BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/
Output System).
Your computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not need to run this utility. However, if 
you encounter configuration problems, you may need to run Setup.  Please also refer to Chapter 4 
Troubleshooting when problem arises.
To activate the BIOS Utility, press 
m during POST.
Navigating the BIOS Setup Utility
There are two menu options:  Startup and Exit
Follow these instructions:
TTo choose a menu option, use the cursor left/right keys (zx).
TTo choose a parameter, use the cursor up/down keys ( wy).
TUse  key to select a control. Then press  button or e key to accept entries.
TTo change the value of a parameter, please follow the directions on each screen. If you like to 
assign the boot device, please go to Boot Device then use the cursor up/down keys ( wy) to 
select a boot device.

							38Chapter 2
Startup
The Startup screen displays a summary of your computer hardware information, and also includes basic setup 
parameters. After you enter BIOS, you will first see the system information on the first page, then you can use 
the cursor up/down keys ( wy) to select the parameter you like to change. 
NOTE: The screen above is for reference only. Actual values may differ.
.
The items in this screen are important and vital information about your computer.  If you experience computer 
problems and need to contact technical support, this data helps our service personnel know more about your 
computer.
ParameterDescription
Date and Time Sets the system date and time. Please use  key going to the item you like to change.
Boot Device Sets the boot device of the system. 
						

							Chapter 239
Exit
The Exit screen contains parameters that help safeguard and protect your computer from unauthorized use.
The table below describes the parameters in this screen.
ParameterDescription
Save and Exit Saves changes made and reboot the system.
Exit (No Save) Discards changes made and exits the BIOS Setup Utility.
Default Settings Loads default settings for all parameters.

BIOS Flash Utility
The BIOS flash memory update is required for the following conditions:
TNew versions of system programs
TNew features or options
TRestore a BIOS when it becomes corrupted. 
Use the Flash utility to update the system BIOS flash ROM.
NOTE: If you do not have a crisis recovery diskette at hand, then you should create a Crisis Recovery 
Diskette before you use the Flash utility.
NOTE: Do not install memory-related drivers (XMS, EMS, DPMI) when you use the Flash.
NOTE: Please use the AC adaptor power supply when you run the Flash utility. If the battery pack does not 
contain enough power to finish BIOS flash, you may not boot the system because the BIOS is not 
completely loaded. 
Fellow the steps below to run Flash utility.
1.Prepare a bootable diskette.
2.Copy the Flash utilities to the bootable diskette.
3.Then boot the system from the bootable diskette. The Flash utility has auto-execution function.
System Diagnostic Diskette
IMPORTANT: 1The diagnostics program we use for Aspire 1310 is not exactly the same as PQA (Product 
Quality Assurance), the diagnostic program we used to employ in other model. The system 
diagnostic utilities is provided by Acer Headquarters. You can utilize it as a basic diagnostic tool. To 
get this program, find it on CSD website. To better fit local service requirements, your regional office 
MAY have other diagnostic program. Please contact your regional offices or the responsible 
personnel/channel to provide you with further technical details. The diagnostic program contains a 
readme file. Please read the readme file as you run the diagnostic program.
1New added description. Please pay attention to it. 
						

							Chapter 341
This chapter contains step-by-step procedures on how to disassemble the notebook computer for 
maintenance and troubleshooting.
To disassemble the computer, you need the following tools:
TWrist grounding strap and conductive mat for preventing electrostatic discharge
Tsmall Philips screwdriver
Tflat head screwdriver
TPhiliips screwdriver
Tnut screwdriver
Ttweezers
NOTE: The screws for the different components vary in size.  During the disassembly process, group the 
screws with the corresponding components to avoid mismatch when putting back the components. 
When you remove the stripe cover, please be careful not to scrape the cover.

General Information
Before You Begin
Before proceeding with the disassembly procedure, make sure that you do the following:
1.Turn off the power to the system and all peripherals.
2.Unplug the AC adapter and all power and signal cables from the system.
3.Remove the battery pack.
