Jon,

By the way, I just donated $10 via PayPal. I don’t know what the standard is in this business, but it felt right to me.

Thank you for your generous donation. I just got it.

I used your instructions to get at the cooling fan in my Acer 3610. Some minor differences, but your clear, illustrated instructions helped give me the confidence to pursue and get the dirt out of the cooling system. This both reduced the cooling cycle frequency, and cut way back on the noise from the fan – which was getting so bad that my friends on Skype were having difficulty hearing me over the “buzz-saw” sound from the computer.

Thanks for the help, and keep up the good work.

Noresh,

Appreciate if you could label the CMOS battery!!!

You can see the CMOS battery in the STEP 14. In the lower left corner. The CMOS battery is on the right side from the ENE chip.

Jared,

is there any simple way to replace the CMOS battery? anyway Thanks for this it really helps.

Not really. The CMOS battery is connected to the motherboard and hidden under the palm rest. You’ll have to remove the top cover (steps 1-14) in order to access and replace the CMOS battery.

Hi, I have the Acer Aspire 5610 and it has a built in webcam. There seems to be connection problems with it connecting to the USB connections on the M/B. I’ve had to disable it in the Device Manager settings. I’d really like to have it connected properly. Can you help please?

Many thanks,

Kev

Andrew,

Found it on another site. White is main, Black is Aux.

Same like in Toshiba laptops but it shouldn’t really matter. Both antenna cables are identical. You’ll get connected even if the black cables goes to main and white to auxiliary.
