    Acer 19" working?

    I am using an Acer AL1916W right now. I am trying to decide if I should open it up and change the caps or wait until it fails. I hate to mess with something that is working but I also hate not to prevent a failure. I don't leave my computer on so it only gets used a few hours a week. It's about a year old i think.

    Any opinions?

    Thanks,

    Bob

          Fair i guess. I just got a Westinghouse 19 recapped. That's why I'm asking. I'm definately not great at desoldering. All I have is a spring type tool.

              Better do it now. If you wait, any bad cap(s) in there can take something else when they go south ....
              It will be practice anyway ....

                  Acer Nitro 5 AN515-46 DMI not working
                  by aico60
                  Hello everyone,

                  I am working on an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-46, board HH51R LA-M002P Rev: 1A with an AMD CPU and Insyde Bios rev 5.

                  Short issue description: BIOS does not recognize any of the DMI data.

                  History of the laptop:
                  The seller of the laptop said that it shut down during a BIOS update.
                  I bought in in a condition where it turned on but did not post.
                  While waiting for my RT809F to arrive, I tried to perform a Crisis recovery, which messed up the EC firmware, so... the laptop stopped even turning on. Power and Charging LEDs didn't work either...

                  Acer AN515-52 SATA1 port not working no hdd detected in BIOS...
                  by titomno2
                  Hi guys,
                  On motherboard ACER AN515-52 type LAF951P.
                  I fixed issue with not starting computer (it was the PQ201 component not working properly).
                  But after checking everything I have still an issue with secondary SATA connector JHD1 (for HDD typically).
                  Basically some HDD spin but are not detected by the bios.

                  ​

                  Already tried following:
                  checked the 4 data lines
                  #2 RDSATA_PTX_C_DRX_P4 => CO18 (10nF seems OK) => RO24 (0Ohm measured at 0.25Ohms).
                  #3 RDSATA_PTX_C_DRX_N4 => CO17 (9.68nF seems OK) => RO23 (0Ohm measured...

                  Acer Nitro N50-640 USB not working.
                  by Thunderace7
                  Hi.
                  I have an Acer Nitro N50-640 that has been downgraded by fitting a Core i3-12100F processor and a Radeon RX560 graphics card. I am running Windows 11 Home.
                  There are 6 USB ports on the back of the machine (2 blue, 4 black), and 1 red USB and a USB-C on the front of the machine. I believe that all of these are mounted directly on the motherboard.
                  The red port on the front of the machine has stopped working whilst all the others are OK. I have tried eveything in software that I can think of, including uninstalling the USB Controllers in Device Manager and letting the PC...

                  Acer AN515-57-577G JDIMM1 socket not working.
                  by warsztat
                  Hello, Acer AN515-57-577G JDIMM1 socket does not work. GH51G LA-L181P, 2x DDR4 RAM, both good, both work well in JDIMM2, neither works in JDIMM1. The laptop displays BIOS, when the JDIMM2 socket is occupied, you can run Linux on USB, then everything seems to work ok, there is internet access and you can browse the contents of the 512 GB SSD in Windows, but starting Windows ends with an eternal spinning circle, maybe there are corrupted files. When the RAM is inserted into the JDIMM1 socket, the laptop starts but there is no image and the downloaded current does not change and the output is ~2.25A....

                  Acer Nitro 5 not charging but working with battery
                  by Source Code
                  Hello Everyone

                  First I must say I am trying to learn electronics. I have an Acer Nitro 5. Board is LA-861P. The laptop does not charge but when it has battery life it would power on and work fine. I have use a multimeter to check the charger and I get 19v.

                  Input on PBQ3 mosfet is 19v but no output or very low voltage. The voltage on PCZ65 and PCZ48 is 2v and it keep dropping after putting the charger for a few second. Battery pin would give like 0.200v declining.

                  If I put the laptop off for like 2-3 months it would start charging again but I need to do this...
