      If the internal keyboard of your Acer Laptop is not working or displaying unexpected characters, ensure the flexible cable extending from the keyboard is correctly seated in the connector on the system board.

      If memory errors occur on your Acer Laptop, potentially stopping system operations, showing error messages, or hanging the system, ensure that the DIMM is fully installed into the connector. A loose connection can cause an error. You may also boot from the diagnostics diskette to start the diagnostics program, go to the diagnostic memory in the test items, press F2 in the test items, and follow the instructions in the message window.
