Acer Aspire V5: No Access to ACER ASPIRE V5 471 Bios (Operating System Not found)

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 23:44:12 -0700

I was planning to reinstall Windows 8.1 on my laptop. I did by using a usb flash drive by using the legacy bios boot mode because it will not boot from it on uefi. It Installed perfectly but every time it started up it will be in legacy bios. 2 days after I tried to start it up by came up with the message os not found. I have tried f2,f8, f10 and f12 neither have worked. I cannot access recovery. I hope there is a solution to this as soon as possible because I need my computer back by next week

Acer Aspire V5-573pg: Acer V5-571 Series BIOS Locked and need code / Help

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 17:25:03 -0700

When trying to boot to the OS, I get an error 0xc000021a and the PC continuously tries to reboot.

If I press F2, I get a dialog box with Password/Unlock Key and the code 11DAA97B.

I am trying to get it to boot to CD so I can re-install Windows.

I tried entering a code from http://bios-pw.org, but it did not work.

Hopefully, somebody can help with this issue.

Acer Aspire V5-573pg: Why does my Laptop only work when the charger is plugged in?

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 02:13:28 -0700

My laptop only turns on when the charger is plugged in and even then it fails to charge. As soon as I remove the charger from my laptop, it completely shuts down and I have to once again turn it on by plugging in the charger, pressing the power button and continuing to keep it plugged in until I stop using it....

Why won't it charge at all, and yet why does it only turn on with the charger plugged in?

The green light on the charger lights up when the cord is plugged to the laptop, which means that charger is working. I think it may be the battery but ive tried to reset it and take it off the laptop and then put it back on several times but still the same result.

PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN, I'D GREATLY APPRECIATE IT! Thanks :)

Acer Aspire V5: Acer Aspire v5-571P - Replace the network card?

Tue, 12 Apr 2016 12:37:48 -0700

I purchased an Acer Aspire V5-571P-6648 for my wife for Christmas. We love Windows 8 (no comments here please) and the touch screen. However, we are frequently losing internet connectivity. Only a restart seems to resolve the issue. I have multiple devices on WiFi and do not see connectivity issues on the other devices. Searching the web reveals that there are problems with the Atheros network card in the unit. I reached out Acer and they, unfortunately of no help here. I'm an IT guy so I have no problem replacing the unit if it is replaceable.

Does anyone know if the NIC is replaceable with another one?

in november 2013 my pc started to go slower and has a poor performance.

Time left, my pc power down every moment, and have very much lags.

In january 2014, it have an error in hard disc and don't let me use the device in the normaly order , have problems, don't save my folders, power up later, etcetc.

And i remplased the hard disc (500GB HDD) to a little hard disc (160GB HDD) and, when i install the windows, it needs many controllers, obviusly.

And i go to acer.com, install all the necesarily controllers and all are funcional, except one: GPU controller.

I try and try with intel 3000,4000,2000, etcetc

Ask to client attention and don't have solution.

Investigate and nothing.

You know what is the problem?

have the necesarily controller?

tell me please.

For the attention, thanks.
