Recently a friend of mine got her acer aspire one (late 2010 model) water damaged. I removed the HDD for her and noticed that there are two other hatch which is for the RAM and another hatch which is empty .Problem is, she said that her netbook does have wifi and accused me of removing the wifi card. Im pretty 100% sure that when i opened the hatch there's nothing in it that resembles like a wireless module or anything. Ive been searching the internet for info on this but cant find any. Is it possible that her netbook had a built in wifi attached to the motherboard or anything? This is driving me nuts since the netbook itself is damaged and we cant turn it on to test for sure whether theres wifi in it. Thanks guys. :) hope to hear your opinions on this matter. </p> http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/acer-aspire-one-netbook-not-switching-on-plz-help#post-7780 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 13:59:40 +0000 Stemondo 7780@http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/ <p>Hi<br /> I have read alot of threads already on this problem but i'm still stuck.</p> <p>I have an AOA150 acer aspire one running on XP and its out of warranty.</p> <p>When plugged in an orange light shows but won't switch on, i have brought a new lead but no difference, i don't think its the battery as it still won't power on with the battery out. Occasionally when i mess around with the battery the screen may flick on for a second or when i hold the power button for a couple of minutes to drain all the power the screen flicks up again with the acer screen for about a second. Sometimes when i leave the lead plugged in for a couple of hours the light turns green but still doesn't do anything. I can't here any fans or anything running at all and when its plugged in and without battery in it makes a clicking.</p> <p>I've also tried that bios update instructions with a usb stick by putting the flashit file and renaming that fb file but doesn't seem to do anything. I have only copied those 2 files to the usb and not copied any of the other files though. Am i doing that right?</p> <p>And finally i have spoke to acer but they want me to send it in for £36+ posatge to have a look and then price up repairing it.</p> <p>Anyone help as i don't want acer to charge me for sending it in if its going to be too expensive to reapair.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Stephen </p> http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/acer-aspire-one-windows-startup-frozen#post-7686 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 17:32:44 +0000 veronica 7686@http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/ <p>Hello Everyone,</p> <p>I left my laptop running and lost power. when i turned it back on the Acer logo shows and goes straight into "Resuming Windows" with the white bars along the bottom.

Constant battery problems have made it worse than useless. I recently bought it a new battery - its third - and left it sitting for a few weeks with the lid shut. Now it will only run on AC power.</p> <p>Here are its specs:</p> <p>Acer Aspire One N214<br /> Model No. ZG5<br /> Product Name: A0A150<br /> BIOS: v0.3301<br /> Windows XP Home Edition</p> <p>The laptop is aware there's a battery present, giving these details in Power Meter:</p> <p>Battery Name: BAT1<br /> Unique ID: 0000UNKNOWNBAT1<br /> Chemistry: LION<br /> Power state: On Line<br /> Manufacturer: UNKNOWN</p> <p>In Power Meter, the battery's icon has a red X through it; it stays stubbornly at 0% charged. Sometimes the battery light on the laptop is a steady red; sometimes it flashes red. (If there's a pattern to this, I haven't spotted it.) ETA: I just powered the laptop down; the red light was steady for a few minutes, then began to flash.</p> <p>The previous two batteries were definitely dead - I tested them in another problem-free Acer - and I assume they died because I was recharging them without draining them first. Now I'm worried the laptop is somehow killing batteries. (I can't test the current battery right now.)</p> <p>No combination of rebooting and taking the battery in and out has helped. Please, please give me some suggestions on how to proceed, before I take an axe to the little bugger. </p> http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/new-aspire-one-xp-home-wont-connect-with-wpa2-aes#post-7201 Fri, 14 Jan 2011 23:19:03 +0000 calnhobes 7201@http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/ <p>So the Atheros AR5007EG wireless card won't work with WPA2? </p> http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/aspire-one-d255-2509-battery#post-6934 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 23:58:09 +0000 deafcheer 6934@http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/ <p>Hmm been doing Google to find one in U.S. and couldn't find it. :( </p> http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/aspire-one-d255-2509-battery#post-6932 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 12:24:07 +0000 Benediction 6932@http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/ <p>BT.00603.114</p> <p>6cell part number for a D255. </p> http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/aspire-one-d255-2509-battery#post-6931 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 09:20:13 +0000 deafcheer 6931@http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/ <p>There is 3-cell li-lion battery that comes with Aspire One D255-2509 netbook.

You don't need it. Check and see if you can hold a connection on another network. If you can then it's your router and will need to be replaced. </p> http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/wireless-connection-problems-acer-aspire-one-532h#post-6652 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 16:44:20 +0000 Jamesreekie 6652@http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/ <p>Basically,</p> <p>My Acer connects to the wireless network for about a minute before the icon at the bottom of the screen says that it is no longer connected.<br /> However, I can still browse the web but the connection without warning just uts off and i have to repair it again.
