Acer aspire 5742G: Acer aspire internal speaker

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 17:33:35 -0700

The right chanel in the PC speaker dont't work. If I connect to external speaker it's ok, so the problema is in the hardware. It's a production problema because other ACER's I tested have the same problem.

Acer Aspire 5742G: Broken screen and won't connect to external monitor

Mon, 15 May 2017 09:01:10 -0700

Hello,

I have an Acer aspire 5742g and my screen is broken. I know the laptop works since i can manage log in to windows (i can hear the log in sound), but the screen is all white and grey. I have a few documents i would really need for school, so i've tried to use an external monitor (both another laptop and a tv) but it doesn't work. I've tried pressing fn+f5, i've tried the Windows logo+P, but still it won't connect to another monitor. Is there any other way to recovertransfer files from my broken laptop to another laptop??

Acer Aspire 5742G: My laptop fan is dead and it's not spinning at all. What should I do?

CPU temperature increases drastically to more than 90 degrees. Is the fan damaged and does it need to be replaced?
