Frequently Asked Questions - Aspire One 571hk ACER

How to turn the computer on and off?

To turn on, press the Power button located at the top left of the keyboard. To turn off, use the normal Windows procedure (Start > Shut down) or hold the button for a few seconds in case of a freeze.

What to do if the touchpad stops working?

Check that the touchpad is not disabled. Press the Fn + F7 key combination (or the key with a touchpad icon) to enable or disable it. If the problem persists, restart the computer.

How to connect the computer to a Wi-Fi network?

Make sure Wi-Fi is enabled via the Fn + F3 key or the dedicated button. Click the network icon in the taskbar, select your network, enter the password, and connect.

The battery doesn't hold a charge. What to do?

Check the battery status via the indicator light: orange when charging, blue when full. If it discharges too quickly, replace it (it is removable). Refer to the guide for removal.

How to use the built-in numeric keypad?

Enable Num Lock with the Fn + F11 key (or Num Lock key). The central keys will then act as a numeric keypad. Disable it to return to letters.

How to reset the computer to factory settings?

At startup, press Alt + F10 to launch the Acer recovery tool. Follow the on-screen instructions. Warning: this erases all personal data.

Where to find the computer's serial number?

The serial number is usually on a label stuck under the computer. It can also be displayed in the BIOS (press F2 at startup) or in Windows system information.

For more on how your computer can help you to be more productive, please refer to the AcerSystem User Guide, which contains detailed information on such subjects as system utilities, data recovery, expansion options and troubleshooting.
