Question about Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi Notebook

1 Answer

Keeps resetting Alright my dad's acer keeps resetting itself. It gets to the startup screen which is the screen with Acer across the middle and is surrounded by a white background etc. Anyways it'll just get to that screen and then it'll reset itself. I can use F2 to enter setup but that's about it. How I think the problem happened: Alright my little brother said something like Itunes wasn't working so he reset the computer. Something came up like an error message or something so I held down the power to shut it off. So was that the fatal mistake or something?

Try pressing F8 on start up this will take you into safe mode, then when the options menu comes up choose 'Last Known Good Configuration' and then press enter, for a restart. If the problem persists the boot.ini file may be damaged and you will need the windows cdrom to repair the system, if you dont have one borrow a copy off a friend and use your license number under your notebook, this is legal; as this is what you pay for not the cd.

Acer aspire one AOA110 tries to start up but keeps looping back to the startup screen. Goes throught a lenghty disk check and goes back to startup screen.
Possible hard drive errors I would say.
Try and start it from your restore disk or your System disk and back up your data them replace the hard drive.
Hope that helps.

Line across middle of screen and series of lines below that overlaying whats active on the monitor. It's a new 23 inch acer
Your screen is made up of layers in which gas is trapped. whenever any side of the screen gets cracked it may not be visible with naked eye. The gas gets released and you get a horizontal straight line blue or black. Initially it starts with a thin line and as the gas releases it keeps on getting broader. If your acer is on warranty try to replace it or else you will have to replace it out of your own pocket.

Acer screen saver keeps coming on while I'm working
It appears that you are losing the video connection between your computer and the the monitor. Remove the conector from the video card and reconnect it again, make sure the connector is firmly secure. If the problem still persists you could have a faulty video card and it needs to be replaced.

If the video card is built in on the motherboard, you still need to purchase a new video card (buy a AGP graphics card), insert into the AGP slot of your computer, you may need to disable the onboard graphics card - go into the BIOS to do this, and you need to install the new graphics card driver.

When you get the 'acer' screen at startup Hold down ALT and keep pressing F10. You need to be quick, it took several attempts for me. This takes it back to factory settings.

Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi Wireless Problem Hello all, I have been fixing computers for awhile and this is one computer that has gotten me to pull my hair out. What I have here is a Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi upgraded from XP Pro to Vista Home Premium. Problem is its wifi. I have installed the appropriate drivers and all so it should work, but what I have noticed is that the LED light that is displayed at the front consistently turns on and off. My guess is that it may be a hardware issue. Any takes?

Extremely loud fan I suspect that my cooling fan has failed. When I use the graphics card, or CPU intensively, i.e. gaming, video editing, 3d modeling and rendering, the area where the cooling fan and exhaust vent are located becomes extremely hot, and as the fan speed climbs in an attempt to compensate, it makes an increasingly loud and obnoxious buzzing. Airflow through the exhaust port is also greatly diminished compared to before this problem began. I understand that the likely solution is replacing the fan, but I cannot seem to locate any information about the part, relevant part numbers, or exploded view diagrams. I was wondering if you could either refer me to an Acer parts dealer, tell me where I could find an exploded view, or possibly how I could fix the fan. The laptop is out of warranty, and I am entirely unwilling to pay $225+shipping to have someone else replace a part that should cost practically nothing.
