When starting and the computer, and the acer screen is displaying, hold [FN] key and press [F6] off and on. If the screen flickers to blank and back, then leave it on the blank screen let go of all keys and wait to see if it boots up to windows screen. If it does then keyboard, mouse and USB functions should be restored.
If still no keyboard, mosue, USB function, and the computer does boot to windows screen, then try [FN] key and [F7].
I have a Acer 5100 I am facing the same prolem my USB ports stopped working and then the Keyboard the system boots but i cannot do anything like the password nor can i start in safe mode or go to set up, if somebody can help me sort this problem ,thankyou

I just had mine fixed by http://www.laptoprescuer.com/ Unfortunately, this is a motherboard problem but they were a little cheaper than the others since they were able to fix the I/O controller (which is the culprit) and not replace the whole motherboard. So with shipping back and forth it still cost me around $250. :( ...but... they did a great job and I'm and running!

I have the same problem.

i have the problem
The system reaches the login screen waiting for the password, at that point the keyboard, the touch pad and none of the usb ports are not responding.
i had the same problem. there is a little blue key on the lower left press it and then press the f7 key. otherwise it might be the motherboard!
i cant use my inbuilt mouse. i can c the mouse pointer but i couldnt move it
I sawe a post on techrepublic that help me. I have a Aspire 5100 that I purchased im May 07. First I started having problems with USB ports. Then my keyboard and mouse froze and I couldn't get in to access anything. I tried external keyboard and mouse through USBs and nothing. The post I read said to use a PCMIA card with USB ports. I was able to bypass problem and now I have temporary access to my computer. I believe there is an hardware/motherboard issue with this model. I will contact Acer again. If I dont get some help I will look into something legally. You can email me at [email protected] if you have similar issue. Thxs
Have the same problem with keyboard & mouse. I was told its the motherboard. I have also been researching this problem and found numerous complaints on other sites. I'd like to know if its possible to buy the motherboard and fix it myself, seeing I'm now passed the warranty date... Anybody try this yet?
I have had this Keyboard / mouse problem with a few Acer 5100 laptops and have not found a way to fix it. But I have noticed that if I boot the computer to a Live Linux CD I have full keyboard and mouse functionality again (yes even if I can not press F2 to go into the BIOS) Only certain Linux distributions seem to work, I have had luck with Slax Kill Bill edition and Ubuntu 7something. This wont fix XP but at least you can use the laptop.
Same problem here too! I had my 5100 for less than 2 years and the keyboard/mouse/usb went south. :( When I called Acer they just said .. "$199 to fix minor repairs".
I have the same problem... When the System reaches the Login Screen waiting for the Password, at that point the keyboard, the touch pad and none of the USB Ports are responding.
in my laptop booting is okay but keyboard is in not function i went to properties of keyboard in control panel there is a message that windows cannot driver for this hardware
My Acer Aspire 5100 PC notebook does not recognize any device plugged in to it.

I had my 5100 When the System reaches the Login Screen waiting for the Password, at
that point the keyboard, the touch pad and none of the USB Ports are
responding.help me
Would you please boot to a desktop and then:
Press and hold the Fn key plus the F7 key once;
Press and hold the Fn key plus the F11 key once.
After each sequence release both keys. Does your keyboard and touch pad return to normal?
Regards,
