My wireless won't work

Press Fn and the wireless key at the same time. That should toggle your wireless on and off.

If your model does not have an HDMI out connector (the maual indicates not all models do have this, you can purchase an HDMI card for your PCI express slot and add the functionality to your laptop.
There are also plenty of USB to HDMI converters that can turn your USB port into an HDMI port.
Hope this helps

If it is three days old and no wifi you may not want to read this...;-]

There is a off on switch for the wifi either in front or along the side of the case. By default it is off. The wifi will show installed and working but won;t do anything. The hard part is finding that stupid switch. Followed by pretending you knew it was the problem all along. I'm chuckling at this as everyone myself included has done this. If it is anything other than the switch on a 3 day old laptop I'd put in in the box and return it.

it's the switch ;-]

the special key to turn the wireless on is Fn + F3. use this special key to turn the wireless on. if in case the wireless switch pops up on your screen but cannot turn it on, the problem is with the driver. you need to reinstall the wireless driver of your computer.

1) Check if the laptop has a mechanical switch to disable wireless, look for the logo for wireless by a switch on the laptop (it's a dot with curved lines above it), turn it on

2) If there is a switch, and it was off, when turning it on, windows will likely pop up about wireless networks detected, if not, go into control panel, look for the networking category, click this, there should be a link for wireless networking in there.

Flashing a BIOS is tricky stuff and should only be done by a professional !! If indeed you knew what you were getting into, and were aware of the risks,and not knowing what OS your running, I found some driver updates here: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_3630.html Hope this helps and good luck. If I helped please rate me. Thanks. -jmattes

Make sure the switch is on , or the hot key is pressed to turn on the wireless.

Look on the Acer website and download that driver again and try.

At the top of your key board right below the power button, there is a row of hotkeys the far left one is the wireless button.
