suspect that few if any current laptops use volatile memory for password storage. It is too easy to circumvent. Why…

  • From your description, I would suspect it is still wet. I have done this myself (more than once) and can tell you that it can take days to dry out and that's with the keyboard removed and left in an airing cupboard. The keyboard is fixed by a total of 53 screws! You may be lucky if you spilt plain water but, if the liquid…

  • I would say an internal solution is not possible - you simply don't have the room. An external water cooler would be possible but a) I don't know if they are still available and b) you would need to modify the case.

  • As far as I am aware, Abfiles is compatible with Windows 7. However, while I have had it loaded briefly on Win7 for testing, I do not use this software so it was removed. I did not experience the problems you describe. Hopefully, someone else can throw some light on the problem.

  • The symptoms you describe are the result of pressing Ctrl+Alt+vowel. The Ctrl+Alt addition also produces the third character on relevant keys - € and ¦. Given that the problem is repeatable using an external keyboard suggests that the issue is not with the keyboard but software. It may be worthwhile checking all…

  • Yes, I am here and I do remember. However, the problem I had was not related to a startup delay exactly so it may not solve your particular issue. http://community.acer.com/t5/2013-Archives/My-Aspire-S7-stops-responding-for-a-few-seconds-once-in-a-while/m-p/86637#M46887 Here is a 'reprint' of my original post:…

  • Your picture shows a multiplier of 8. Normally, this would be 21 giving full CPU speed of 2.10GHz. It appears to me that the CPU is throttled. Dropping to 8 (which I think is the lowest it will go) suggests to me that your CPU is overheating. You may like to run something like 'HWMonitor' to check temperatures:…
    in CPU Locked at 0.78GHz on Acer Timeline X Comment by Alan-London April 2015
  • Try running 'CPU-Z' which should provide accurate and real-time info on your CPU: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html The i3-2310M does not employ Turbo Boost Technology so should always run at 2.10GHz. I don't believe there are any BIOS parameters to allow altering of clock speeds. If the reported CPU and bus speeds…

  • There are a number of possibilities: 1. Damage due to not taking ESD countermeasures. 2. Damage to Flat Flex Cables (FFC). 3. Incorrect FFC connections. 4. Faulty replacement keyboard. You may need to refit your original keyboard to determine if the replacement is at fault. Flex cables are very fragile and can be easily…

  • Both are half height mini PCIe cards (as shown below) so the Intel should physically fit. Assuming drivers are available, you should be ok (but I haven't tried!).
    in M5-581TG Upgrade WIFI / WLAN Card - Intel Wireless-AC 7260 compatible? Comment by Alan-London April 2015
  • No. i3-2365 uses socket FCBGA1023 (Ball Grid Array - not a socket at all). i5-3210 uses socket FCPGA988 (Pin Grid Array socket).
    in im aware its obvious but... Comment by Alan-London April 2015
  • The V3-331, as far as I can determine, does not employ a socket mounted CPU. The CPU is a BGA (Ball Grid Array) device which is surface mounted. Intel use the term 'socket' (in the case of the i5-4200U, the 'socket' is fcbga1168) but in reality it is not a socket at all and likely simply indicates a connection map. While…

    in I ordered a G227HQL bi monitor and it came with the wrong monitor stand and power adapter Comment by Alan-London April 2015
  • vsaloustros: Yes, you should be ok but note the voltage - 1.5V. As I think you know, 2 x 4GB is fine but not 1 x 8GB. dukeice: The 5750 is only specified as supporting 1.5V. The maximum supported speed is 1333.

  • Battery: Try cycling the battery as suggested. However, 6 years is a long time - your battery may well be simply worn out. Unfortunately, no notifications are produced as far as I know. Teredo Tunneling: Terado is simply a temporary 'fix' to allow non compliant hardware to gain access to IPv6 network addresses. Originally,…
    in Faulty power adapter on Acer Aspire One D255E Comment by Alan-London April 2015
  • Just to clarify: Each slot can support a maximum of 4GB so to get 8GB you must use 2 x 4GB. You cannot use 1 x 8GB.

  • I can find no information on the G227HQL. However, the G226HQL, which is also a 21.5" model, uses the following stand: Part Name: 'ASSEMBLY STAND & BASE BLACK' Description: 'ASSY STAND AND BASE G236HL GLOSSY AND OR' Acer Part No.: '60.LWSM1.003' I honestly have no idea if this is compatible with your model. The stand is…
