This keyboard/usb/touchpad problem hit me last week after nearly four years of owning an aspire 5103. When I first got it it lasted 3 and a half hours.

I have had no issues from any of their batteries yet the last one for this computer Acer 5100 is in it now and is still kicking after a year and a half I can still watch a full DVD before my power browns out. I found a place called that packs the battery when you order it. Realistically if the battery is over 2 years old you need a new one if it is Li-Ion. My wife's Latitude can't have the battery in it due to its age if we put in the battery the system won't POST due to the voltage drain trying to get the battery to charge. Pull the battery then plug it in without it. But the power issue is definitely something to explore. I had my TP turned off but I could get it to power on for 4 seconds by disabling and re-enabling it inside windows. Since most machines power on and check and charge CPU then ram then video then proceed to power on other devices it is possible the is not enough current. I found the issue to be very prevalent on UPS powered desktops. System decides to cut power or doesn't have enough amperage coming through the battery and adapter to run everthing. I have seen this type of issue though it is usually video related.

My only question for people who have gotten this far is - how do I install Windows again if I am unable to access the BIOS to tell my machine to boot from CD? The PCMCIA-USB workaround is the only practical fix for this model so far. I thought this was a good fix, but after system restart, lost keyboard & mouse again. I am able to bring the laptop out of stand-by mode by striking any key on the laptop's keyboard.Īfter doing the PCMCIA-USB fix (with external USB keyboard & mouse combination), I updated the system's BIOS in Windows & when it promted me the system would restart in 30 seconds, I hit the Windows key & to my amazement it worked. This worked after 50 tries, but funcionality goes away once in Windows.Īnother time I was able to get the Windows key to work IN Windows, but shortly after it froze. One was acheived with battery power only, using the CTRL+ESC method where you hold the 2 buttons & power on the machine, then hard-power off. I tried most of the fixes on here but can only attain temporary keyboard funcionality.

Any suggestions anyone? Really hope i can repair it cheaply as it is the only pc i have!! My mate says maybe i leaned on the keyboard while sleeping and had some keys held down for a prolongued time and the CMOS or BIOS has locked the keyboard and touchpad and that maybe resetting the CMOS/BIOS by jumper or removing the battery will unlock them. I rang Acer and they want the recipt but as it was a present from my exgirlfriend, i don't have it. Anyone have this problem ever? I don't know if I need a new keyboard or what to do. I've took it to a friend who is a PC Repair guy and he says all cables are firmly connected, no problem there. When i get to the windows log-in screen, sometimes the FN + F6 combination works but that's all. When it started up, both keyboard and touchpad are dead. Got a CMOS error that I've had a few times before so unplugged it, took battery out and plugged it back in again. Thought nothing of it, turned it off and rebooted it.

Fell asleep while watching a movie on it and it blocked 2 hours after i fell asleep more or less. I've got an Acer Aspire 5100 and 2 nights ago i was using it and all was well.
