I have an acer aspire 5520
Can a faulty or dyeing cmos battery affect the laptop from recognizing the Optical drive, I have power to the drive as I can open it and light flashes.

3 days ago there was a sudden flash and bang from my Acer 5520. Somewhere towards the back. No smell and everything still seems to be working normally. Still using it.
Any ideas? Regards

Hello acer 5520 and the hard drve went bad i picked up a new one but it wont mount and cant run a cd or usb to load an operation program. When i try to go into bios it asks for the password. I got the laptop used and was wondering if i need to remove the cmos battery or is there a way to jump it so i can enter the bios menu… thanks

I have a laptop acer aspire 5520 and it has power but I can not get the WI-FI to work. I tried everything. I take it to BEST BUY and they can connect to their own WI-FI. Also I called our website subscriber ATT but they also failed to get the WI-FI to work. There is no light in WI-FI icon. How come I can not connect to our own WI-FI????Please help.

In reply to thirdie alvarez. @ thirdie alvarez,

Did acer aspire 5520g laptop used a toshiba hdd2d92.? Or the technician that my sister recommended changed it.?

Cannot tell. Very often laptop manufacturers use different hard drive brands.
