My Acer travelmate 2420 keeps freezing to a solid grey screen.

It has happened twice when I was in Microsoft Word. I can be working in Word for hours and all of a sudden I'll try to hit rtn or save and I get the grey screen. It let it sit to see if it will come back and it doesn't so I shut it off using the pwr button.

Can you please help?

SOURCE: Acer 5735z crystal eye webcam gives grey screen

Yeah I've noticed many users of Acer's Aspire complaining same problem and i must suggest you to upgrade your software because in many cases Acer gave older version of app and its not compatible with their Crystal Eye webcam. So please go to acer's website & download their latest version of that software from there...

If this solution was helpful to you then please rate 100% (or FIXYA) for this solution, otherwise don't rate at all. It was my pleasure helping you.

How do i remove the cover on my acer 2420 laptop to replace the cmos battery?Some one please help

You have to probably remove all the screws under the computer. remove the hdd memory and etc. The next part will be to check near the keyboard if there is something to pull out, underneath that there will be more screws to pull out and you will the cmos battery.

if your computer is the aaccer travelmate 2420 you can also check this website http://www.wiquestions.com/questions/les-instructions-de-demontage-pour-un-acer-travelmate-2420/

Microphone connect have acer aspire travelmate

It appears that your Acer has 3 ports in the front center bottomportion of the laptop. One of them should be for plugging in an external microphone, one should be for external speakers, and one should be an input jack.http://complap.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/acer-travelmate-2420-2.192120139_std.jpg

Acer travelmate 2420

Hello! :)
The first thing I would have you do is to shutdown the computer (Hold the power button until the system turns off) and retry the format. Are you using a Microsoft XP disc or a recovery disc? If your not sure just post with all of the text that appears on the CD.

Phantom Key

Try hitting the S key and check for clips, staples, lint, food, fingernails or other debris that may be holding it down, if you can, pry off the key and check it as well, carefully blow on it.
