Extended warranty is always a good idea and Acer's happens to be extremely cheap in my country. Like I bought 2 years of extended warranty (total 3) with accidental damage protection for the 1st year for a princely sum of INR512. Bought another laptop for my mum next year and bought the same...
Hello all,
Just thought I'd share this with the good folk at AT forums: I upgraded my laptop's 15.6" display!!
So I was sick and tired of the 1366x768px display that came with it and asked my Acer service center (who has also worked with our company for several years) to look into a possible...
It's an expensive route to take. Sony AV cables output component video which I'd then have to somehow connect to my laptop, through maybe a TV tuner... And this is assuming I can even find a cable for the PSP-E1004.
EDIT: Turns out that this version does not support AV out through the official...

Note: This thread is also present in the gaming forum but I think I may get a better response here, given that this is more of a technical issue than a gaming issue and has to do with Windows.
Hello all,

Hello all,
I'm an avid Gran Turismo fan and I've been through 3 PSPs playing just this one game on it.
I'd like to record a few laps on the Nurburgring from my PSP E-1004. Towards this end I downloaded the RemoteJoy Lite program and ran it in order to record the screen. This led to some very...
Bump... Does anyone know of any software that does this? Only Dell seems to have it for their laptops. I don't think it should be that hard to code, why is there no third party software that can control charge? Windows already suspends charging at 100% until the battery has discharged to 95% or...
I am avoiding downloading updates from the MS website as it would seem that Windows Update is going to be installing these updates automatically. If I face issues I will take action. For now, if both KB4284848 and KB4338853 are automatically installed, I'm not seeing any problems with...
The tool only shows the entire 1803 feature as a whole... I can't select the particular update that I uninstalled.
Btw, @NostaSeronx how did you come by this fix?
It worked! Performance is legit back to normal now. I'm not installing anything from the two links you've provided since - if it ain't broken why fix it?
Thank you so much!!!
The list of models they think are okay with 1803 is certainly a lot shorter than the list for other Win10 versions.
I've written to them for now including the link I posted above, let's see what they say.
Yes, the laptop came pre-installed with Win10. I prepared the flash drive using the...
I did it myself with Flash drive. Nothing given with the laptop.
Warranty argument is valid because I purchased extended warranty that ends in November 2019.
Interestingly, Acer has listed on their website that my laptop is not suitable for Win10 update 1803 and that drivers have not been...
Oh, I thought 7 was EOL already and I didn't want to use 8.1.
I will get in touch with Acer, but how does the clean install factor in to this? I've already proven that the clean install from the older image solves the issue for sure.
The laptop was purchased on 4th November 2016.
Acer does not provide drivers for any other OS than Win10 x64. I also do not like the idea of paying for another OS when I specifically paid for Win10 with this laptop...
How is an older version of Windows that is not receiving updates, a better idea than Win10 without the latest updates?
Then I'd prefer avoiding it - I'm tired of doing the same thing over and over. Anything else you'd like to suggest besides rolling back to the previous Windows version? I'm going to be doing a clean install from the older image anyway, I don't like the idea of rolling back an OS that is this...
It's an AMD A10-9600P APU without a dedicated GPU.
I Googled, some people have had driver issues but the solutions are mixed - some report issues with older versions of Windows that are corrected with the April (1709) update, one fellow had issues with APUs on Windows 7... I didn't find anything...
I removed the graphics driver from the Device Manager, right clicked the VGA Controller that took its place, and clicked on Update Driver (Automatic). It downloaded something for maybe 5 minutes and installed the same driver version as the OE Acer AMD driver I posted earlier (22.19.163.1792). So...
I found a hybrid solution...
1. Installed older Acer OEM drivers
2. Clean installed newer AMD drivers
3. Installed touchpad drivers.
So now the touchpad is back online but that damned lag is still tempting me to throw this notebook away...
yes I was on the basic driver then.
I've been trying to explain since the first post that the stock AMD driver seems to be incomplete and causes crashes. Anyway, I installed the AMD driver and the lag was back. And my touchpad was still dead. Below is a screenshot of the components that come...
It worked rather well... Laptop response has improved a lot. Temps have also gone up.
I wish I could run it without the AMD drivers but my touchpad isn't working... And the screen keeps blacking out sometimes.
So what do I do now? Re-install the drivers from Acer?
How does one completely uninstall their drivers? I remember following some instructions from Steam support when my games kept crashing but it didn't work - my driver kept getting installed automatically after uninstalling from Device Manager.
CrystalDiskInfo has no NOK or caution warnings...
But then why would these issues crop up only after installing the 1803 update? Both tools were installed before 1803 too.
Anyway, I uninstalled both and there is no change in system behaviour.
When Avira was under use, Windows Defender stepped down and let Avira do its thing. Right now after...
Everything in general was much faster. Startup, opening Explorer, scrolling through web pages in Chrome, loading websites... Even opening the calculator used to be quicker. All of that slowed down after the update.
Memory usage is currently at 66%. Disk and GPU usage are minimal. The issues did not occur before the 1803 update.
Earlier my CPU usage used to spike when loading pages or opening Task Manager. Battery life used to be worse when I used my PC. Now the CPU usage spikes are gone, replaced by...
Hey all
I have an Acer E5-553-T4PT laptop into which I've put in a Toshiba Q300 Pro SSD. The laptop had lots of driver issues where I thought the AMD-provided drivers would gel with WIndows 10, but actually only the OE drivers worked. I used to get screen blackout issues and random program...
Back when I used to work at a supply chain company and handle parts to return to vendor, we had a sequence of instructions on what to do for Win8 key injection. I think the buck stops there - if the injected key matches the expected one by the recovery, it proceeds. Making it drive dependent...
Doing my due diligence to close this thread:
The install worked fine. Am typing this off my laptop that only has the SSD inside. Recovery disk was made using Acer Care utility when the laptop was purchased.
Shall now put in my HDD, close up the laptop and select the SSD as a boot drive...
After some reading it's clear that I can safely clear TPM. Did so, and it rebooted to go to "Installing Windows" ... I think the endeavour is going very well. HDD is sitting outside the laptop (laptop is by Acer. I asked a local Acer service centre how to go about it and they told me to not...
Well so the last thing I saw was 80% and now I'm looking up what TPM is and if it may have to do with an injected Win10 key. (I don't know much about how Win10 works)
Well the screen said it would "reinstall Windows from the recovery drive" so I removed the HDD and gave it a go anyway. Got to 20% quickly enough but now isn't budging... If this doesn't complete, I'll go ahead and backup the HDD + wipe and recover Win10 + clone to SSD...
It's 128GB, and the recovery disk drive is 16GB...
Hmmm. But given that it does put the OS back in anew (Win10 says options like "system reset" would not have been available if I hadn't chosen to backup system files when creating the recovery disk) is it not possible to select just a different...
The primary HDD does not have a recovery partition and thus I had no intentions of doing what you're suggesting. I built the USB drive recovery a few months ago when I'd just bought the laptop.
I was going to put this in my original post but didn't - that my primary HDD cannot be unplugged since...
Hello AT geeks
I have a laptop that is under warranty. Due to desperately wanting an SSD over spinning rust, I chose to remove my optical drive and put in a caddy, thus preserving the 3 year warranty. The SSD is in, I booted through the HDD and initialised it as a GUID drive (as opposed to...
My apologies if this thread bump gets in the way, but my friend agreed to get a charger for me!
Now I need your help - what is a good place to buy chargers in the US? My friend is a regular at Amazon and I came across this unit...
I wish the question was just about a few bucks, though. This charger is 65W and doesn't ship to my place.
And $100 in my currency is a LOT of cash to spend.
