Title: acer aspire 3650 model bl52
Post by: jacksjacks53 on March 14, 2010, 07:04:56 AM

i have an acer aspire 3650 and i cannot get into the bios the keyboard and mouse do not seem to work i can boot the system with a cd like msdos but i cannot use the keyboard

i also had checksum errors

0251 and 0271
i removed the cmos battery for over an hour and replace the battery with a new one, the bios said it went back to default but i still cannot get into the bios, i have also tryed to flash the computer with fn and escape on startup, this also does not seem to work

i also loaded up ubcd with service pack2 and streamlined it in, the machine booted to the desktop with no keyboard and mouse support

i also tryed cmos programs 2.0 to clean the cmos i found that the touch pad and click pad were working so i was able to clean the cmos.
also the cds will not boot if the harddrive is connected in the computer ie windows

can anyone please help me. ::)

What do you mean you can't get into the bios?

Acer - Aspire, Power, Veriton, Extensa, Ferrari, TravelMate, Altos

Press Del or F2 immediately after powering on.
The BIOS on the Acer Altos 600 server uses the Ctrl+Alt+Esc key and the F1 key for advanced options.
Older Acer computers may use also use the F1 or Ctrl+Alt+Esc keys to access BIOS.

It has to be tapped repeatedly on startup and way before you see the Windows splash screen...

In your first post you said you "cleaned the cmos". What does that mean?

Also, maybe we should start at the beginning. What was the original problem that led to all of this?
