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, you should check the most up-to-date information
available on your regional web or channel. For whatever reason, if 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.
