Bought a new acer laptop, but dont know how to start using it. i'm not familiar with this, thanks.. help!

Older Acer laptops use alt-F10. Newer Acer laptops use F11 to reset to factory operating system by hidden partition faster than restore cd..

Hi

I have recently bought myself a Acer Aspire 5742
and mine does not have the bluetooth facility built into it
but i have a usb bluetooth dongle if ever i should need it
they are not very dear on ebay

many thanks

Hello,

If you are using Windows XP, open My Computer and look for the camera icon.

If found double click on it to activate the webcam


Thanks

If it came with a disk, reinstall the sound drivers. If you have no disk you might have to install a new soundcard. I bought a external USB soundcard and it fixed my prob. Hope this helps.

HELLO..if you convert the memory and it is you experienced these problems may be the memory you bought is not compatible with laptop, can the FSB memory is high and the laptop is low and they do not match the FSB, or try to install a new OS / windows...GOOD DAY

Are you familiar with how to replace the hard drive yourself?

you can use system restore which is found in the help menu or by going into safemode this should restore the program let me know if i can help any further !

that way it won't work you have to first remove your RAM and insert the new one and start it

first, I would check screen cable. try replacing it with a new one, you will be surprised to know how many display problems are are caused by a defected screen cable.
in case this is not the problem, it can get more complicated, but first, just in case, reinstall drivers. its a long shot, but if you get lucky it will save you alot of pain. in case it didn't help, It's probably a bad vertical output chip. if you have some familiarity with monitors and decent soldering skills you could probably fix it yourself, but I would advise looking into taking it to a shop, or at least find an experienced hobbiest if you're not yourself. It's a pretty straightforward fix for someone who knows what they're doing.

Good Luck/Please dont for get to Vote.

i dont think so, no, if you press the button on the front it will probably say 'no device', most acer laptops don't have bluetooth, purchase a usb bluetooth dongle if you wish to use your phone with it.
