I'm hearing some unwanted sound after I turned-on my acer netbook. Also the monitor is keeping on blinking when the sound comes out. It's like a sound of a small blower or a small dynamo. I'm afraid that it might get blasted if I turned it on again.

Hello

OK, now, the only components in your computer which actually rotates which can explain the the sound you are hearing is either the CPU fan or the CD/DVD rom or the Hard Drive.

You can test if it is the CD/DVD rom by opening your CD/DVD rom while starting the computer up. If the sound persists, it is most probably your CPU fan.

The reason for your CPU fan to rotate at high speeds is most likely the result of the CPU itself not getting the sufficient cooling, hence the fan needs to rotate faster.

I would suggest that you have a look into the matter if it is your CPU fan, because this might cause your CPU to become faulty when it overheats. You can open up the unit and use some compressed air to get rid of all the unwanted dust particles on the CPU heat sink and fan.

Fell free to let me know if you need any further assistance.

Kind regards
Andrea

Set the bios password and forgotten whaat it is

You need to preform a Acer Aspire One BIOS Recovery

instructions here: http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/acer-aspire-one-bios-recovery.html

Summary:
You need a flash drive formatted as fat (Right click on drive. Click format. Select fat for file system. Press start)
Down load the bios 3310 from here: http://macles.blogspot.com/p/acer-aspire-one-bios.html
Extract all files. Put both FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file with FD suffix in the root directory of the flash drive. The files must not be in a folder. Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD before proceeding. It only works with this exact filename.

Make sure laptop is off and has battery and power plugged in.

Plug in flash drive to netbook. Press Fn and Esc simultaneously, keep them pressed and press the power button. Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds. The power button starts blinking at this point. Press it once. The netbook will now access the files on the flash drive and initiate flashing the BIOS. After a while the power button stops blinking, and the netbook reboots by itself. Wait patiently.

If it doesn't reboot, but keeps blinking, wait at least a few minutes before turning it off, and try again.

I replaced a cracked lcd screen on my wife's toshiba netbook NB205-N313/P. First let me describe what happened. The netbook fell and the screen cracked and I connected to an external monitor and had to...

Check the ribbon-cable between the motherboard and the LCD screen. It is not transmitting 100% of the video-information.
Be sure that it is not "crinkled", and that it is tightly connected at each end.

I have an Acer Aspire One and unfortunatley I put it into standby mode as did not want to shut down. I can't seem to get it to come back on. i have powered off taken the battery out tried to restart and...

Just sounds like the black screen of death... It happened to me after I turned it off normally.

Here’s what you need:
  1. USB Memory stick (as low as 128mb)
  2. Another PC with a net connection
  3. WinZip, WinRAR, or some other program that can extract zip files.
  4. A quick visit towww.acer.com
  5. Your Acer Aspire One, that will power up/turn on, but the screen does not come on.
And here’s what you do:
  1. Go to www.acer.com and go through the DRIVER support pages until you get the Aspire One driver page for your relevant Aspire One model (110/150/751)
  2. Click on the tab on the download area that reads ‘BIOS’ even if it looks like you can’t click on it (their site design grays it out but it’s there) and download the BIOS file numbered 3310 (it might have changed version recently but do it) and don’t worry, you can trust this file, as it’s from Acer directly.
  3. Extract the zip once downloaded and find in the DOS folder the files ‘flashit.exe’ and 3310.fd
  4. When you’s ve found them, rename 3310.fd to ZG5IA32.fd and put this renamed file and ‘flashit.exe’ onto the USB memory stick
  5. Put the USB in the Aspire One and hold the keys ‘FN’ (function) and ‘Esc’ (escape) and keep them held when you turn the laptop on
  6. Watch the power button and when it starts flashing, press it once (DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE)
  7. You should notice the USB (if it has a light) blinking as well… The netbook has started ‘flashing’ the BIOS and after about 7 minutes, the netbook should shutdown and reboot itself and VOILA! The screen should turn on just fine.
It took my three times but this IS the proper solution! I am now very happy with my Aspire One that still works!

This is tried and tested. It took me three times because I messed up step 6 a couple of times but my netbook worked after the third attempt.

My Acer ONE netbook will not startup. I plug it

Hello,
power is there in your system so try following DIY:
1.Refix the battery once.
2.Any windows sound is there or not while turning on? if yes then issue with LCD.
2.Please check while turning on all the LEDS asre blinking for a once or not? If not, then the issue is with mainboard.
3.If the LEDs are blinking once and there is no display then the issue might be with RAM and refix them once.
If refixing doe not rsolve the issue then need to change.

Thanks.

System will not boot

Unfortunatley, its sounds like some type of hardware failure, either graphics chip, inverter or similar. It would be difficult to say which without a detailed inspection. I would recommend taking it to a repairer if it is out of warranty, or contact acer for more advice.
