You can either right click on the bottom taskbar and click on properties
and add the volume to the taskbar, or you can go to start, control panel,
sound, and turn up the volume.

It depends on what you are using to send email, outlook express
or a email like yahoo,hotmail. live google, if you use one of these
you do it with these site.

The touch pad has two buttons, it can do everything a mouse does.
The touch pad just moves the mouse, the left and right button is the same as mouse buttons.

If there are volume keys on the keyboard, they will have an icon of a speaker on them.
Very few laptops have this feature.
Drag select of text (which is what I think you are talking about) is something you will have to learn to do well on the new machine.
If you want additional help with setting up function keys (F1-F12 at the top of most keyboards) to control the volume, please let me know which operating system and version you are using, since they are all different, and it may not be possible on some.
You can use the volume icon in the lower right corner to control the volume on most Windows computers.
If you just click on the text or name you want to delete and use the <del> key to delete one way (->) and the <backspace> key to delete the other way (<-) You should be fine.

Hi i have got a new keyboard and wish to change it on acer 7520

taken from http://www.batterycentury.com/acer-aspire-7520g-502g25mi-keyboard-p-152819.html

Acer Aspire 7520G-502G25Mi Keyboard Repair and ReplacementAre you considering laptop keyboard repair? You might think twice if you happen to be the lucky owner of a laptop, because replacing the keyboard rather than repairing it could be a lot less expensive. Laptop keyboard replacement on this particular model is very easy and takes just a few minutes. Here is a quick Acer Aspire 7520G-502G25Mi Keyboard repair tutorial with step-by-step instructions. Once you have purchased the new keyboard, all you need to replace the old with the new is a screwdriver and something plastic, flat and thin like a credit card or guitar pick.
Step one: Remove the two screws from the bottom of the computer that are holding down the Acer Aspire 7520G-502G25Mi Keyboard bezel. The bezel is the bar that sits right above all the function keys.
Step two: Turn the computer over, open the cover and insert the credit card or guitar pick between the bezel and the laptop screen. The bezel has pegs that sit in holes, you need to slowly pry up the bezel. It will make a bit of a popping noise as it is removed.
Step three: Now hold on to the laptop keyboard from the end closest to the screen and gently pull it away from the touch-pad end and flip it over. You will see the ribbon attached to the underside of the Acer Aspire 7520G-502G25Mi Keyboard. There is a little plastic connector holding the ribbon to the computer. To unlock it, carefully pull up on the two tabs; one located on each corner of the connector. Be very gentle when you do this as this is the one part that gets broken the most often when changing a keyboard. The ribbon cable will now be released.
Step four: Carefully pull the ribbon out of the connector and remove it along with the entire Acer laptop keyboard.
Final step: To insert the new Acer Aspire 7520G-502G25Mi Keyboard, place the board face down so you have easy access to the ribbon. Make sure the keyboard is lined up so when you flip it back over the keys are in the correct position. Keep the ribbon straight at all times; twisting it could damage it. Place the ribbon in the connector; it only goes in one way. Once in place, push down on the connector tabs to lock it. Now flip the keyboard over and slide it down toward the touch pad and take the bezel and line the pegs up with the holes and push it in place. Then turn the computer over and replace the two screws you removed from the bottom. You can now power on your computer and see if the Acer Aspire 7520G-502G25Mi Keyboard works. If it is not working, more than likely the ribbon was not inserted properly.

Hi i i have a acer D260 Netbook and i spilled chicken stock on the keyboard and its not working what should i do?

Hi !

If the keyboard is damaged or some keys are not functioning well. It is not repairable, but the whole keyboard can be replace by new one. Try to find computer repair shops that install new keyboard for your laptop. Normally, they have keyboard part in every computer. Good Luck.

Acer lAPTOP ASPIRE 4720Z SERIES keyboard problem !

Hi:
There is not much you can do to repair your keyboard, but the good news is that they are not too expensive, and are easy to swap out, with a little effort. Usually they are $20 or less for a new laptop keyboard. I have swapped out dozens of them, and the instructions to replace them are available on the internet. If you are going to attempt this yourself, you need to get a replacement keyboard, and if you need step by step instructions, let this forum know. A computer shop can also swap your keyboard in about 10 minutes or less for a small charge too!
