Can anyone tell me how to update my bios in my Acer aspire 5610Z laptop. I installed Ubuntu Linux

I installed Ubuntu Linux in my Acer Aspire 5610Z laptop and all was fine until the latest updates came in. I inquired about the problem and I was told that I needed the newer version of bios. My laptop uses Pheonix WinPhlash bios and I cannot make it work through Ubuntu. Iwould appreciate any help that anyone might be able to give me. The keyboard does not work correctly and the person at Ubuntu assured me that it was the bios causing the problem. My laptop originally came with a Windows Vista installation disk. Thanks in advance.Rich S.

I had no problems with Ubuntu version 13. I started having problems with my keyboard after it upgraded to 14.04. I filed a bug / problem report with Ubuntu and I was told it was my out dated bios version 3.50. I went through hell trying to update it to bios version 3.60 but after many frustrating hours I finally ended up puting in Windows 2000 and updating WinPhlash through it. I had wiped my hard drive, reformatted it and it would no longer install Windows Vista. I can't figure that one out at all? After going through about two weeks of failure I finally got bios 3.60 installed. It did not change anything. The keyboard of the laptop worked just fine with Windows. When I put Ubuntu back it I had the same old ball game. I have to use a USB keyboard. I installed Ubuntu 15.04 (advice from my learned son) that produce no change either. Now, I had been going on the asumption that the fellow from Ubuntu knew what he was talking about since he assured me that it was a "buggy bios" version 3.50 causing the keyboard problem. I did a Google search only to find out that laptop keyboard problems are a very common thing with almost all versions of Ubuntu, especially version 14.04. I was told there is a Kernel 4.1 that may solve the problem but I do not understand Kernels very well and I fear I may mess things up and will have to start all over a again. I shall find out.

Acer Aspire 3820TG Graphics problem

Hello! I just recently updated my Acer Aspire Timeline X 3920TG to windows 10. The installer reported that there should be no problems, and all seemed well, installation went painless.
However, I soon discovered some problems with the drivers for the graphics card, an AMD Radeon HD 6550M. - The card is reported as a "5000 series" card, not 6000. Some people have mentioned that it is just a rebranded 5000 card, but it has shown up as 6550M before.- The HDMI connector is not working, and as such I cannot use my TV for a second screen. Worked fine before installing windows 10, but not now.- Civ 5 does not start with DX9 any more. DX 11 works fine.
- Way of the Samurai 4 has started lagging seriously. Not much framedrop, but everything is in slow motion, and it responds very slowly to controls. Again, worked fine in windows 7. I have googled for solutions, reinstalled drivers, killed all drivers and tried to reinstall both directly from AMD, Acer and Microsofts update service, but to no avail. Please help. Is this a lost cause or is there a solution?

Too bad. I took the plunge to downgrade again to windows 7, which was as easy as upgrading to 10, thankfully. Gotta give them credit for that at least.
Works perfectly in 7, so I guess I'll have to live with this until I upgrade to a newer laptop. =/

New Printer HP2540/301 Acer Aspire 1 laptop has no disk drive and an idiot user. PLEASE HELP....

I bought myself a nice new 5240 all in one 301 printer on Wednesday.
Since then i have done nothing but fight with it ever since.
My laptop is an Acer Aspire one, one of the smaller ones, which unfortunately doesnt have a disk drive in it. My first thought went to downloading drivers. The web page didnt work and i realised then, that without the user manual (which i suspect is on the disk) i am totally lost.
So could someone please help me.
I have done a print out, which says.
Check your HP printer network name (SSID) matches your wireless router network name (SSID) exactly.
If they do not match exactly, run the wireless set up from the printer software to configure your HP printer.
I am assuming this is the software on the disk. Is there a way of downloading the software from online?
Any help would be gratefully accepted as i have no clue what i am doing atm. I am only just starting to learn how to use Windows 8 properly atm, up until now my whole computer skills hass been how to open a browser and office.
Thank you.i should also add, i have downloaded the app too, but that doesnt recognise that there is a printer there at all.

Booting issue on a new installation on Acer Aspire 4752 laptop.

