•
Move your finger across the touchpad (2) to move the cursor.
•
Press the left (1) and right buttons located beneath the touchpad to perform selection and execution
functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the
touchpad is the same as clicking the left button.

Acer eDataSecurity Management (for selected models)
Acer eDataSecurity Management is a handy file encryption utility that protects the files from
being accessed by unauthorized persons. It is conveniently integrated with Windows Explorer as
a shell extension for quick and easy data encryption/decryption and also supports on-the-fly file
encryption for MSN Messenger and Microsoft Outlook.
The Acer eDataSecurity Management setup wizard will prompt you for a supervisor password
and default encryption. This encryption will be used to encrypt files by default, or you can choose
to enter your own file-specific password when encrypting a file.
Note: The password used to encrypt a file is the unique key that the system needs to decrypt it. If you
lose the password, the supervisor password is the only other key capable of decrypting the file. If you
lose both passwords, there will be no way to decrypt your encrypted file! Be sure to safeguard all
related passwords!

adapter ROMs and see if that fixes
the problem.
• Remove all unnecessary expansion
cards (basically, everything but the
video card) and see if the problem
goes away. If it does, the problem is
probably one of the expansion cards
you removed. If not, your problem
lies elsewhere. Try to isolate the
problem by inserting one expansion
card at a time back into the system
and seeing which on e triggers the
problem.

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 problems, follow the procedures below:
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.
Chapter 4
97
Undetermined Problems
The diagnostic problems does not identify which devices fail, which devices are incorrectly
installed, whether a short circuit happens, or whether the system is inoperative.
NOTE: Verify if all devices attached are supported by the computer.
NOTE: Verify if the power supply used at the time of failure is operating correctly. You can refer to
Power System Check.
Follow the procedures below to isolate the failing FRU. Do not isolate non-defective FRU.
1. Power off the computer.
2. Visually check the devices. 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 been resolved.
6. If the problem does not recur, reconnect the removed devices one at a time until you find the failed
FRU.
7. If the problem remains, replace the following FRU one at a time. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.
