I have an acer aspire laptop and the symbol keys are all mixed up. For example: if you press ctrl @ " appears. If you press ctrl 2 the @ symbol appears etc

1. Restart the Acer Aspire netbook by pressing the "power" button on the netbook's keyboard or by pressing the "CTRL," "ALT" and "DEL" keys at the same time.
2. During startup, hold down the "F8" function key immediately when you see the "Acer" splash screen and the option for entering "Setup."

3. Keep pressing the "F8" key until the "Advanced Boot Options" menu appears.
If you receive a "keyboard error," restart the Acer Aspire and repeat step 2.

4. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the "Safe Mode" selection on the "Advanced Boot Options" menu.
The arrow keys are located on the right-hand side of the Acer Aspire keyboard.

5. Press the "Enter" key to execute the "Safe Mode" selection.
The Windows operating system will now start in "Safe Mode" and you can perform a system restore or make needed changes to get your Acer Aspire to boot normally again.

see this and proceed . God bless you
Arrange the screen the way you want it to appear in the print out. Press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard.

Restart your computer during the boot up process you will see which certain key/s to press to enter set up for a very short time usually the Delete or the F2 key
this will vary depending on your computer
Turn on your Acer Aspire.

Press and hold the "Ctrl" key.

Press and hold the "Alt" key.

Press and hold the "Esc" key.
This key combination will open the BIOS on your Acer Aspire.

hope this helps

Try holding the Alt or Ctrl key down, if not then look for a Function key or a blue key (not F1 -> F12)
Good Luck,

Hold down the blue "fn" button when you press the key, it will give you the alternate character.

One option is to press first CTRL and than holding that the Shift. If this does not help go to settings keyboard

Alright didn't really know what acer model you have, but this is pretty easy, you can attach your Tv to either oneof the external source outlet on your acer and Press the FN button between your left ctrl and alt key. There should be a symbol in the F keys exm, (f1, f2 ) in which i believe acer is the F5 key... that looks like a laptop'a sqaure.... Press those two keys and depending if you have it hook up to the HDMI or VGA, just press until you find the correct port via vga/svideo/hdmi.

Hold down the shift key and then press the £ sign.... for € sign hold down Alt-Gr then press 4 shift key is located under the Return or Enter key and above the Ctrl key

Hi,

Please try Ctrl+Shift+symbol key (? mark key)

Thanks and regards,

The keys to modify other keys are 'shift', 'alt gr', and in some laptops 'fn', 'ctrl' and 'alt' also affect key, but they are more use for shortcuts and less to alternate key symbols.
