No sound i lost sound on my aspire. acer teck says carry out factory reset but wont enter mode from alt/f10.also lost e tecknology

There is no way to reset if you cannot get into the Alt + F10 partition, if you can boot into windows ok then it can be factory defaulted by entering the Acer recovery manager, but if not then you will have to keep trying as it can be difficult to get into, i personally find pressing both keys together once every second does the trick and it has to remain constant, when you see the white line across the bottom of the screen stating "windows is loading files" then simply follow on screen instructions.

Power on and press ALT + F10 to initiate the factory reset

NOTE : ALL DATA WILL BE LOST POST FACTORY RESET - BACK UP DATA AND THEN PROCEED

Save any files or folders on your Acer Aspire One with flash drives.
Drag and drop files onto the icon of your flash drive. Go to "Start" > "Restart" to reboot your netbook. Hold down "Alt" and "F10" when you see the Acer logo on the screen. The recovery menu will load. Hit "Enter" and then "Next" to see your recovery options. Choose "Factory Restore" to set your netbook back to factory settings. Follow the instructions on the screen. Choose your time zone and language when the customization menu appears. Reboot the netbook when you are prompted. Restore your saved files from the flash drive. Hoe this helps.

Turn Off the computer, now as soon as you hit the power button, keep on holding "Alt" key & keep on tapping "F10 key,ie: Alt+F10, it will open the recovery console ,select full factory restore and follow on screen instruction. (Note:this will erase all datas on the computer)
or
During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup
Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS you can load failsafe defaults or load optimized defaults ,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart

Hope this helps

Sounds like you need to reinstall your OS. Warning: you will loose any data on this laptop, and it will be reset to factory settings.

Hold down Alt - F10 right when you turn it on, and it will enter recovery mode. Follow the directions and it will be reset to how it was when you took it out of the box :)

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

The first thing you need to do is save all of your pictures and files that you have on your computer to your email or upload them to another account that stores them. When you factory reset an Acer, it wipes it clean of everything you have downloaded on it. THIS IS PERMANENT ONCE FACTORY RESTORE IS DONE.

Turn your computer off.
Restart your computer.
When the Acer screen comes up, press and hold Alt+F10.
Keep pressing F10 repeatedly while keeping the Alt button pressed down.
You will be asked how you want to reset your computer.
Press Factory Restore.
This may take up to an hour.

If you are asked to enter a pass code, enter your pass code or 000000.

Hit okay.

enter BIOS - you will see a mesage when you first turn on laptop tellign you to press a key to enter setup. Do this and make sure HDD is listed. if it is, you might have todo a recovery.

Turn on laptop, then immediatly press ALT + F10 keep finger on ALT and press F10 a few times, this will start the recovery process. some ask if you want to re-install windows or full factory reset. Windows install will only repair it - full factory reset will delete any data you have! so be careful

Hi 
Well this is a problem if you didn't make a factory disk nor backed up the system configurations then only thing that will work is to reinstall the operating system. Here is a trick that Acer will never tell you 
press the on button and imedetly press ALT + F10 in this order ALT + F10 - ALT + F10 until it goes into recovery mode all the Acers that has 2 partitions have the recovery mode then click on recover to factory defult this will load the factory operating system + driversand applications
kind regards  Mervinh

if you made recovery discs you should be able to boot up into them to recover the laptop. or download the audio driver off the net and install it.

acer not so helpful

good luck
