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

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.
