To update the drivers, visit the Acer Support website, enter your laptop model, and download the latest drivers. You can also use Windows Update or Device Manager to automatically search for updated drivers.
First, ensure the power adapter is connected and working. Try a different outlet. If the laptop still doesn't turn on, perform a hard reset by removing the battery (if removable) and power cable, then hold the power button for 15 seconds. Reconnect and try again.
To improve battery life, reduce screen brightness, disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use, and close unnecessary applications. Use the Windows power saver mode and ensure your laptop is using the latest power management settings from Acer.
Connect your external monitor using an HDMI cable. Press Windows + P to open display settings and select your preferred display mode (e.g., Duplicate, Extend). Adjust the resolution settings as needed.
Ensure the laptop is on a hard, flat surface to allow proper ventilation. Clean the air vents with compressed air to remove dust. Consider using a cooling pad and check for any software updates that might improve thermal management.
Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. Under 'Reset this PC', click 'Get started' and choose either 'Keep my files' or 'Remove everything'. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reset process.
Ensure the laptop is powered off and unplugged. Remove the screws on the back panel to access the RAM slots. Insert the new RAM module into an empty slot or replace the existing one. Reassemble the laptop and power it on to check if the RAM is recognized.
Check for and remove malware using antivirus software. Uninstall unnecessary programs, disable startup programs, and clean up disk space. Consider upgrading the RAM or switching from an HDD to an SSD for better performance.
Click on the network icon in the taskbar, select your Wi-Fi network, and click 'Connect'. Enter the Wi-Fi password if prompted. Ensure that Airplane mode is off and the Wi-Fi adapter is enabled.
Check if the touchpad is disabled by pressing the relevant function key (often F7 or F9). Update the touchpad driver via Device Manager. If the issue persists, check the touchpad settings in the Control Panel or Settings app.
