Frequently Asked Questions - ASPIRE M3985-2TO ACER

What to do if the computer does not start after pressing the power button?

Check the indicator light under the power button. If it is not lit, check the voltage selector, electrical outlet, and power strip. If it is lit, remove any non-system diskette and restart with Ctrl+Alt+Del. If the problem persists, use the Windows startup diskette or contact customer service.

Nothing is displayed on the screen, what to do?

The computer may be in sleep mode. Press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse. If that does not work, restart the computer. If unsuccessful, contact your dealer or technical support.

The printer is not working, how to resolve?

Check that the printer is plugged in and powered on, and that the cable is correctly connected to the parallel or USB port. Ensure the drivers are installed.

The computer makes no sound, what to check?

Check the Volume icon in the taskbar: if it is crossed out, click to reactivate the sound. If headphones or external speakers are plugged in, the internal speakers are disabled. Also check the audio settings.

The system does not read floppy disks, CDs or DVDs, what to do?

Make sure you are using the correct type of disk and that it is inserted properly. Check that the disk is not dirty or scratched. Test with a disk in good condition. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to clean the computer and keyboard?

Turn off the computer and unplug the power. Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water to wipe the exterior and keyboard. Never use liquids or aerosol cleaners.

What are the recommended temperature and humidity conditions?

How to upgrade the system?

You can add or replace components such as the hard drive, memory, optical drive, or expansion cards. Before opening the casing, turn off the computer and unplug the power cord. Remove the screws from the side panel and slide it towards the back.

What to do in case of liquid spill on the computer?

Immediately unplug the computer and do not turn it on. Contact a qualified technician. Do not attempt to clean the interior yourself.
