I have an Acer Aspire a315-42-R3VN that I want to add a SATA drive to. The official parts for this are 50.HF4N2.001 and 55.HF4N2.002, but I can't find them on Amazon. There are a bunch of other SATA adapters though, such as this one: https://www.amazon.ca/BAY-Direct-Connector-15-J105TX-Compatible/dp/B07HFQ4RXC/ref=nav_ya_signin?pd_rd_w=TT5P6&pf_rd_p=4dc33e2e-16b5-4e12-aab9-e86d5748e0cb&pf_rd_r=VZD5YNFXSTRCPR1YBJ0K&pd_rd_r=515aa50b-3501-4a4a-bd43-f2b0a7084032&pd_rd_wg=oNZUt&pd_rd_i=B07HFQ4RXC&psc=1& Would this work instead of the official parts? The connector looks the same, and the board on the official part looks like doesn't do anything other than attach the ribbon cable to the SATA plug on the drive. I know the official parts are available on ebay and even Walmart, but I'd like to order from Amazon if possible. I got the part numbers from this post: https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/577765/acer-aspire-315-42-r3zh-parts-number

Hi everybody After YT-ing a many years finally made the step to use the LTT forum. I'm fighting against an Acer Aspire 7750G with a keyboard error and its driving me crazy. With the old (without some keys) keyboard it boots fine. Without a keyboard it boots fine. With a new keyboard (its already the 3rd new one from another brand) it keeps beeping and after a long time it boots into windows, no more beeps and works perfect. I tried to: change the keyboard driver disconnected the battery and power cable and pressed the on button for 15 seconds reinstalled windows reinstalled windows on a different SSD to use the new keyboard before windows (bios) and that works When reinstalling after the reboot (files copy) it also starts to beep. I'm out of options and I don't get it... Its just a new keyboard. I really hope someone here can help me. Thanks anyway! Wesley Keyb_beeps.mp4

I know that it's an old laptop. It's for Grandma guys! I am just trying not to add on to this gigantic pile of trash we create everyday. She only opens an email with it, ok? Large screen, large letters etc. Anyway, anyone was able to upgrade this model to 4GB RAM? I see some websites selling up to 8GB ram for this machine. At the same time Acer specs and others claim that 2GB RAM is max. Acer has really poor support site, no documentation - bare bones... Here are some other spec: Intel Pentium dual-core processor T2310; 1,46 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 1MB L2 cache Thanks for help!

Hello all, Could you guys give a recommendation on what to install on this Acer. Originally it runs Win XP but given that Microsoft doesn't provide security updates for it I'm looking for other options. I'm doing this for my grandmother so she can read news and newspapers. I was thinking of installing linux based software myb? Idk... Share me your thoughts on what can be done. Kind Regards

This magnificent specimen was meant to be my new living room media-pc. Everything was going fine, upgraded to win10, setup speedfan, temps were nice 40-45 celsius considering how bad the ventilation is in the case. The processor in this thing is AMD Athlon X2 215. Decided to change that 10 year old thermal paste and after that everything went right down to the s*itter.. Speedfan couldnt keep up with the temps and fan couldn't bring them down, even at full blast cpu temp was climbing to 70c! Tried reapplying four more times with different amounts of paste and screw tensions, couldnt get to windows as pc did emergency shutdown, final bios reading was 68c, and continued rising. One of the heatsink screws finally stripped the mount hole because of the repeated attempts to get it to work, but i just dont understand what went wrong here in the first place? Is the cpu now broken? do i need a new heatsink? WTF!

Hi everyone! Last year, I started having some trouble with my main PC at the time. It is an Acer Aspire V5-571, a just terrible laptop. At the time, I got a black screen with an error message that said something like "OS Not Found" and that was it. It never launched Windows 10, I could never get in the BIOS and just... nothing. Eventually, it got to the point where the screen was just black even though the keyboard and fans turned on, so I built a PC and forgot all about it. I still have the laptop and due to the quarantine, I have some free time. So can someone with more experience than me please help me out? I tried a bunch of things at the time, but I'm starting from scratch now. To sum up, the keyboard lights up, the fan starts spinning and I get nothing on the screen. The only "physical" thing I did to the PC was remove the HDD, but I have a bunch of flash drives where I can install an OS to start from there. Today I tried turning it on and off again and then I connected it via HDMI to a monitor and I didn't get a signal. Any ideas are more than welcome. Thanks in advance!

