Frequently Asked Questions - ASPIRE TC-105 ACER
How to connect the computer for the first time?
Plug the power cable into the power supply at the back of the case, then into a wall outlet. Connect the monitor, keyboard and mouse to the corresponding ports. Turn on the computer using the button on the front.
How to increase RAM?
The Aspire TC-105 supports up to 16 GB of RAM (likely DDR3). Open the case, locate the memory slots and insert compatible modules. Check the manual for compatibility details.
How to clean the inside of the computer?
Turn off the computer and unplug it. Open the case and use compressed air to remove dust from fans, heatsinks and components. Avoid using a vacuum cleaner as it can generate static electricity.
What to do if the computer does not turn on?
Check that the power cable is securely connected and that the outlet works. Try a different cable or outlet. If still nothing happens, the power supply may be defective. Contact a professional.
How to reset to factory settings?
At startup, press the F11 key (or another depending on the version) to access the recovery menu. Follow the instructions to reinstall the operating system. Back up your data beforehand.
How to connect an external monitor?
The computer has a VGA and/or HDMI output (depending on configuration). Connect the monitor cable to the graphics card (or motherboard if integrated graphics). Use the function keys (often Fn+F5) to switch the display.
What is the power consumption of this computer?
Power consumption varies by use: idle 41.3 W, sleep 2.5 W, off 0.33 W. Maximum annual consumption is 147.34 kWh. To reduce your bill, enable power management.
How to activate automatic sleep mode?
Go to the power settings of the operating system. Set sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity and turn off the screen after 10 minutes. This saves energy.
Where to find spare parts for this model?
Contact Acer customer service or check authorized dealers. Common parts like RAM or hard drive can be purchased online, but check compatibility with the TC-105 model.
How to update drivers?
Go to the official Acer website, Support section. Download and install the latest drivers for your operating system. You can also use the Acer Care Center tool for automatic updates.
