Notebook problem I have Acer light 370pcx model.it give message as "keyboard error or key board not connected" and after that it asks to "Insert system diskette and press enter key to reboot".I dont have that and my cd drive is also not working.what should I do?kindly help.

From working for Acer Repair centre this message means your hard drive or SSD drive depending on model has a fault with it and is broken the only way around this is to buy a new one or if its in warranty you will need to send it in for repair usually free if its covered. Kronoguy.

There is a loose connection between the hard drive and motherboard of the computer, that's why you are getting that message. You most likely need to take it to a computer repair shop so they can fix it.

Hello.

This error can refer to hardware or software, depending on various circumstances.

Most likely, you have damaged system files.

You didn't indicate, but figuring that you have Vista, run System Recovery:

1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.
2. Press a key when the message indicating "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD …". appears.
3. Select a language, a time and currency, and a keyboard or input method, and then click Next.
4. Click Repair your computer.
5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, choose the drive of your Windows installation and click Next
6. At the System Recovery Options Dialog Box, click on System Restore.
7. Follow the System Restore Wizard instruction as usual and choose the appropriate restore point.
8. Click Finish to restore the system.


Hope this helps.

try system restore. since you dont have a start button, try the shortcut key on the keyboard Simply press the Windows Key + R to open Run from the keyboard. then type: %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe then press ok

you can replace it, just ask with same model.

There are factors we need to consider for us to be able to come up with an answer.

These are the things i can say for now.

1. Laptop keyboards are very delicate unlike desktops, so too much press in a key can cause this problem.
2. Is your laptop keyboard still works after showing a :KEYBOARD ERROR"? If yes, the system is just confuse, maybe the driver of your keyboard malfunctions every time you open your computer.
3. If it is nt working after the error message, the driver or even the keyboards itself malfunctioned.
4. Have a technician look inside your laptop (experienced laptop technician) and ask them to check the wiring between the system board and your keyboard. I guess there's just a key stuck in press mode that's causing the error.

This is all for now, i cannot give an exact answer since i don't have your laptop to check personally.

If you have anymore questions regarding this problem, feel free to update this post.

Simply press the WiFi on/off key (it's the first key from left to right, between the "Power" button and the laptop's keyboard). A message should appear on the screen telling about the WiFi adpter's state (on or off).

Glad if I could help!

reload the driver once in windows. unload key board drivers. and let it seek the key board and mouse again.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/howard_079189dd4959a511

try if an external keyboard works. if another keyboard works, you have to call acer to ask how you can go about replaceing the keyboard.

could be a bad connection underneath..remove keyboard, after the panel that covers above the kb. The small board my have become dislodged(should be tagged down with two screws). If not that, then motherboard is unhappy.

got backup for your Acer?
