Hi, my acer aspire 5315 switches itself off when it gets hot? It has been doing this for a few months now! My cousin also has the same laptop and same problem!! I would be grateful if you could help? Thanks

Open up the laptop and pour dry rice on it for a few days, if that doesn't restore function your friend owes you a new laptop.

I suggest you reinstall the Operating System (Windows)

Hello, May i know why you going for a new keyboard???
I mean a few months back few keys on my keyboard stopped working and i too was thinking of getting a new keyboard .. when my cousin suggested me to just replace the keys which don't work.. And i found this company who sell individual keys with all the underneath fittings in a reasonable rate,
www.laptopkey.com
You could try them out if you need just a few keys

best option would be getting from acer itself, they should have spareparts for your laptop, or you can bring the drive itself to your local computer shop so that you could compare the dimension and specs..

Hope it helps!

You could try a laptop cushion from somewhere like Amazon or Ebay.

I would start by doing a search on Ebay. Often times you can get parts or a damaged laptop with parts for a very reasonable price. I just did a search for your laptop model and found a damaged Acer Aspire 5315 for $81. As of this posting on 10/31 at 9:10 am CST time, the auction ends in 2 hrs.

After doing a quick internet search, I found a web site called http://www.screencountry.com and I saw a monitor for your model listed at $99.

plz try by reinstalling the operating system, if you cant then plz check your hard drive

I have a friend who has an Acer Aspire 5315 running Vista and it was pretty slow right out of the box with 1gb of ram. I upgraded his Ram to 2gb and it ran moderatly faster and smoother. Vista is a demanding OS because it's so graphical in nature. Windows Vista requires more ram then XP plus a better CPU to run smoothly. His had a 1.6ghz Celeron which is not that great of a CPU to begin with but uping your ram will usually up your performance a few degrees. Be careful with cheap ram it can run hot and unstable. Make sure go with a name brand PNY, Corsair, Kingston, etc. Don't just buy House ram (generic) because it's cheap. It's not worth wasting your money on junk ram.

Hope this helps. M~