Are there a list of motherboards that fit into an Acer Aspire 5536-5224?? It's not started up the software 3 times throughout its life. I've decided to just get a new board. Preferably one that supports AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core ZM-88. The whole point is to just keep my ports.

Sorry for formatting issues, I am on mobile. Okay LTT forums, you're my last hope. I have an Acer Aspire 4738 of a family member, which BSOD'd a few days ago. Backed up the data in the "C" partition (where 90% of the users data was) using a Linux bootable I had made just for these kind of cases. This laptop is slightly unusual, it's got 5gigs of RAM. I was surprised too when I opened it up a few minutes ago. The laptop now needs a new OS, win10, no brainer. I get by win10 bootable, get the laptop to boot into the win10 setup, so far so good, here's where it gets... Tricky. When you click the "install now" button after the language selection, it just gives me a screen that says "setup is starting" and stays there for the next 30-60 minutes (yes, I actually waited it out). After which it will take me to drive/partition selection, which will refresh for another 20 or so minutes and then let me select a partition. After around 20-25 minutes, I get an error "cannot be installed on this drive" and the setup cancels and starts all over again. Now, I think it's because of the weird RAM config, I open it up and take the 1gig stick out, now it's just 4gigs, should be no issues from this point, right?? Nope, the laptop doesn't like the 4gig stick and shuts off as soon as I hit the power button. Tried the 1gig stick, boots up like a charm and even boots I to the win10 installer. Now, it's still stuck at the same screen "setup is starting". I still think it's bad RAM. Any help/tips are appreciated. Thanks guys. Note : BIOS is super basic, there's not a lot of options to fiddle. If anyone wants pictures for my issue, I am more than happy to provide them for further clarification.

I've got a pre-built Acer Aspire TC-603 (i5-4440, 8GB ram, 1TB hard disk) to which i've added an GTX-1050ti. I've been planning to add an SSD to my PC. Only problem was, there was a password to get to the bios. In order to remove te password I used the CLR_CMOS jumper on the motherboard. The password was removed and I got acces to the bios setup utility. After saving and closing I get a black screen with: "Reboot and Select proper Boot Device or Insert Boot Media in selected device and press a key". I've never had any boot-problems before. It looks like the hdd is still being detected by the bios, also the boot sequence looks ok to me. Does anyone have some advice for me? In advance, thank you all very much for helping me out! Greetings!

I am thinking of upgrading the boot drive by buying m.2 ssd. But the website of acer does not show the upgradeability of my device. (Acer Aspire E15. E5-576G-59AB) I am asking if this is a NVME M.2 port or SATA M.2 port.

Hi. I am currently using an Acer Aspire E15 laptop non removable battery, bought back in November 2016. The issue is it randomly shuts down while on Battery mode only at anytime and anywhere but not that often but it can still be powered on after that. However lately.. It shuts down randomly on battery mode that often that it cannot be powered on after that. It can only be powered on after being plugged in charging or let it remain charged. Its like sparking up the engine. What worries me is that it can only be powered on when plugged in to give a spark and turn off and that it happens regularly. P. S. I'm a broke archi student and this laptop is like my companion for me to finish my final year...

