SOURCE: TV Tuner

Open your program files on your old HDD, Find your Tv Tuner drivers in there, Now you can either drag them onto your new hard drive or copy them into the Program files on your new Hard drive. Make sure you have them in you new one and then unhook you old HDD and Open TV tuner Files should self install. Or you could also, If you know the name of the tv tuner model and series go to Add New hardware Icon in your control panel. Do it from there when it wants you to install from a specific place choose that option then the name of the device should be there under the network option, find your device and install it from that location I sure Hope that Helps you out

1. If in Windows - Start - Programs - Acer empowering technology - Acer E-recovery management -
click on Restore at bottom then "Restore to factory default settings"
2. Or click on Burn disks instead of restore
3. if unable to ge into Windows then Alt/F10 during boot right after Acer splash screen on startup

SOURCE: Acer Aspire T180 with Vista and Hard drive not accessible

Hi, thanks... so your suggestion is to get the HD out of the present system and plug it into a drive caddy and access the drive from another system to backup all the data. Then plug back the HD into the original system and re-install the original system?

SOURCE: My acer ax1700 u3700a will not turn on. I think

When you turn it on, does it respond? Do any lights lit up? Do you have a known good ac adapter to try it with? Or is the ac adapter you are using lits up and/or powering on a different computer?Try to test both to check the functionality of the ac adapter and the port. If ac adapter will work with a different pc, then possibly the port is damaged. You may need to replace the motherboard. If still it wont turn on, then you may just need to replace the ac adapter.

On your second issue.Please follow the steps below

1. The "blue screen" normally comes up if you a faulty VGA cable or the connection is somehow loose.Please check if it is properly plug-in.

Could you please clarify what is the problem for M5640 desktop with upgrade HDD up to 2 TB. Capacities are visiable in setup and operating system properly. But format procedure is frozen exactly about 54%...

Your computer is not compatible with a Boot Hard drive with size of 2TB. The BIOS does not allow/support it.

You will need to install a smaller hard drive as the Boot drive for Windows and then use the 2TB drive as a slave drive.

2TB boot drives are supported by Intel's new 2nd Generation I3, I5 or I7 on the 1155 Socket.

Thumbs Up!

Take care!

Buying new Acer Aspire one netbook..can you answer some questions: 1. My TV has a RGB port. Will my VGA port be compatible on the Aspire One? 2. What are my options for installing programs and files from a...

There seem to be several versions of that model number 3680-XXXX. It's kind of hard to answer your questions without knowing the precise configuration of the computer you want to buy.
Take a look at just those on the first page of a Google search:
Aspire 3680-?
1. As a general comment RGB does not equal VGA although the latter contains those color lines, it also includes vertical and horizontal synchronization signals.
RGB can even vary; some versions combined sync signals with one of the color lines (usually Green for some reason) and they are separated internally then.
2. - This could be affected by changes in that sneaky -XXXX   3. It depends on both your external drive and which ports are available on the Aspire - if your drive is USB, then there shouldn't be a problem since USB ports are on any PC made in the last dozen or so years. 4. See response at 2.
You will really have to see the exact specs on the machine you are getting to answer most of your questions.
