Using the Keyboard

Figure 1-7.

Keyboard Lock Keys

The keyboard has three lock keys which can be toggled on and off. (Table 1-7)

Table 1-7.

Keyboard Lock Keys

Lock key

Caps Lock

Num Lock

Scroll Lock

<Fn> + <F12>

Description

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

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.

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.

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)

System Utilities

BIOS Setup Utility

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 Boot Manager allows the boot order to be changed without accessing the BIOS Setup

Utility. To use the Boot Manager, perform the following:

NOTE: NOTE:

The F12 Boot Menu option must be set to Enabled in the BIOS Setup Utility’s Main

screen. (refer to Main )

To use the Boot Manager, perform the following steps:

1.

Start the computer.

2.

Press F12 when prompted during POST procedure. The Boot Manager dialog is shown.

Using DMITools

2-20

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 ==> 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)

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, 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.

0

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.

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

Clearing Password Check and BIOS Recovery

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

0

NOTE: NOTE:

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

User Password).

Clearing BIOS Password

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).

If password prompt is shown, repeat steps 1 through 7.

BIOS Recovery by Crisis Disk

0

BIOS Recovery Boot Block

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.

0

BIOS Recovery Hotkey

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.

0

Steps for BIOS Recovery using USB HDD

NOTE: 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).

0

Figure 5-5.

Format HDD

2.

Copy ROM (read-only memory) file, Q5WP2X64.fd, to root directory of USB HDD. Make sure that there is no other BIOS file is saved in the same directory.

3.

Insert USB HDD into USB port.

4.

Press Fn + ESC button and hold while plugging in AC power adapter.

5.

The Power button flashes once.

6.

Press Power button to initiate system CRISIS mode.
