My BMW Acer Travelmate 8204 WLMI !!![]()
I received mine about 2 weeks ago and I am in love with it!:dude: :awdance:
My machine's build date is 06/03 and it does not have much of the problems that are mentioned here.
I belive my LCD actually got brighter when I updated the BIOS to 3313. I strongly recommend updating BIOS to anyone with unsatisfying brightness.
I also installed the New driver: 8.231 (released 04/12/06) which I found at ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/note...e_8200/driver/
(It has all the Acers drivers you need! very useful! take a look!)
and my laptop is much better and faster! please click the following link if you want to see the exact number and % increased
goto http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=49206 and you will get more information!
I put BMW emblem on beautiful carbon fiber and I think it looks great!!
I was going to put Ferrari emblem I got from ebay, but the quailty of sticker was not so good(even though it said "OFFICIAL" :thumbdown )
so I just replaced it with this authentic BMW logo that was acutally designed for BMW steering wheel!![]()
Also I installed NuShield today and it is absolutely wonderful! I was bit unsatisfied with my LCD because I prefer glare over matte look
because I use it mostly for entertainment purpose at home, so I love the glare finish even though some people hates it!![]()
Again, those of you who are not so happy with the LCD, I suggest you download latest bios (mine is 3313) and get NuShield!
I will post the before and after picture of NuShield on my acer on future post upon request!

can you check your 11th and 12th digits of the Serial Number that is the actual week of 2006 and thus build number.
Thanks -
That screen looks great!. I wish mine looked like that. I'll take a pic to show my screen defects. ACER repair ignored my complaint regarding the screen!!?!.
Sorry to be a pain, but where did you get the new bios?. -
ftp.support.acer-europe.com
Look in notebooks/travelmate_8200/bios
The one that's there now is 3315.zip
