Description

Mechanical Off - All devices in the system are turned off completely. No electrical current is running through the system. Except for the real-time clock, power consumption is zero. The machine can be worked on without damaging the hardware or endangering service personnel.

Soft Off - The computer consumes a minimal amount of power. No user mode or system mode code is run. It is not safe to disassemble the machine in this state.

The computer consumes a small amount of power, user mode threads are not being executed, and the system “appears” to be off (from the end user’s perspective, the display is off, and so on).

It is not safe to disassemble the machine in this state.

Working - The system dispatches user mode (application) threads and they execute. In this state, peripheral devices are having their power state changed dynamically. The user can select, through some UI, various performance/power characteristics of the system to have the software optimize for performance or battery life. The system responds to external events in real time. It is not safe to disassemble the machine in this state.

Mechanical Off - All devices in the system are turned off completely. No electrical current is running through the system. Except for the real-time clock, power consumption is zero. The machine can be worked on without damaging the hardware or endangering service personnel.

CHAPTER 3: Replacing notebook components

Preventing static electricity discharge

Warning

To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and moving parts, turn off your notebook, remove the battery, and unplug the power cord and network cable before opening the case.

Warning

To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object into the vent holes of the notebook.

Important

Before performing maintenance on the notebook, you should read and understand the information in this section.

The components inside your notebook are extremely sensitive to static electricity, also known as

electrostatic discharge

(ESD).

Before performing maintenance on the notebook, follow these guidelines:

• Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and packing foam.

• Remove components from their antistatic bags only when you are ready to use them. Do not lay components on the outside of antistatic bags because only the inside of the bags provide electrostatic protection.

• Always hold components by their edges. Avoid touching the edge connectors. Never slide components over any surface.

• Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics stores) and attach it to a bare metal part of your workbench or other grounded connection.

• Touch a bare metal surface on your workbench or other grounded object.

Tape

Some of the procedures in this guide involve removing tape that secures cables or components. Two types of tape are used in this notebook:

• Mylar, non-conductive tape is typically transparent, with a red or brown tint.

• Conductive tape is typically grey or silver in color.

If the existing tape cannot be reused, replace it with the same type. Make sure the replacement tape is of the non-ESD generating kind. Do not use cellophane tape.

48

www.packardbell.com

Preparing the work space

Before performing maintenance on the notebook, make sure that your work space and the notebook are correctly prepared.

• Wear a grounding (ESD) wrist strap, and use a grounded or dissipative work mat.

• Use a sturdy table. Make sure that the table top is wide enough to hold each component as you remove it.

• Ensure that clear lighting condition is available to make part identification easier.

• Keep your work surface free from clutter and debris that may damage components.

• Use a magnetized screwdriver for removing screws.

• When removing components that are attached to the notebook by a cable, unplug the cable before removing the screws, when possible, to avoid damaging the cable.

• As you remove components and screws, lay them toward the rear of your work surface (behind the notebook) or far enough to the side that your arms will not accidentally brush them onto the floor.

• To help keep track of screws, try the following:

– Place each component’s screws in their own section of a parts sorter.

– Place each component’s screws next to the component on your work surface.

– Print the first page of each task, then place the page toward the rear of your work surface. As you remove screws, place the screws in their respective section on the page.

– After loosening screws that are deeply recessed in a hole (for example, on the bottom of the base assembly), you can leave the screws in the holes if you place small pieces of masking tape over the hole openings.

When reassembling the component, just remove the tape and tighten the screws.

– When you place flat-headed screws on the work surface, stand them on their heads to prevent the screws from rolling off the table.

CHAPTER 4: Troubleshooting

Diagnosing problems

Use the following procedure as a guide for diagnosing notebook problems.

Important

The diagnostic tests are intended to test only Acer products.

Non-Acer products, prototype cards, or modified options can give false errors and invalid system responses.

1 Obtain the failing symptoms in as much detail as possible.

2 Verify the symptoms by attempting to re-create the failure by running the diagnostic test or by repeating the same operation.

3 Use the following table with the verified symptom to determine which page to go to.

Symptoms (Verified)

Power failure. (The power indicator does not go on or stay on.)

POST does not complete. No beep or error codes are indicated.

Go To

“Testing the power system” on page

140

• “Power-On Self-Test (POST) error message” on page 143

• “Undetermined problems” on page

157

“Index of error messages” on page 144

POST detects an error and displayed messages on screen.

Other symptoms (LCD display problems or others).

Symptoms cannot be re-created

(intermittent problems).

“Power-On Self-Test (POST) error message” on page 143

• Use the customer-reported symptoms and go to

“Power-On

Self-Test (POST) error message” on page 143

• “Intermittent problems” on page 156

• “Undetermined problems” on page

System test procedures

Testing the optical drive

Use the following procedure to isolate a problem in an optical drive controller, driver, or drive.

Important

Make sure that the CD-ROM does not have any label attached to it. The label can cause damage to the drive or can cause the drive to fail.

To test the optical drive:

1 Boot from the diagnostics diskette and start the diagnostics program.

2 Run the CD-ROM Test and see if the test completes successfully.

3 Follow the instructions in the message window.

If an error occurs, reconnect the connector on the system board.

If the error still remains:

4 Reconnect the external optical drive to a USB jack.

5 Replace the external optical drive.

6 Replace the system board.

Testing the keyboard or auxiliary input device

If the internal keyboard does not work or an unexpected character appears, make sure that the flexible cable extending from the keyboard is correctly seated in the connector on the system board. If the keyboard cable is connected correctly, run the Keyboard Test.

Important

Disconnect any external keyboards before testing the built-in keyboard.

If the tests detect a keyboard problem, do the following one at a time.

