I'm switching the Components of My Acer Aspire AX1301-U1312 into new Larger Computer Case, though I don't know where the cords for the Front of my Case Go. I am using a Thermaltake VM30001W2Z V4 Black Edition. The Installation booklet tells me to look at my Motherboard Manual, Though I do not have one. What do I do?

Look at the pins where the wires used to plug on the mainboard. You may see fine print there that tells you what each set of pins does (if youre lucky). If not then look at where the wires go from the plug that used to go to the mainboard and trace where each set goes to in the old case and then plug in your wires accordingly. If you plug your wires into the same places the old ones went then worst case is you have an indicator light that doesnt light up. In that cas turn the plug for that light around and it should then make the light work.
Another way is trial and error. First take the power switch wires and start plugging them onto pairs of pins while holding the button. At some point you will make the computer start up. Then you know that more than likely you have the right pins. Then you can try the same way with the lights etc. till everything works. Its the hard way but I didnt see a model number of the board just the computer. If you give the numbers off the mainboard we may be able to find a manual but not likely.

Dont forget to swap your Windows Sticker to the new case so you dont have problems reinstalling Windows later.

Hope this helps... Dale

My Acer Aspire Desktop monitor won't come on. The monitor is black

Make sure the power cord is plugged in, same with the video cord. See that the video cord is plugged into the back of the computer case. Is there an LED light on the front of the monitor, does it glow? Try the monitor on another computer as a test. Try another monitor on the computer case. What didn't work? Also look at the pins where you plugged in the monitor and the case. Are they bent?

My acer aspire zc 606 desktop will not turn on. I have tried unplugging power cord holding power button down for 45 secs. Is there anything else I can do?

First, you should remove the power cord from the PC before opening the side panel. Second, you should avoid static electricity by touching a bare metal part of the case before touching anything else in the computer. It's possible that the power on/off switch on the front panel of your PC is faulty. Inside the case on the motherboard you will find several wires coming from the front panel which connect to pins on the board. one wire is labeled PWR. Unplugging this wire reveals the pins which are very close together. Using a screwdriver to touch both pins at once will power the computer on. Of course, the power cord must be reattached in order for this trick to work so be extremely careful! If the PC is still under warranty then attempting to replace the on/off switch yourself may void the warranty.
The other possibility is that the power supply, or the cpu, or the motherboard itself is faulty. In this case, take it to a computer repair shop.

Acer aspire ax1301

Try to locate the bad capacitor(s) on the board responsible for the hassle. They usually bulge on top or leak when they go bad.

Any board that fits will work - just get one that is compatible with your memory and processor and you are good to go.
If you check the website for your computer under support you can get the info you need for both your mo bo as well as the proposed one and you can take it from there.

I'm not sure what that error means, but the first drive is usually drive 0 on computers. Maybe this will help. You can verify in BIOS. gl

The unit lost communication to the hard drive. You need to physically re-seat the drive and make sure BIOS sees it.

Acer ax1301 won't power on

It's very possible that when your power supply died so did your motherboard. Especially if a power surge was involved..

I need a coprocessor driver for my acer aspire ax1301-e9202, does anyone know where i can find one?

Hello!
I don´t know what is the system on you comp., but I see on acer site that have only drivers for windows 7, and you don´t need coprocessor driver, or you can with the windows 7 update driver.

I hope that was helpful.

Hi We have an Acer T120 with a faulty power on off switch. The housing which sits under the switch on the front panel has broken. Do you know whether it is possible to buy a replacement...

Hi Jean,
I don't believe it would be economically viable for you to purchase the front panel which houses the on/off switch. This may prove costly.
I would rather look out for a new case with power supply and transfer your motherboard etc. to the new case.
You should be able to get a new case & power supply from your local PC shop for under $50.
Best wishes,
Graemevm
