I have an acer one aspire 532.
It shows that it has connected to our wireless internet connection but won’t allow internet access.

Is there something I need to change in the security settings?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

I loved my Acer Aspire One until while I was visiting England it died on me. As it was still under warranty I contacted Acer’s Service Centre. I was given the third degree. They would not allow me even to send the computer to them for repair until I “proved” to them that I was not resident in England. They wanted a photocopy of my plane ticket! They also said repair would take 10 days, not the 5 specified in the Traveller’s Passport, and the Service Centre is deep in the west country, so taking the machine in and fetching it again are not options. I paid a private repair firm to get the Acer going again, but when I returned to Canada, Acer refused to refund what I had spent, even though the machine was still under warranty. My Acer is now out of warranty and has died again. in exactly the same way, with no warning. Apparently it writes over its BIOS. While it worked I loved it — but not enough to put up with its unreliability and the Acer’ company’s attitude.

This is just someone’s review of the product from nearly 2 years ago … and a place for “comments”. It is not supposed to be a “help” facility, though several have done so.

Are you using only the battery? This might happen if your battery is low. Plug it in to the wall, let it charge for a while, and try again.

(For others) Many MANY of the questions asked here can be answered by the user’s guide/manual. See Start > All Programs > Acer System > User’s guide (or quick user’s guide). Look it’s a long read, but this is a complex little machine (that I LOVE). Take the time … it will answer some questions and solve some problems. When all else fails, read the instruction manual.

I use the machine (SS drive 8G/8G) with an external monitor unless “on the road”. Works geat. To make the external monitor work (via the “D” connector on the left side ), hold “Fn” and “F5″ down. Now with “Fn” held down, Key “F5″ to get the Acer screen only, or Acer + External, External Only, or External at 800×600 resolution (as for a projector, as pictured).

My USB mouse (generic) worked plug and play. So did my $12 external Logitech USB keyboard from WalMart. Never had any problem (6 mos) until I tried moving the temporary internet file folder (system file) to the “D” drive to “save” the main SSD. When I did this, then occasionally IE7 would close without warning. Don’t know why it doesn’t like that.

We must all remember that, unfortunately, the SS drive has a limited lifetime. A heavy user might “tire it out” in a year or two. Would be good to replace it when prices come down and you’ll have a “spare” that way if the new one goes out. Natch, you need to copy the system from the old to the new. Might need a geek for that.

Best to all and good luck with this nice little machine!

Does anyone on here ever help, or is this just a place to complain when something won’t work correctly?

My Acer Aspire One 10.1 will not start up. It gets to the screensaver, then says ‘shutting down and saving your settings’, and it won’t get past that. I tried safe mode, and alt+ F12, and alt + F10. Nothing. Can anyone help?

Having read all of the earlier entries I’m compelled to report that I’ve had this Acer Aspire One AOA 150-1126 (9″ screen, XP, 1GB RAM, 160GB HD, 6volt battery) since Nov. ’08, and it has worked outstandingly. It’s been problem free, but I have not. Occasionally wandering fingers while keyboarding produce unexpected, sometimes inexplicable events … but that’s me hahaha, not the AA1. But here’s a question: How recognizable is the performance boost when one increases the RAM to 1.5GB? Mine requires substantial disassembling in order to add the RAM. Is the effort really worth it? Thanks!
