Preface 

 

Before using this information and the product it supports, please read the following general information. 

1.

 

This Service Guide provides you with all technical information relating to the BASIC CONFIGURATION decided 

for Acer's "global" product offering. To better fit local market requirements and enhance product competitiveness, 

your regional office may have decided to extend the functionality of a machine (e.g. add-on card, modem, or extra 

memory capability). These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered in this generic service guide. In such 

cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible personnel/channel to provide you with further 

technical details. 

 

2. Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the most up-to-date information available on 

your regional web or channel. If, for whatever reason, a part number change is made, it will not be noted in the 

printed Service Guide. For ACER-AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your Acer office may have a 

DIFFERENT part number code to those given in the FRU list of this printed Service Guide. You MUST use the list 

provided by your regional Acer office to order FRU parts for repair and service of customer machines.
