Brightness1982 Troubleshooter

Thank you for your reply Billsey! Are you sure this is the case? Puraw seems certain USB-C charging will work with an upgrade to Windows 11 Pro…? 😥😥😥😥 I was just looking at this page and it says: https://www.acer.com/au-en/support/product-support/SF314-43/NX.AB1SA.002/details "USB charging 5 V" but is this referring to the…

Thanks for your reply Puraw! Windows 10 Pro is telling me that Windows 11 Pro upgrade is available for free and you're saying that by upgrading to Windows 11 Pro I'll be able to recharge this laptop via the USB C port??? Wow, I hope you're right!😰 Is there any way for me to check before I upgrade to Windows 11 Pro?

Thanks for your reply William! I'm too nervous to install the Scan App from crucial.com… 😥 What are the best USB hardware accessories I can buy to enhance this Acer laptop?

Thanks for your reply Billsey! I had a look at the crucial.com website but I don't like the idea of installing an App from them to do the scan for me. Realistically, the best I can do is upgrade the SSD right? My current SSD is a 512GB that it came with. Would I notice any performance increase from buying a new 1TB SSD?

Thanks for your reply Puraw! I just updated to the latest Acer 1.10 BIOS a few days ago and I'm running Windows 10 Pro. How does it matter if I upgrade to Windows 11????? 😥😥

Thanks for your reply Puraw! However, I’m not sure if the URL you gave is related to my question? I just want to know if I have a way to charge my Acer laptop if the regular power charger port stops working? It has stopped working in the past and it was a huge nightmare!😪

Thanks for your replies! Those headphones are wayyy out of my budget. However, even though I’ve bought a USB sound card from Creative I’m still finding it to be not very loud. The creative USB sound card is a huge upgrade over the inbuilt Acer 3.5mm headphone jack though

Thanks for your reply billsey! Are there any audio USB devices that you recommend? You're amazing man! I really hope Acer promote you!

Okay it's now been a week and the Acer laptop is running great still! Thanks so much Billsey!!🤩

Okay I just installed the Acer BIOS update and rebooted the Acer laptop. In the Acer BIOS when I turn the Acer laptop on it says V 1.08. When I boot into Windows 10 Pro in the Acer Care Centre App it also says BIOS version: V1.08. Does this mean it worked? Are there any tests I can run to make sure that the BIOS update was…

I really hope Billsey receives a promotion from Acer because he is doing God's work in this community!!

Great! I will do the BIOS update ASAP! You really the king of kings Billsey!!! I'm going to try and put a BIOS password on my Acer Swift laptop but I've never tried this before. Should I do it after I upgrade the Acer Swift laptop's BIOS?

Thanks for your reply billsey! Do you think it's worth installing the latest BIOS update? I'm not worried about improving performance. It's hard for me to tell how this will improve the reliability, security and stability of my Acer laptop? 😥😥😥 "1. Add Acer Battery Information Feature. 2. Update PI FP6_1.0.0.C. 3. Support…

Thanks for your reply Billsey! You seem to have an unlimited amount of knowledge! Ok I will update the BIOS now, but what about the other software that's available for my Acer laptop? By the way, you selected Windows 11 while I'm only on Windows 10 Pro. Is it worth it for me to install the other BIOS updates such as:…

Thanks for your reply Billsey! You're always amazing! What benefits would I get by upgrading the BIOS? There are many other driver downloads available but everything has been working fine except sometimes my touchpad is a bit off and it's difficult for me to register a "right click" Is it worth downloading these other…

Thanks for your replies! I've been using these for about 12 months now: I trust the CREATIVE brand so I was wondering if it'd be worth it for me to buy a more expensive USB audio product from CREATIVE? Here are similar products:

Are there any other headphone products people can recommend to boost my sound? Thanks for your reply Billsey! To be honest, I really hate wireless headphones because I'm always worried they're going to fall out :(

Regarding the sound difference between the iPad 3.5mm headphone jack and my Acer laptop: To be honest I'd say the iPad's 3.5mm jack headphones are about 50% than the Acer because it's louder and it can hit the bass really well even though I'm using the exact same headphones.

Thanks for your reply Billsey! I'm getting overwhelmed now because there are so many options for the type of headphone setup I want to have. I was looking at this and there are many devices similar to it. Would something like this improve the sound quality from my headphones on my Acer laptop? Sorry if I'm breaking any…

Thanks for your replies! So if I buy USB headphones the sound quality would be separate from the sound quality I get from using the headphone jack? I think the headphone jack limits me to the audio quality of the Acer laptop's motherboard? :(
