Preface

Before using this information and the product it supports, please read the following general information.

1. This Service Guide provides you with all technical information relating to the BASIC CONFIGURATION

decided for Acer's "global" product offering. To better fit local market requirements and enhance product

competitiveness, your regional office MAY have decided to extend the functionality of a machine (e.g.

add-on card, modem, or extra memory capability). These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered

in this generic service guide. In such cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible

personnel/channel to provide you with further technical details.

2. Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the most up-to-date information

available on your regional web or channel. If, for whatever reason, a part number change is made, it will

not be noted in the printed Service Guide. For ACER-AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your Acer

office may have a DIFFERENT part number code to those given in the FRU list of this printed Service

Guide. You MUST use the list provided by your regional Acer office to order FRU parts for repair and

service of customer machines.

TouchPad Basics

The following items show you how to use the TouchPad:

• Move your finger across the TouchPad (1) to move the cursor.

• Press the left (2) and right (3) buttons located beneath the TouchPad to perform selection and

execution functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse.

Tapping on the TouchPad is the same as clicking the left button.

NOTE: Illustrations for reference only. The exact configuration of your PC depends on the model purchased.

NOTE: When using the TouchPad, keep it - and your fingers - dry and clean. The TouchPad is sensitive to

finger movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will not

increase the TouchPad’s responsiveness.

NOTE: By default, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled on your touchpad. It can be disabled under

Mouse settings in Windows Control Panel.

Function Left Button (2) Right Button (3) Main TouchPad (1)

Using the Keyboard

Your Aspire one has a close-to-full-sized keyboard and an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock,

function and special keys.

Lock Keys and embedded numeric keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters

located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols

are not printed on the keys.

Lock key Description

Caps Lock When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.

Num Lock

When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys

function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). Use

this mode when you need to do a lot of numeric data entry. A better solution

would be to connect an external keypad.

Scroll Lock <Fn> +

<F12>

When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press

the up or down arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some

applications.

Desired access Num Lock on Num Lock off

Number keys on

embedded keypad

Type numbers in a normal manner.

Main keyboard keys Hold <Fn> while typing letters on

embedded keypad.

Type the letters in a normal

manner.
