Use the Vista Drivers. It is the same.

Please Install the operating system...(windows or Mac)

You can do what's called a repair installation instead of recovery to the factory default...
For xp, see here.
But it may be possible to salvage you system by other means...What symptoms are you experiencing and what steps have you taken to remedy the problem? Is the system completing the POST sequence but you're not getting a logon screen? What OS, etc, etc?

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.
If I've managed to answer your question or solve a problem, please take just a moment to rate this post....thanks!

No default. Try windows restore to factory default but remember to backup your documents.

A few things to try. First turn on the unit, and after it seems to have booted up (like at a windows login or something), take a flashlight and in a darkened room shine it on the screen. If you can see a picture, it means your backlight is out. Go on ebay or elsewhere online and look for an acer aspire 1690LCi backlight. Then open up your screen and replace it (there should be tutorials online for this). If you don't see an image, your screen maybe be out or have more serious problems (video card, LCD dead, etc.).

I think your problem is because the monitor is not activated. Right click desktop, click properties, click settings. Drag the gray scaled monitor on top of the black monitor and click ok and it should send the signal to the external monitor. try draging the mouse over to it because by default the external screen will be black.

Hope this helps!

Sounds like your number lock maybe be on. It could also have a shortcut function option that is on. If not, have you spilled anything on it lately?

Battery has gone bad. Replace the battery.

Just search for your model and you'll find the driver listed.

Best of Luck!

This is a really common problem thats not actually a problem.
Go to trackpad settings and make sure tap to click is off.
Most laptops allow you to tap the track pad to act as a mouse button, try it go to an icon tap the trackpad youll see that the icon highlights as if you are actually left clicking.
When your typing the trackpad senses your arm or wrist occasionaly and thinks your tapping the mouse, thus moving the cursor.
So go into trackpad settings and turn off tap to click.

Your screen sounds fine, most likely just your backlight going out, either that or you could have hit the key for using an external monitor (function f6 is the LCD/external monitor switch for my computer). I'd look into the function f6 and play around with that, if not you can just buy a new backlight from ebay or an internet supplier.

Sometimes there is a switch on the laptop on the keyboard bezel, up by the screen. Check to see if it's stuck down somehow. That switch cuts power to the inverter.

Also, when you first turn on the computer, do you hear a very faint hissing noise? If so, you may have a short in your LCD. Replacing the LCD would be the next step in this case.

Bad ac adapter .You need a new one.

Make sure memory is in properly and lcd cable is plugged properly.

Similar problem
started a few days back

did you use a clean install or try repair recovery method I recommend a complete reinstall after formatting hard drive (partition hard drive) so that later your files on 2nd partition are not lost. The reason i say this it is quicker and easier than buggering around tying to fix it also you have the original disks for your computer

Then go to control panel,system ,hardware ,device manager option
There if u find any question mark or exclamation mark in yellow Color that means sound drivers are not installed properly
please reinstall sound drivers properly

or else

If no question mark or exclamation mark then check the cable connections of the speaker to the machine

or else

In control panel , select sound audio devices open it there u have
volume,sounds,audio,voice,hardware options

1)See whether it is mute
2)In audio option select default audio device and recording device
should be same

this should solve u r problem .if it is not solved please let me know u r problem briefly

or else put the model number and brand name followed by drivers search in ww.google.com

plzz check with some other SD Card and if that card also doesnt works with it than plzz check the drivers for the SD Flash
