Acer Aspire: No Bootable Device Found

Sun, 10 Mar 2024 06:40:33 -0700

I have an Acer Aspire V3-371 Series laptop here and it can't boot as it cannot find any Bootable device. I originally tried to reinstall Windows, that didn't work. So I tested the original HDD. It was defect to some degree. So I changed it out for a new one and installed Windows again. The PC worked! But just for a week or so before the exact same problem occurred again... Now I'm out of ideas what it could be.

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: My Acer Aspire E1-531 suddenly won't power on?

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 00:36:47 -0700

I have an Acer Aspire E1-531. It's only 1.5 years old. Won't power on, lights that used to light when the charger is plugged in, don't light now.

It was working fine then got the 20% battery warning and while plugging in the charger, it powered off and will not power back on. The port for the charger is right next to the power button and I may have been pushing the power button while trying to plug in the charger.

Tried resetting it (took out battery and held power button for 30 secs) and I took it to Office Depot where they tested it with a different charger (with and without the battery in) to no avail.

acer e 15 laptop: Audio playing through headphones and speakers at the same time

Wed, 10 Aug 2022 11:09:18 -0700

I have this Acer Aspire E15 laptop and I plugged in some earbuds, when I did I tested the PC audio and sound came out of both the laptop speakers and the earbuds, I just want the sound to come through the headphones. Furthermore, since I'm trying to use the headphones using the audio jack, it's still going to come up as 'High Definition Audio' so there isn't a way to default the headphones. I was just wondering if there was a fix for it.

Acer Aspire: New laptop is slow/unhappy with laptop's performance

Acer aspire es1-512

New Acer Laptop with Windows 10. I've downloaded all available updates and disabled any obvious processes running which I don't need. However, I'm still disappointed with the start up time and slow load time of programs. Is there anything I can do? I’ve never used Windows 10 before, not sure if it’s a resource hog compared to Win 7 or not. I have Intel N2840 CPU and 4 gig RAM.

Thanks for any suggestions.
