Fn key not working for other keys with my Windows 10 Aspire V5-552P

0
0

Everytime I press the Fn key to use it for brightness, volume, etc. my documents page opens up. I've tried pushing Shift + Fn + Numlock but nothing so far, among other things (like Hotkeys Launch and such). Then again, I'm not the most tech savvy but I haven't been able to adjust my brightness in a while. Please help, beautiful people!


Acer Aspire VN7-571G-56GV - Add M.2 SSD

0
0

Hi, I would like to add an M.2 SSD to my Acer laptop, and I was wondering what the specifications of the M.2 slot on my VN7-571G-56GV are:
1) What is the size of the slot (i.e. 2260, 2280)?
2) What is the connector (is it connector B or is it connector M)?
3) What bus does the M.2 slot operate on (is it PCIe or is it SATA)?

 

Thanks!

V3-572G - Wifi Adapter Failure - Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260

0
0

I have had this problem for a couple months now. Basically, my wifi drivers keep failing/uninstalling and my attempts to save them/reinstall them continue to prove unsuccessful. It will occur both during use/on startup that the wifi driver will disapear. (no ability to connect to wifi/does not appear in device manager) I have tried reinstalling drivers with some success but no permanant solution. I am running the latest version of Windows 10.  

The error follows a linear progression 
1. Wifi looses internet access
2. All other wifi networks cannot be found 
3. The wifi network I am connected to cannot be found
4. Device Manager Error (It says: No drivers are installed for this device)
5. The driver is not in device manager and I can only use ethernet 

In the events log (when I can see the device) the error is 
Device not started (NETwNb64)

Device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B1&SUBSYS_40708086&REV_BB\4851B7FFFFD2D64C00 had a problem starting.

Driver Name: oem61.inf
Class Guid: {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Service: NETwNb64
Lower Filters:
Upper Filters: vwifibus
Problem: 0x15
Problem Status: 0x0

I have attempted MANY fixes, which include:
Restarting computer 
Repairing drivers 
Windows updates
Uninstalling/Installing drivers (Including Intel 17.0.0.34, 17.0.5.8, 17.15.0.5, 18.11.0.8, 18.33.3.2, 19.10.0, Atheros 10.0.0.321 and Broadcom 12.0.1.653)
Untoggling "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
Disabling/Enabling Driver
System Restore
Factory Reset

No attempted fixes are guaranteed to solve but some have managed to keep the wifi working for weeks. Other times only minutes. It is because of their (albeit limited) success that I feel like this is not a hardware issue but I could vary much be wrong given my limited experience. 

Thanks for the help!
 



Clean install of Windows 10 - nothing but problems with sleep/hibernate

0
0

I've got the Aspire V5-571 running Windows 10 on a clean install 1TB SSD. I know this OS is not officially supported on this laptop, but I previously ran Windows 10 on this laptop perfectly fine after updating Windows 8/8.1 to Windows 10 in March on my old hard disk drive. Just to clarify, I never had any issues with sleep (or anything else) when I had WIndows 10 before.

 

But now I am having no end of problems with sleep. It's totally random too, an intermittent problem - sometimes my laptop will wake instantly to the lock screen after being asleep, sometimes it will just sit at a blank screen and nothing happens. This is also the case when resuming from hibernate mode - it will sometimes wake perfectly fine, but other times after the Windows/Acer boot logo, it just does nothing on a blank screen and the only option is to turn it off.

 

I am trying to eliminate certain things and one thing I've read a lot about is potential keyboard drivers causing issues with sleep and power management. And I notice in device manager under Keyboards, I have listed a "Standard PS/2 keyboard"

I can't fully remember what my previous Windows 10 installation said in Device Manager for the keyboard, but I am pretty sure it used to be a HID Keyboard Device, not a PS/2 keyboard. Can anybody else with this laptop, running either Windows 8 or Windows 10, please look in their Device Manager and tell me what the keyboard entry is/should be? Because I would be surprised if it was PS/2 as I thought all devices like that ran through the USB bus now (HID)? I was wondering if this could be causing any problems with my power management issues. Long shot I know, but like I said, I am trying to play a game of elimination. 

 

Anybody else having these similar sort of problems after doing a clean install of Windows 10? Like I said, it ran perfectly fine without a problem on my previous Hard Disk Drive - I only got an SSD to speed things up a lot, but I seem to have ran into all sorts of problems doing a clean install.

 

Thanks for any feedback Smiley Happy

Hello everyone, I actually finished AA Computer Science last 2013, but one week before graduation, I suffered my 2nd stroke (the 1st one was in 2001).. So, I suffered more memory loss, long and short (and many more complications). I tried to put back the battery, because the numbers, backspace, & Scrolls doesnt work.  Since I fogot where to "hold" the computer after putting it back, I could not use it anymore. I'm presently taking BS IT Management online (to help sharpen the dulling gray cells), so I neded to use my laptiop all day; it is almost the end of the term. I would appreciate it very much especally if you could reply soon. Please Help! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

V3-574G screen ICC profile

0

Hi,

Just to share icc profiles for V3-574G. Mine came with an LG IPS panel LP156WF4. I don't know if all V3-574G have the same panel and it is a condition to use the profile.

They were done using an Xrite i1 Display pro colorimeter, set to match a 6500k whitepoint.

Here is the ICC V2: [edited to comply with guidelines]

And the ICC V4: [edited to comply with guidelines]

I recommend ICC V4 as it is the latest standard but you may face display problems with old softwares like Windows picture viewer (you have to use Photos store app). If so you have to choose the V2 version.

 

Bye bye horrible blue white that hurts the eyes ! and your pictures will look better. However, this screen is not high-end: it does not reach sRGB standard (only 70% if I remember well), but calibrated you still have a quiet decent contrast of 800.

 

If you don't know how to install a color profile in windows or even in linux, google it.

 

cheers

Can't clean install from USB/DVD windows 10 x64 on brand new SSD on Aspire V3-772G

0

Hello everyone,

After some reading and research I decided to ask you for help, because I can't ger trough this problem by myself.

 

I have a V3-772g laptop and I have used it with windows 8.1 since and not a single problem what so ever.

 

A few days earlier I have bought a brand new 240GB SSD and I decided to try how it would be with windows 10.
The problem that I am experiencing is that I can't boot windows 10 x64 fron USB or DVD.
I have switched the bios to legacy boot, have made the USB hdd first boot device and after that the DVD/CD drive but every time when it try to boot the instalation screen of the windows 10 I see for a second the logo of the windows, after that black screen with a flashing "-" in the upper left corner and after not more that 10 seconds I get a orange screen with some kind of vertical stripers. After some research I find out that this is a BitLocker screen and because there are some fonts problems in some computers it does not displays it correctly and you are seeing this orange think...but how can I get such a screen when I haven't activated it and moreover I am trying to intall windows 10 on a brand new SDD drive. With windows 8.1 x64 I can make a clean copy without any problems and I can boot it from usb/dvd and I am pretty sure that if I make a bootable SD card and put it the card reader I could boot even from there if the boot device options recognized it.

 

I have the latest bios for the laptop (Ver 1.15)...Have tried with 3 different USB drives and in every USB port just to be sure...I have made the USBs bootable with Rufus and with the Windows tool...and I haven't found someone with a similar problem like mine...

 

Just one more think to include...when I am on that "orange" screen with stripes...the computer is not "dead" ...it is responsive and when I hit enter for example I see a black screen for a less then a second and after that again the orange screen.

 

Thanks in advance for everyone's suggestions and clues that I am about to receive in order to understand and get over this strange problem.


Best wishes.

Acer V5 573G Dead After Hard Drive Swap

Hi guys, I'm taring my hair out over this, but;
I opened up my Laptop Last night to swap out the hard drive (long story) done what I had to do, put the drive back in the laptop, put the cover back on as well as the charger. Tried to boot... And nothing. No life in it what so ever, not even the battery indicator light.

I've tried unplugging the battery because it's an internal one, left it out for half an hour as well as the little BIOS battery. I've done the 'Hold the power button in for 30-45sec', and still nothing.

It's well out of warranty and definitely voided.
Hope anyone can shed some light on it.

Thanks

Acer V15 Nitro Overheating 95 Celsius

0
0

Hello all,

 

I have an Acer Aspire V15 Nitro VN7-592G running an Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor. 

I was converting a video on HandBrake, and noticed a CPU core temperature of 95 degrees Celsius on ThrottleStop. 

Alerted by the high core temperature, I opened the window, and allowed the cold, Canadian winter air at a temperature of 3 Celsius flow through the fans, and hopefully cool down the processor. When I held the PC against the window, there was no decrease in temperature. The temperature was still hovering within the range of 95-98 Celsius, even though the air being exhausted from both condensors felt cold.

I clean the condensor fins on a regular basis, and have Acer DustDefender enabled at all times.

Could the high temperatures be caused by defective thermal compound?

For the record, my old Sony Vaio F series had a 45 watt Core i7 processor, and it never got hotter than 80 Celsius on maximum load.

 

I have attached a screenshot of the CPU temperature while the CPU was working at its maximum capacity, with the PC being held outside the window.

 

Thanks!Acer VN7-592G CPU Temperature.jpg

VN7 592G Paint coming off !!!

0
0

I've recently noticed that paint has started coming off from the lid of my ACER VN7 592G. I have handled it verycarefully and that's why I don't understand where do these (six !!!)  scratches come from. Never had this problem with any of my previous laptops ( 1 x toshiba & 2 x lenovo) and they weren't handled with such care as I did with this acer.

There are 6 scratches on the left side, 1 in the center and 1 on the righthand side. 

 

 Has anyone else had the same issue or is just my laptop badly painted ????

 

Also, does anyone have a solution for these scratches ?

Firstly I bought this machine cause I like it's specs. It's replacing a smaller, slower older Dell.
But I can't find the screen setting - brightness, contrast, color.
Is there a menu for these?

I have a Aspire Nitro V17 that has a blown motherboard.

Model No is VN7-791G-73W1. Can you still get a replacement Motherboard for this model or at least one that will fit. Or is it worth trying to get motherboard repaired?