Hi All,
     I have done a new installation of OS on a Acer laptop stated above. However, due to some reason, during the booting up process, it will always stuck at screen right before it enter into the logon screen. I will have to press
Enter in order to move it, as if there is a "press Enter to continue...".
     After this "enter" key, everything else works normally. However, this is pretty annoying and I could not sent this laptop back to my enduser because of this trivial issue.
     Some other information as below:
This is a new OS and no other apps is installed. Though now it is patched (with Microsoft patches). But it happens since the first boot after install.
In according to Device Manager, all drivers are in place. No exclamation mark and error.
Event Viewer shows no error for the boot up.
Safemode (command prompt) shows that it is stuck at loading "classpnp.sys".
     My questions:
It will be good if there is already a resolution. :)
How to diagnose, or identify which apps actually waiting for that "enter" to move on?
     Thanks!
wsn

Hi,
For the boot issue, first I suggest you use startup repair if you have an installation disk, check if it can detect and fix some certain problems.
Or run sfc/scannow in command prompt in recovery console, check if it can make any difference.
If doesn’t work, then try “Enable boot logging”, then check the log called ntbtlog.txt, usually located in system drive\Windows.

Will lightroom 4 work with my acer aspire 5745 laptop? its windows 7

will lightroom work with the above mentioned laptop?
many thanks

I don't think anyone can really answer that at this point. I suggest you go to the Adobe Labs web site and download the RC 2 and give it a try. There's no registration required for the release candidate, and if that has a lot of bug fixes over the original release. That should give you an idea of whether or not it will work.

Acer aspire 5732z waits almost exactly 1 minute during start-up

Try to disable fast startup from windows:http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6320-fast-startup-turn-off-windows-8-a.html instructions are for windows 8 but it's the same on windows 10. please report your BIOS version if possible.

Thanks for suggestions...I updated the bios -- no change;I have now tried ubuntu from a usb stick and that started almost immediately.I also notice that when I start from shut down and press F2 for the bios settings I also have to wait almost exactly a minute for the bios settings to load!Among the settings are:Quiet boot: enabledNetwork boot: enabledF12 Boot Menu: disabledD2D Recovery: EnabledSata Mode: AHCI Don't know if any of that helps...Generally when you restart - rather than start from a hard reset it does not wait a minute...Thank again

Acer Aspire 5253 Slow with archlinux

Hello,
I have an Acer Aspire 5253 laptop with the following characteristics:
6Gb RAM
2 cpu's AMD 1.2 GHz 64-bit
Ati radeon hd 6250
500Gb HDD
Archlinux use for about a year. I have used many of the other distributions
existing linux and my experience with these has been quite frustrating.
Gnome3 - Gnome-shell:
The free drivers do not support for 3D and everything works quite slow. menus
running slow and when I open more than 3-4 windows all works pretty bad.
With proprietary drivers experience with gnome-shell is reduced to shit.
KDE:
Works better than gnome 3, much more fluid. The problem is that when I open several
windows desktop becomes slow. Eg. Use GIMP and paint with the brush is
delay between the mouse and the lines painted.
XFCE:
It works better than Gnome 3 and KDE but I wonder: Why use a archlinux
laptop with 6GB of ram and a "good" graphics card if I can not even draw
with a brush in GIMP?
Could anyone advise me to use my laptop so that you can leverage your hardware without problems?

What CUDA program are you running? The only software I use that takes advantage of CUDA is Blender, but I build it from source and it finds the CUDA libs just fine. What CUDA dev package did you install?

Xorg.conf Acer Aspire 3000 xinerama [request][SOLVED]

Anyone having an acer aspire 3000 laptop with xinerama working?
Or anyone with a "sis" driver laptop with xinerama?
I would be very very grateful if someone could post a working xorg.conf file with xinerama working for any of the above setups.
Been struggling all night with this and can't get it to work.
Or does anyone know of any tutorial that works to get xinerama up and running?
Ask2

This xorg.conf works. Acer Aspire 3000
Xinerama works nicely except its very very slow and locks up computer during some screen events, like moving a terminal and stuff.

