Touchpad  
The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This means the cursor  
responds as you move your finger across the surface of the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest  
provides optimum comfort and support.

Move your finger across the touchpad (2) to move the cursor.  
Press the left (1) and right (4) 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.

Using the Keyboard  
The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded keypad, separate cursor keys, two Windows keys and  
twelve function keys.  
Lock Keys and embedded mumeric keypad  
The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.  
Lock Key  
Description  
Caps Lock  
When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed  
are in uppercase.  
Num lock  
When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in  
<Fn>+<F11> 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.  
Scroll lock  
When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up  
<Fn>+<F12> 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.

Power System Check  
To verify the symptom of the problem, power on the computer using each of the following power sources:  
1. Remove the battery pack.  
2. Connect the power adapter and check that power is supplied.  
3. Disconnect the power adapter and install the charged battery pack; then check that power is supplied by  
the battery pack.  
If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate power supply check in the following list:  
T
“Check the Battery Pack” on page 60  
Chapter 4  
59  
 
Check the Battery Pack  
To check the battery pack, do the following:  
From Software:  
1. Check out the Power Management in control Panel  
2. In Power Meter, confirm that if the parameters shown in the screen for Current Power Source and Total  
Battery Power Remaining are correct.  
3. Repeat the steps 1 and 2, for both battery and adapter.  
4. This helps you identify first the problem is on recharging or discharging.  
From Hardware:  
1. Power off the computer.  
2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery terminals 1(+) and 6(ground). See the  
following figure  
3. If the voltage is still less than 7.5 Vdc after recharging, replace the battery.  
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 computer.  
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.  
Touchpad check  
If the touchpad doesn’t work, do the following actions one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a  
non-defective FRU:  
1. After rebooting, run Tracking Pad PS2 Mode Driver. For example, run Syn touch driver.  
2. Run utility with the PS/2 mouse function and check if the mouse is working.  
3. If the the PS/2 mouse does not work, then check if the main board to switch board FPC is connected O.K.  
4. If the main board to switch board FPC is connected well, then check if the FCC on touch pad PCB  
connects properly.  
5. If the FFC on touch pad PCB connects properly, then check if LS851 JP1 Pin6=5V are pulese. If yes, then  
replace switch board. If no, then go to next step.  
6. Replace touch pad PCB.  
7. If the touch pad still does not work, then replace FPC on Track Pad PCB.  
After you use the touchpad, the pointer drifts 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.

The POST error message index lists the error message and their possible causes. The most likely cause is  
listed first.  
NOTE: Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the sequence shown in FRU/Action column, if the FRU  
replacement does not solve the problem, put the original part back in the computer. Do not replace a  
non-defective FRU.  
This index can also help you determine the next possible FRU to be replaced when servicing a computer.  
If the symptom is not listed, see “Undetermined Problems” on page 72.  
The following lists the error messages that the BIOS displays on the screen and the error symptoms classified  
by function.  
NOTE: Most of the error messages occur during POST. Some of them display information about a hardware  
device, e.g., the amount of memory installed. Others may indicate a problem with a device, such as the  
way it has been configured.  
NOTE: If the system fails after you make changes in the BIOS Setup Utility menus, reset the computer, enter  
Setup and install Setup defaults or correct the error.

Chapter 4  
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 problem, do the following:  
1. Run the 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  
71  
 
Undetermined Problems  
The diagnostic problems does not identify which adapter or device failed, which installed devices are incorrect,  
whether a short circuit is suspected, or whether the system is inoperative.  
Follow these procedures to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate non-defective FRU).  
NOTE: Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer.  
NOTE: Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly. (See “Power  
System Check” on page 59):  
1. Power-off the computer.  
2. Visually check them for damage. If any problems are found, replace the FRU.  
3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:  
T

T
T
T
Non-Acer devices  
Printer, mouse, and other external devices  
Battery pack  
Hard disk drive  
DIMM  
PC Cards  
4. Power-on the computer.  
5. Determine if the problem has changed.  
6. If the problem does not recur, reconnect the removed devices one at a time until you find the failing FRU.  
7. If the problem remains, replace the following FRU one at a time. Do not replace a non-defective FRU:
