System Utilities
BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built in the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) of computer. Generally speaking, the computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not need to run this utility. However, if you encounter configuration problems, you may need to run Setup. Otherwise, you can also refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when problem arises.
Invoking BIOS Setup

To activate the BIOS Utility, press F2 during POST (when Press <F2> to enter Setup message is prompted on the left-bottom side of the screen). There are six prime items in the BIOS Setup Utility. They are Information, Main, Advanced, Security, Boot and Exit. In the coming pages, we will explain the BIOS Setup Utility by item. Part Information Main Security Boot Exit Description Display the system informations. Allows the user to specify standard IBM PC AT system parameters. Provides security setting of the system. Allows the user to specify the boot options. Allows the user to save CMOS setting and exit Setup.

If the main board to switch board FPC is connected correctly, then check if the FFC on the touch pad PCB is connected properly. 5. If the FFC on the touch pad PCB is connected correctly, check if LS851 JP1 Pin6 = 5V are pules. If yes, then replace switch board. If not, then go to the next step. 6. Replace the touch pad PCB. 7. If the touch pad still does not work, then replace the FPC on Track Pad PCB. After you use the touchpad, the pointer drifts on the screen for a short time. This self-acting pointer movement will occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the touchpad pointer. This symptom is not a hardware problem. No actions are necessary to be taken if the pointer movement stops in a short period of time.

Intermittent Problems
Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when a recurring problem exists. When analyzing an intermittent problems, follow the procedures below: 1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least 10 times. 2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU. 3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors.
Chapter 4
86
Undetermined Problems
The diagnostic problems does not identify which devices fail, which devices are incorrectly installed, whether a short circuit happens, or whether the system is inoperative. Note: Verify if all devices attached are supported by the computer. Note: Verify if the power supply used at the time of failure is operating correctly. You can refer to Power System Check. Follow the procedures below to isolate the failing FRU. Do not isolate non-defective FRU. 1. Power off the computer. 2. Visually check the devices. If any problems are found, replace the FRU. 3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices: Non-Acer devices Printer, mouse, and other external devices Battery Pack Hard disk drive DIMM CD-ROM / Diskette drive module PC cards
4. Power on the computer. 5. Determine if the problem has been resolved. 6. If the problem does not recur, reconnect the removed devices one at a time until you find the failed FRU. 7. If the problem remains, replace the following FRU one at a time. Do not replace a non-defective FRU. System board LCD assembly