Acer Aspire Switch 10 e keyboard dock problem

Hi. I have this brand new Acer Aspire Switch 10 E which I just bought last month. I'm now having problems with the keyboard and the dock as when I connect the tablet/screen to the dock, the keyboard is not detected. It recognizeswhen I dock the tablet but it doesn't detect te hard drive nor the keyboard. Sometime, after a long while, it detects the keyboard and the hard drive but only for a few seconds then it disappears again. Other times, it just flips continually from working and then not working. The problem is so sudden. I would jokingly note that whenever I search for solutions to the keyboard problem, it very briefly fixes itself. On a serious note however, I do not know what causes this malfunction nor do I know what fixes it. As stated above, the problem is so sudden. I have been very, very careful with the use of my laptop including in the removal and docking of the tablet. I have inspected the docking pins, and physically, they look perfectly fine. The problem occurs even the tablet has been connected and left undisturbed for continuous periods of time. This has led me to believe that the problem could be software based and not hardware. I am also open to the possibility that it could be heat affecting the docking pins (heat can cause connection issues and this isn't the first time I have encountered one, nor the second) but like I said, the docking pins work perfectly and remain constantly in contact witch each other. As I have postulated that the problem is software based, I have gone through the hassles of searching for possibble drivers for the dock/keyboard. Unfortunately, (this might be due to the Aspire Switch 10 E being a fairly new model) there were no keyboard drivers on the Acer support page for the Aspire Switch 10 E. In my search, I encountered a video for the Aspire Switch 10 keyboard to fix the problem, a driver update for the Switch 10, NOT the Switch 10 E. I have tried the solution and it still does not work. I am not a fan of forums and if I am, I am usually just a reader kind of person. But in the light of recent events and the fact that there are virtually NO questions or posts about this brand new model of laptop, specfically the Aspire Switch 10 E, I have taken the responsibility of raising this question in the hopes that a knowledgeable person may provide assistance and that the others of my kind (the Aspire Switch 10 E users) may be enlightened as well. I would sincerely appreciate the assistance. God bless. TL;DR: Aspire Switch 10 E detects docking but keyboard and hard drive are inconsistently not working. Help. Reposted this topic on the laptops forum because I realized I posted the first one in desktops.

Hi, I have a similar problem. Sometimes after waking or after removing or reataching the keyboard it becomes unresponsive. But if I then restart the computer it is fine. I think, in my case at least, it can not be due to just a bad connection, as otherwise restarting it would not change anything. Also, I don't think it is something that has been fixed as it is quite a recent purchase and I have recently updated windows and drivers. The whole reason for choosing this pc was the ease with which it converts between tablet and laptop mode so any advice would be very welcome. Thanks,Tom

Problem with touchpad and Windows 8.1. Acer Aspire E5-511

I bought an Acer Aspire E5-511, but I have problem with touchpad and Windows 8.1.The touchpad (Synaptics) is not working with Windows 8.1 x64, but it works fine with Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64.When I install Windows 8.1 and have to choose” language to install” I can’t choose anything with the touchpad. I should plug in my mouse to continue. I doesn’t work even when it’s fully installed and with latest driver (available only for win 8.1 x64) from Acer’s website. I tried with an older driver, but had no success. I updated BIOS, but it doesn’t work again. In hardware IDS in device manager it shows HID\… not ACPI\… (like win 7/8). Fn+F7 doesn’t help.When I try to install Windows7/8 the touchpad is working properly at the beginning (I can choose ”language to install”, “Time and currency format”… and the touchpad works after install even without driver).

SOLUTION So guys after deep research and troubleshooting I found that you need to keep notice of a few things at time of installation: Installation Mode: UEFI (only)- LEGACY would create touchpad issues. after installation of windows just follow the driver installation hierarchy 1.Intel NB_Chipset_M Baytrail-M 2.Intel I/O Driver then rest of the crap. Note:After doing all this make sure your touchpad is active >> Fn+F7 Just wished if this solution came from an acer executive , the world would have been a better place , but anyways this is what community is for. Enjoy everyone

Acer Aspire V5|123 - Shutting Down Problems

Hi,
I have bought an Acer Aspire V5|123 netbook yesterday. I had done a clean install of Windows 8.1 (with Pro). At the moment I was trying to do some updates on this netbook to get to the latest updates. But each time this netbook updates, the shut down method is taking like 3 mins to boot back up again which is taking longer than usuall!
I have a Compaq (from HP) computer which has Windows 8.1, the computer I use mostly is this - the boot up and shut down times are fast and quick. The operating system runs smoothly on it and it works fine and never had a problem for a few months now!
Also, the power button light stays on for like 5 mins after the Windows shut down. So, I have been surfing on the web to find a solution to this simular problem. I have found out a forum thread with someone answering about replacing the battery or replace the BIOS battery with a new one and see if that solves the problem.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Benjamin
[edited for privacy-please do not post personal or unique information such as but not limited to full names, email addresses, phone numbers, serial numbers, etc.]

UPDATE: Opened the machine to change the coin-cell battery and re-insert the memory card to see if this has solved the problem. Which it hasn't! Any solutions anybody?
