Your battery is not holding any charge it is your battery you need to get another battery from acer.

To reset the BIOS password read the information from this link.

In case of your laptop the easiest method would be using software from Hiren's Boot CD as it's pretty hard to open it up and reach for the CMOS battery or the jumper and I wouldn't recommend doing it especially if it's under warranty.

Hi,
Most notebooks have a memory access panel on the under side of the unit. Unscrew the fastener and you'll see the memory modules. These are held in by metal leaf springs on either side. Pull these away from the module and the module will move up. Pull the module out and reverse the procedure when fitting new memory. Make sure the laptop is turned off and unplugged, and make sure you are grounded whilst removing and fitting memory modules.

If you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, I think you may be pleasantly surprised as usually, if available, one is able to download, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, list of Dealers for spare part supplies and Driver downloads (if applicable) as required.

The information is normally free of charge.

See if there is a driver

I hope this helps.

DO NOT mess with the (D:) drive.

This is where your backup system files are located to restore your computer.

For the (C:) drive;

1) Burn off to disk/s or thumb drive/s, any extra personal data that you can live without having on the computer, and can always view/use later.

Pictures, Videos, Music, personal documents you have created, documents or data that you have downloaded, etc.

2) Click on Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.

Remove any programs you haven't used in a long time, and can live without.
(Or have on disk to reinstall later if you need it)

DO NOT delete any Windows programs.

3) Defragment the Harddrive.

Click on Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Rearrange items on your harddive to make programs run faster

Be sure (C:) drive is highlighted.
Click on Analyze at the bottom.
Even if the small pop up states that You Do Not Need To Defragment this Drive, do so anyway.

Once started suggest you Do Not stop it in the middle, nor lose electricity to your computer while the harddrive is being defragmented.


4) Use a Registry cleaner next.
I use CCleaner, and for two reasons.

One it's FREE.
Two it works, and works as good as the paid for versions, and better than some of the paid for versions.

If you would like guidance in downloading, installing, or using CCleaner let me know in a Comment.


Have to remove the Acer Aspire 3624WXCi motherboard to install Ram Memory?
No
Who told you that?

You Do Not have to do this with any laptop.

1) ALL power removed from the laptop. Remove the AC adapter (Charger) and Battery.

2) Laptop closed turn it over, battery compartment facing Away from you.

In the middle of the laptop is a funny shaped panel cover.
Looks like a square with a rectangle attached to the bottom of it.

The square shape has two screws at the top, and where the square shape meets the rectangle shape, there are three screws going across.
(Philips head screws > +)

Remove these screws.

The panel has a tab on one end. The end that doesn't have any screws. Lift the panel up on the end that has two screws.

The Ram Memory module/s are in the ram memory slots. (Ram memory module = ram memory 'stick')