To correct the problem:

1 Reconnect the keyboard cable to the system board.

2 Replace the keyboard.

3 Replace the system board.

Important

Do not replace a non-defective FRU.

The following auxiliary input devices are supported by this notebook:

• Numeric keypad

• External keyboard

If any of these devices do not work, reconnect the cable connector and repeat the failing operation.

139

CHAPTER 4: Troubleshooting

Testing the memory

Memory errors can stop your programs, show error messages on the screen, or hang the system.

To test the memory:

1 Boot from the diagnostics diskette and start the diagnostics program.

2 Run the Memory Test and see if the test completes successfully.

3 Press F2 in the test items.

4 Follow the instructions in the message window.

Important

Make sure that each memory card is fully installed into the connector. A loose connection can cause an error.

Testing the power system

To test for a power problem:

• Turn on the notebook using each of the following power sources:

– Remove the battery pack, connect the power adapter, then make sure that the notebook turns on using AC power.

– Disconnect the power adapter, install a charged battery pack, then make sure that power is supplied by the battery pack.

If you suspect a power problem, complete the appropriate power supply check:

“Check the power adapter” on page 140

“Check the battery pack” on page 141

Check the power adapter

Unplug the power adapter cable from the notebook and measure the output voltage at the power adapter cable plug. See the following figure.

Pin 1: +19 to +20.5V

Pin 2: 0V, Ground

140

www.packardbell.com

• If the voltage is not correct, replace the power adapter.

• If the voltage is within the range, do the following:

– Replace the system board.

– If the problem is not corrected, see

“Undetermined problems” on page

157 .

– If the power-on indicator does not light up, check the power adapter’s power cord for correct continuity and installation.

• If the operational charge does not work,

see “Check the battery pack” on page

141

.

Important

An audible noise from the power adapter does not always indicate a defect.

Check the battery pack

To check the battery pack using software:

1 Open Power Management in the Windows Control Panel.

2 In Power Meter, make sure that the parameters shown for Current Power

Source and Total Battery Power Remaining are correct.

3 Repeat the steps 1 and 2, for both battery and adapter. This helps you identify first the problem is on recharging or discharging.

To check the battery pack using hardware:

1 Turn off the notebook.

2 Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery terminals

1 (+) and 6 (ground).

3 If the voltage is still less than 7.5 Vdc after recharging, replace the battery.

Important

To check the battery charge operation, use a discharged battery pack or a battery pack that has less than 50% of the total power remaining when installed in the notebook.

If the battery status indicator does not light up, remove the battery pack and let it return to room temperature. Re-install the battery pack.

If the charge indicator still does not light up, replace the battery pack. If the charge indicator still does not light up, replace the DC/DC charger board.

141

CHAPTER 4: Troubleshooting

Testing the touchpad

If the touchpad doesn’t work, do the following actions one at a time to correct the problem.

To test the touchpad:

1 Reconnect the touchpad cables.

2 Replace the touchpad.

3 Replace the system board.

Important

Do not replace a non-defective FRU.

After you use the touchpad, the pointer may drift on the screen for a short time.

This self-acting pointer movement can occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the touchpad pointer. This symptom is not a hardware problem. No service actions are necessary if the pointer movement stops in a short period of time.

142

www.packardbell.com

Power-On Self-Test (POST) error message

The POST error message index lists the error message and their possible causes.

The most likely cause is listed first.

Important

Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the sequence shown in the FRU/Action column. If the FRU replacement does not solve the problem, put the original part back in the notebook. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.

This index can also help you determine the next possible FRU to be replaced when servicing a notebook.

If the symptom is not listed, see “Undetermined problems” on page 157

.

The following lists the error messages that the BIOS displays on the screen and the error symptoms classified by function.

Important

Most of the error messages occur during POST. Some of them display information about a hardware device, such as the amount of memory installed. Others may indicate a problem with a device, such as the way it has been configured.

Important

If the system fails after you make changes in the BIOS Setup Utility menus, reset the notebook, enter Setup, and install Setup defaults or correct the error.

155

CHAPTER 4: Troubleshooting

Intermittent problems

Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect. These reasons include: cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when a recurring problem exists.

To analyze an intermittent problem:

1 Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least ten times.

– If any error is detected, replace the FRU.

• If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU.

2 Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors.

156

www.packardbell.com

Undetermined problems

If the diagnostic test may not identify which adapter or device failed, which installed devices are incorrect, whether a short circuit is suspected, or whether the system is inoperative. Use these procedures to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate a non-defective FRU).

Important

Verify that all attached devices are supported by the notebook.

Important

Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly. (

See “Testing the power system” on page 140.

)

To isolate a failing FRU:

1 Turn off the notebook.

2 Visually check FRU parts for damage. If you identify any damage, 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(s)

– SO-DIMM

– Optical drive

– Memory cards

4 Turn on the notebook.

5 Determine if the problem has changed.

– If the problem does not recur, reconnect the removed devices one at a time until you find the failing FRU.

– If the problem does recur, replace the following FRUs one at a time:

• System board

• LCD assembly

Important

Do not replace a non-defective FRU.

CHAPTER 6: FRU (Field-Replaceable Unit) list

Introduction

This chapter gives you the FRU (field-replaceable-unit) listing in global configurations of this model. Refer to this chapter whenever ordering for parts to repair or for RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization).

Please note that WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, you should check the most up-to-date information available on your regional web or channel. For whatever reasons a part number change is made, it will not be noted on the printed Service

Guide. For ACER AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your Acer office may have a DIFFERENT part number code from those given in the FRU list of this printed Service Guide. You MUST use the local FRU list provided by your regional

Acer office to order FRU parts for repair and service of customer machines.

Important

To scrap or to return the defective parts, you should follow the local government ordinance or regulations on how to dispose it properly, or follow the rules set by your regional Acer office on how to return it.
