Acer Aspire AS5250: How to fix my corrupted Laptop?

Thu, 02 Nov 2017 04:59:09 -0700

I factory restarted my acer laptop, and while it was restarting, an error popped up saying the computer could not factory restart. After that, my computer restarted and I kept getting this screen that said that some of my laptop files were missing or corrupted. I cannot access my laptop at all, it asks for a windows download disk but I don't have one.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Acer Aspire A515-51G: Why is my Hard drive stuck in the case?

Sat, 31 Jan 2026 09:11:45 -0700

I have opened the drive cover, but the connector has only partly detached. The drive is quite tight on both sides - last time I took it out it was quite easy. Have been using the same Spudgers - plastic. There is also now a screw - one of the 3 in the triangle shape, roughly in the centre of the case which is just turning without being able to be pulled out using a magnetised screwdriver.

I am having to repeat this procedure as I think I might have disconnected the cable to the daughterboard which controls the USB PORTS, and the Charge /Power LED'S.

I am more used to working on Desktop PC'S, So I am a bit lost here - despite following ifixit guides.

Greateful for any advice which might be worth knowing. I do have photos of the drive

Thanks for your help Jon

Acer Aspire A515-51G: Aspire A717-71G Searching for correct palmrest with keyboard

Sat, 02 Apr 2022 15:25:20 -0700

(My model wasnt possible to chose under "device", I just chosed something.)

I have this Aspire A717-71G that somebody had dripped some coffee on.
After that the keyboard is not working.
I took it apart and found out that the keyboard is integrated with the palmrest. (top cover)

Now i searched on eBay to find a replacement that I thought I did. But the seller tells me that it wont fit, because I have gtx 1050 and it's only fit laptop with gtx 1060.

First, how do I know if I have 1050 or 1060 ?
Second, is there such a big difference that it really wont fit ?
How will I know?