Hi all, I just got an Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD as my mobile work/gamehorse so here are some views, benches and opinions on this machine. First the Specs: The laptop comes with not much in the box but itself, the power adapter and some warranty notes. Inside of the machine as follows: CPU: Intel Core I5 7200U (2 physical cores + 2 logical cores equaling 4 threads) RAM: 4gb soldered directly to the motherboard, and additional 4gb in the expansion socket (Only one ram expansion slot available) Storage: a Kingston M.2 Sata 128gb SSD, a WD Blue 1 TB 2.5" hdd Display: Full HD IPS GFX: due to Optimus tech on low performance applications, as well as on powersaving, using the Intel HD 620, on demanding applications it switches to the build in NVidia MX150. Keyboard: white backlit, toggle able on or off, no extra dimming. Connectors: left: SDCard reader, USB 3.0 type A, HDMI, USB 3.1 Type C (no thunderbolt), Gigabit LAN, Kensington lock. right: combined headphone/mike jack, 2x USB 2.0, power input The Device itself: Now for some benchmarks: Haven (Full HD, Tesselation Normal, 4x AA): 3D Mark 11 Basic Edition 1280 * 720 : 4482 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/12337099 3D Mark Basic Edition Firestrike (Default Settings) : 3092 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/21771880 Atto Disk Benchmark (first SSD, then HDD): Crystal Disk Mark (first SSD, then HDD): As for games: Witcher III Wild Hunt Settings: Full HD, NVIDIA Hair Works only Geralt, Hairworks AA x2, Number of background charakters medium, shadow quality medium, terrain highest quality, water quality high, grass amount low, texture quality high, sight range high, details high. In this setting I throttled Witcher to 30 FPS max. The game runs smoothly and nice to look at. Not as good as on the GTX 760 on the Desktop, but well nice enough. The fan is running at a medium speed, definetly easy to hear, but not as disturbing due to a higher pitch. Temps in game around 60-75 °C. Anno 2205 Settings: All on medium, Full HD Here again, the fan is clearly cranking up, but the game stays fluent. Scrolling like a madman around the map, no problem for this little machine. Temps went as high as 65°C. An older funny MMORPG called Everquest II which even grinds down modern hardware due to its bad code is able to run at 30 fps without getting too noisy. Overall look and feel: The machine is, measured on its specs, a nice allround laptop. The games I play I can do so in medium to high settings, depending on the people nearby. The little cooling fan can ramp up so that it sounds like a mini jet engine, but usually keeps its turn in max medium speed. Running the 7zip Benchmark it didn't even spin up. This as well as in normal desktop/web browsing/vid watching mode, the laptop is dead silent. Starting Windows from a complete off takes around 10-15 seconds. Shutting down takes longer usually, as funny as it sounds. Loading times from things stored on the SSD always feel snappy. Even most games installed on the HDD feel nice in terms of loading times. The exception here is Witcher III, here compared with stored on a SSD, the loading times take a while. The speakers deliver a really nice sound in the medium and high frequencies, they lack though in the base department, like most laptops do. For watching a movie or listening to music, with the little lacking sub frequencies, the sound always stays crystal clear, even on max volume. There are some nice energy saving features. For example on battery, when you stop typing for a while, the keyboard backlight shuts down. A single "Any key" press, lets the backlight come back on. Now the battery life test I did on it was just a plain defrag of the HDDs 250gb with O&O Defrag 19.5 in mode "Access". It is still running but nearly finished now. While it ran a 100% disk usage on the HDD I browsed a little and kept the screen from suspending at a brightness of 40%. The battery gone down from around 95% to 10% in around 5 hours. Keeping in mind a disk at 100% usage draws more power than an idling one that even suspends every now and then... In regard of this I might say a runtime of 6-7 hours may be achievable. My conclusion, this machine is worth the € 729,- Amazon wants for it. It is no highend gaming machine, but powerful enough to run the stuff I threw at it without lagging or stuttering. As long as the fan isn't cranking on max, even the noise is quite bearable. Typing on the backlit keyboard is quite fun as well, the haptic is nice, the hub of each key long enough and the resistance not that high. So even typing long time on it is fun. The Touchpad is excellent. the fingers glide around on that metal thing, nearly as nice as on a Surface books glass touchpad. The two buttons though are a little funny to press, a feel of wobblyness when pushing down, while nothing really wobbles, just like pressing down on a hard jelly. The clicking point though is precise. I think the pad will get better after a little use. Else it supports multi finger gestures, scrolling with two fingers, tapping two fingers is a right click, tapping with three fingers open Cortana/Windows search. Resizing images just like on a smartphone with pinching or stretching apart two fingers. It may sound funny to hear, but the old Travelmate I have doesn't have this luxury things in its abilities. For further questions feel free to ask. Cheers Anghammarad

Hello, everyone I was wondering what my case form factor was so that I could get a new case that is a little better. I have an Acer Aspire ATC-780A-UR12 from Micro Center. Is there a way to determine the form factor of this case, or if it is a proprietary form factor for Acer themselves. Thanks, A New Gamer
