Preface
Before using this information and the product it supports, please read the following general information.
1.
This Service Guide provides you with all technical information relating to the BASIC CONFIGURATION
decided for Acer's "global" product offering. To better fit local market requirements and enhance product
competitiveness, your regional office MAY have decided to extend the functionality of a machine (e.g.
add-on card, modem, or extra memory capability). These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered
in this generic service guide. In such cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible
personnel/channel to provide you with further technical details.
2.
Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the most up-to-date information
available on your regional web or channel. If, for whatever reason, a part number change is made, it will
not be noted in the printed Service Guide. For ACER-AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your Acer
office may have a DIFFERENT part number code to those given in the FRU list of this printed Service
Guide. You MUST use the list provided by your regional Acer office to order FRU parts for repair and
service of customer machines.

Keyboard
The keyboard has full-sized keys that include separate cursor keys, two Windows keys, and twelve function
keys.
Cursor keys
The cursor keys, also called the arrow keys, let you move the cursor around the screen. They serve the same
function as the arrow keys on the numeric keypad when the Num Lock is toggled off.
Lock keys
The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off to switch between two functions.
Lock Key
Description
Caps Lock
Num Lock
Scroll Lock
When activated, all alphabetic characters typed appear in uppercase (same
function as pressing Shift + <letter>).
When activated, the keypad is set to numeric mode, i.e., the keys will function as a
calculator (complete with arithmetic operators such as +, -, x, and /).
When activated, the screen moves one line up or down when you press the up
arrow or down arrow respectively. Take note that Scroll Lock may not work with
some applications.

System Utilities
Most systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer. There is no need to run
Setup when starting the computer unless you get a Run Setup message.
The Setup program loads configuration values into the battery-backed nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM.
This memory area is not part of the system RAM.
NOTE: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad. In this case, the system
cannot retain configuration values in CMOS.
Before you run Setup, make sure that you have saved all open files. The system reboots immediately after
you exit Setup.

Power-On Self-Test (POST)
Each time you turn on the system, the Power-on Self Test (POST) is initiated. Several items are tested during
POST, but is for the most part transparent to the user.
The Power-On Self Test (POST) is a BIOS procedure that boots the system, initializes and diagnoses the
system components, and controls the operation of the power-on password option. If POST discovers errors in
system operations at power-on, it displays error messages on screen, generates a check point code at port
80h or even halts the system if the error is fatal.
The main components on the main board that must be diagnosed and/or initialized by POST to ensure system
functionality are as follows:

POST Check Points
When POST executes a task, it uses a series of preset numbers called check point to be latched at port 80h,
indicating the stages it is currently running. This latch can be read and shown on a debug board.
Table D-1 describes the Acer common tasks carried out by POST. A unique check point number represents
each task.

08H
Determines if the current booting procedure is from cold boot (press reset button or turn
the system on), from warm boot (press CTRL + ALT + DEL or from exiting BIOS setup.
Check CPU ID, dispatch shutdown Path.
NOTE: At the beginning of POST, port 64 bit 2 (8042 system flag) is read to
determine whether this POST is caused by cold or warm boot. If it is a cold
boot, a complete POST is performed. If it is a warm boot, the chip initialization
and memory test is eliminated from he POST routine.
Disables Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI), Alarm Interrupt Enable (AIE), Periodical Interrupt
Enable (PIE), and Update-ended Interrupt Enable (UIE).
NOTE: These interrupts are disabled in order to avoid any mis-action happened
during the POST routine.

1. Verifies CMOS shutdown byte, battery and check sum.
NOTE: Several parts of the POST routine require the system to be in protected
mode. When returning to real mode from protected mode, the processor is
reset, therefore POST is re-entered. In order to prevent re-initialization of the
system, POST reads the shutdown code stored in location 0Fh in CMOS
RAM. Then it jumps around the initialization procedure to the entry point.
The CMOS shutdown byte verification assures that CMOS 0Fh area is fine to execute
POST properly.
2. Initializes CMOS default setting
3. Initializes RTC time base
NOTE: The RTC has an embedded oscillator that generates 32.768 Hz frequency. To
initialize the RTC time base, turn on this oscillator and set a divisor to 32768

POST Error Messages List
If you cannot run the diagnostics program tests but did receive a POST error message, use “POST Error
Messages List” to diagnose system problems. If you did not receive any error message, look for a description
of your error symptoms in “Error Symptoms List” on page 70.
NOTE:
When you have deemed it necessary to replace an FRU, and have done so, you must run a total
system check to ensure that no other activity has been affected by the change. This system check can
be done through the diagnostics program.
NOTE:
Check all power supply voltages, switch, and jumper settings before you replace the main board. Also
check the power supply voltages if you have a “system no-power” condition.
If you are unable to correct the problem by using the “BIOS Messages List” table and “Error Symptoms List”
table, go to “Undetermined Problems” on page 76.
NOTE:
To diagnose a problem, first find the BIOS error messages in the left column. If directed to a check
procedure, replace the FRU indicated in the check procedure. If no check procedure is indicated, the
first Action/FRU listed in right column is the most likely cause.

FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) List
This chapter gives you the FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) listing in global configurations of AcerPower Sx.
Refer to this chapter whenever ordering for parts to repair or for RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization).
NOTE: Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that 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 in the printed Service Guide. For ACER-AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your
Acer office may have a DIFFERENT part number code to 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.
NOTE: To scrap or to return the defective parts, you should follow the local government ordinance or
regulations on how best to dispose it, or follow the rules set by your regional Acer office on how to
return it.
