Hi I am new to this site and I appreciate all Your efforts. My ACER Aspire E 1531 suddenly developed keypad issue. My K key couldn’t respond when it is depressed or taped. As a result, I can no longer input My password. Any help please?

Thank you so much, you saved my life… Did not reconnect the mother card cable and as a result got a black screen, but as your pics are so good, I could find my mistake. All the best

Hi sir,I have acer E1-531 series that has been perpetual giving me headaches…it just so happened one day back in 2014 that it shut down and never turned on again,until the day I discovered your site and thus follow your steps in dismantling it after a visit to a countless list of forums trying all the techniques they advocated to no success.After the success in following your procedure,I turned my laptop on and to my delight,there it was up and running like the old good days.Now the devil is back again and I followed the procedure again,but this time it was in vain…I really don’t understand what’s going on because sometimes when I shut it down,it just happen that it doesn’t turn on outright the following day,I’ll have to keep trying it for an hour or two before it could turn on,sometimes it takes days just like now,so I really,really need your help with it sir as it is the only one I have and need to use it for atleast two months before I could get to fix it or replace it with another one.Sorry for the lengthy text,I just wanted to provide you with detailed information.Thanks in advance.

I wrote you about trouble I was having with a Gateway NE56R13U, thinking it was assembled the same as your NV57R***. Well they are not the same. This Acer and my Gateway Ne56r13U are however. You might add this info on your website as the problem with the left hinge appears to be a manufacturing defect. The hinge is anchored in PLASTIC and all three housings are broken. I’d include a picture, but there’s no option…have a great evening!

Just discovered this webpage. Thank you for all the information provided. I have a problem as well with the Aspire E1-531-2438. Approximately three weeks ago, as I was typing in MS word 2003, I noticed some issues with the mouse and the keypad. I started using the arrows to navigate in word 2003 and had to more recently, start the task manager to end any program open to get word to be reactivated even when not closing the word program at all, but sometimes still had to shut down work to make it work. Even using an external mouse, it doesn’t necessarily work all the time, but does help somewhat. If I use the mouse to locate a sentence to make changes, it doesn’t always work. I then have to use the arrows to navigate but cannot select/highlight to delete or move. It’s difficult for me to explain fully what the problem is. Is there a way to pinpoint and diagnose what the problem actually is? Please respond soon as I am not sure if I should just bring this to a repair shop. Thanks, Nin

My Aspire E1-531 fan is making some violent noise, when I tap the bottom it stops for about a minute then starts making noise with some vibrations again. Could it be because of Dust or my fan is faulty? I’ve tried to blow it a few times but it seems not to help…

In reply to DD. @ DD,

I have the Acer E1-531 and the headphone jack has failed, will this require a new motherboard or is there a way of fault finding.

It depends how the jack failed. If there is a problem with the audio chipset on the motherboard, you'll need a new motherboard. If there is a problem with the audio jack, probably it can be replaced. Here's what you can try. Sometimes the audio jack stops working because there is dirt inside. Try inserting and removing the audio plug from your headphones/speakers into the jack a few times very quickly. Sometime it helps to clean up the contacts inside and the jack just starts working again.
