Using the Keyboard

The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock, Windows, function and special keys.

Lock Keys and embedded numeric keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

Lock key

Caps Lock

Num Lock

<Fn> + <F11>

Scroll Lock

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 you need to do 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 you press the up or down arrow keys 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 keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on the keys.

Clearing Password Check and BIOS Recovery

This section provides you with the standard operating procedures of clearing password and BIOS recovery for

Acer Aspire 5241 Series. The machine provides one Hardware Open Gap on main board for clearing password check, and one Hotkey for enabling BIOS Recovery.

Clearing Password Check

Steps for Clearing BIOS Password Check

If users set BIOS Password (Supervisor Password and/or User Password) for a security reason, BIOS will ask the password during systems POST or when systems enter to BIOS Setup menu. However, once it is necessary to bypass the password check, users need to short the HW Gap to clear the password by the following steps:

1. Power Off the system, and remove HDD, AC and Battery from the machine.

2. Disconnect the RTC Battery cable and locate the J1 jumper.

3. Use an electric conductivity tool to short the two points of the HW Gap.

4. Plug in AC, keep the short condition on the HW Gap, and press Power Button to power on the system till

BIOS POST finish. Then remove the tool from the HW Gap.

5. Restart system. Press F2 key to enter BIOS Setup menu.

6. If there is no Password request, BIOS Password is cleared. Otherwise, please follow the steps and try again.

NOTE: These steps are only for clearing BIOS Password (Supervisor Password and User Password).

BIOS Recovery by Crisis Disk

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 to a successful one once the previous

BIOS flashing process failed.

BIOS Recovery Hotkey:

The system provides a function hotkey: Fn+Esc, for enable BIOS Recovery process when system is powered on during BIOS POST. To use this function, it is strongly recommended to have the AC adapter and Battery present. If this function is enabled, the system will force the BIOS to enter a special BIOS block, called Boot

Block.

Steps for BIOS Recovery from USB Storage:

Before doing this, prepare the Crisis USB key. The Crisis USB key could be made by executing the Crisis Disk program in another system with Windows XP OS.

Follow the steps below:

1. Copy the xxxxx.wph BIOS file into the Crisis folder which is included with the crisis program.

2. Rename the xxxxx.wph file to BIOS.wph.

3. Plug in the USB disk.

4. Launch the wincris.exe program to create a USB Crisis Disk. Click Start to initiate the process.

5. Select the Quick Format option to format the disk and click Start. Follow the instructions on the screen to create the disk.

To use the Crisis USB key, do the following:

1. Plug USB storage into USB port.

2. Press Fn + ESC button then plug in AC power.

The Power button flashes orange once.

3. Press Power button to initiate system CRISIS mode.

When CRISIS is complete, the system auto restarts with a workable BIOS.

4. Update the latest version BIOS for this machine by regular BIOS flashing process.
