I have just purchased an Acer Aspire one (XP model with 160GB HD and 6 cell battery) from Canada (I am based in the UK). It's arrived fitted with a Canadian/French keyboard which I just cannot get used to using. I have managed to source a US English keyboard. Can anyone tell me how to change it please. Thanks!

First, ensure that your power adaptor is consistantly powering your system and watch for intermittant operation with the adaptors green light. (This rules out cord breaks for shorts)

Second, all laptops have a removable battery: You can find a replacement at http://www.kahlon.com/batteries.asp

Laptop batteires serve to power your CMOS (Carbon Metal Oxide Semiconductor) on your laptop, and keeps your internal BIOS clock accurate. On Desktops, it's a lithium battery on the mainboard.

Also, check to ensure that you do not have a battery recall on the unit as well, as you may be able to get a free replacement.

If your clock is off by a few minutes, change time servers in the windows clock option. Just double click the time on the task bar, click internet time, and you can this one if you don't have it listed: nist.expertsmi.com Some are overloaded due to requests. That should keep you with arc seconds on the actual usno time clock.

Good luck.

Good luck.

SOURCE: ACER ASPIRE ONE KEYBOARD REPLACEMENT

To remove the Keyboard you'll need a flat head screw driver, there are 3 levers that holds the keyboard inplace. look closer they are above the following keys "Pause break" "F8" and "F2" (tips: remove the one in the middle "F8" first it makes life a lot easier) use the flat head screw driver and put the lever upward towards the screen and the key board should pop up

Start from the top and start peeling off the keyboard, there might be a little bit of tape sticking to the keyboard so becareful, watch out for the cable that is connecting the keyboard and the board, carefully remove the cable and the keyboard should come right off.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe

SOURCE: ACER Aspire- beeping sound - 6seconds when I power machine on

The beeps are telling you there is a hardware failure (POST). The number and length of beeps will give a better indication as to what has failed. Write back with that info and someone on this web site will interpret this for you.

SOURCE: Acer Aspire desktop computer that won't turn on.

This is most likely a power supply problem. sometimes a power surge will cause failure, even when the computer is not turned on. You can replace the whole power supply, or you could check the fuse that is inside the power supply first. on rare occasions the fuse will be the only thing blown, but that doesn't happen often.
