Sounds like a failed POST. You could need a new system board.

It should play video with 8 meg. The max memory is 12m but you have to take the whole laptop apart to increase it.

"Ne demarre pas"? English please, thanks.

This is the DESKTOP category. If you have a laptop, you've only given HALF the model number. should be ASxxxx-6100 (or whatever yours says.)I doubt there IS a second audio-out on the Laptop, as MFR's tend not to put REDUNDANT systems in a laptop if they don't have-to, to conserve space. If there were, a second-one, it would be a Digital Audio-out, and would not have the same connector as headphone jacks.Desktops typically WILL have one in front and one in the back (usually pale-green in color,)...but not lappys.

only certain types of headsets work with an acer and there should be two slots to plug in to one for headphones one for microphonewhere did the headset come from that is not working? if it's one from an mp3 player or other device like that(single plug) then it won't work in an acer

please you att any lcd on load other person and change our system resolution 800 by 600 and att our monitor solve the problem

The AHCI can be enabled from using the correct driver but you should have enabled it PRIOR to the OS install

Acer did not always do this but often relied on compatibility mode

The speed increase is often not that much.

The BIOS on that board can be updated but you may find that AHCI still does not work as you expect.

you have to look up the model number off the board and see what chipset you have and so forth and so on. Without the model number off the board there is no real way to tell

Memory modules are fickle mistresses; sometimes you'll need matching modules of RAM for it to be recognized properly. From what I'm understanding, you're trying to boot a module of 1GB and another of 512MB. Try to swap the native 512MB for another 1GB stick and see if it works. As well, it's a good idea to install RAM modules that were manufactured by the same company.

Before you do that, it's important to understand that the RAM modules are very delicate electronics. It's also entirely possible, if you haven't worn sufficient ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) safety equipment, that static electricity could render a module useless. Performing a RAM swap in a proper environment and with the proper equipment (ESD bracelets, in this case) minimizes the possibility of static electricity junking computer components.

Also possible, albeit rare, is that the module is simply defective out of the box. If this appears to be the case, then you can simply return it with the receipt for a refund or an exchange.

open it up and check if aall wires are in place.try contacting asus if problem persists

by default the hard drive should have a recovery partition. go to the support section of the manufactures website and you should find detailed instructions of how to boot to the partition. if that option has been corrupted, you can purchase a recovery disc directly from acer. i've ordered nearly a hundred for customers in the past and have never paid more than 20.00 for a disc or disc set.

below you will find a link that will allow you to enter your product serial number and direct you to the purchase of a factory recovery cd/dvd.
