Acer Aspire 1694/1690 laptop power LED is on but screen is blank.

Problem: Acer Aspire 1694/1690 laptop died.

Symptoms: Power LED and hard disk LED lights up but screen remainds blank.

Fix: Unseat/remove the built-in wi-fi card from its socket. Turn on the laptop. Turn off laptop. And reseat/reinstall the wi-fi card again.

My Acer Aspire 1694/ 1690 laptop died yesterday. The power LED button lights up, the hard disk drive LED lights up, but the screen just remains blank. At first I thought the BIOS has become corrupted. Found some information online on how to flash my BIOS with a usb flashdrive, but it didn’t seem to work.  Tried turning on the laptop with the hard disk and RAM removed, but it didn’t help either.

Brought my laptop to the Acer Service Centre this morning. The tech twiddled with it, tried removing the hard disk and RAM too. Still nothing. He put back the RAM and removed the built-in Intel wi-fi card, powered it up and VOILA! This little phoenix rose from its ashes again. He then turned laptop off, reinstalled the hard disk and the wi-fi card and everything was back to normal. And he didn’t even want to charge me anything. Phew, and I thought this was my chance to go get a new laptop already

And it also thought me a very important lesson, BACK UP REGULARLY!

Special Bittorrent Client to Bypass Streamyx Throttling

Might as well write a new post about this. My favourite bittorrent application is a specially configured version of Bitcomet 0.64. It seems to bypass Streamyx’s throttling, maxing out my connection every time. You don’t have to perform port forwarding either. It seems to work better without port forwarding. You can download it here

Don’t change any of the settings for it. Just change your default download folder.

Additional Instructions:

For vista:
And if you have not increased the number of max half open connections on vista yet, do it asap.

http://torrentfreak.com/optimize-vista-for-bittorrent-emule-p2ptv/

that link will show u how to do so on vista.the default half open connections on vista is only 2 ( default for xp is only 10). This means that your computer can only wait for 2 other connections.this slows down bittorrent a lot.

Edit: Recently got an e-mail from user named ‘WARNING!’ for Vista users who have the latest security patch: Do not use this patch because it will mess up your Vista. So if this has happened to anyone, I apologize. See the comment 3 below for more info.

For windows xp:
follow this link to remove the limit on half open connections. i set mine to 500

hope this helps

PS. This seems to work best for people on windows xp. A Vista user reports tremendous increase in his bittorrent download speed by performing the TCP/IP patch.
