Official Acer Aspire 5739G Owner's Lounge

Hello to everyone! I have a HUGE problem:
Bricked Lappy... Some Help?
I tryed with recovery instructions (Fn+esc and power on ) many times... at the beginning the lights flash...but no recovery even leaving it stay 1 hour ... last time light start to flash and then it remain fixed but after many minutes nothing happened
so i unplugged power cord again but now it doesn't on... pushing power button nothing ,and i mean nothing, happens...
Some suggestion? i was trying to upgrading to v3311 bios from acer original page

 

BIOS corrupted, so probably best bet is to remove the BIOS chip from the motherboard and have it flashed/buy another chip pre flashed. But, someone else might have some help for you. This is why people don't like flashing BIOS from windows.

I tried TPFanControl by troubadix new ACFanControl_setup.zip v0.72ti built 20101004 (ACFanControl_setup.exe, 818 kByte) version and it could only get it to turn the fan on/off. Then I downloaded an .ini from German forum and it started working and controlling itself the fan properly, even has 2 smart modes included in .ini.

All the credit for the .ini config goes to the guy in the link or whoever created it.

Works fine for my notebook. Cooler is working as cooler of MacBooks

Here is the link for the download.

 

I wonder if anyone has had a similar issue to mine.

My orginal hard drive died on me last week. Thus I ordered a new one and the recovery cds for my laptop. Installed the cds just fine, restarted the computer and you get to windows setting up devices. It then fails here and restarts the computer. You then see the windows logo and after that it goes to setup is starting services.

I then get this error

Windows could not complete the installation. To install windows on this computer, restart installation. Ok maybe something went wrong during the setup, so I formatted the drive and tried again. Got the same thing so I installed Linux Mink 14 to make sure it was not the new drive. That installed just fine so im left scratching my head. Is the recovery cds not going to work without that magical partition Acer puts on its computer when you get it? Anyone else seen this error?

I could use my OEM disk and install win7 but my COA key is unreadable on the laptop, they really went with a cheap sticker since XP.

Thanks for any help/advice.

I am not entirely sure what causes this issue, but its very likely that some driver is missing or something. Maybe that theres no acer partition, but anyway: Why would you want to install the acer OEM windows 7? Its just full of crap Acer thrash shareware and stuff. Just grab yourself an original Windows 7 install CD/DVD and make a clean Windows 7 install...All the Drivers are on the internet anyways.

Sad to hear that your sticker is unreadable, my sticker is actually also worn out and you cant read it anymore, but the windows 7 key is still perfectly readable. I think they have printed or made the key in a special way so that it does not rub off...at least for mine


nice to see this thread living again

How did you overclocked your GPU ? What Software did you used for it and how are the temperatures (Idle/Load) ?

 

The Software I use is an old version of EVGA Precision, namely 2.1.2
Its the final version of the 2.x series, you can download it here
I would not use the newer versions because a) they wont give you any additional functionality (they are made for the new graphics cards), b) they are not as slim and lightweight as 2.1.2 and c) because 2.1.2 is working fine with all latest drivers

So I would recommend you to use this version. The new versions have a lot of features that are for newer cards, such as power targets etc., which you dont need. You just wanna have the gpu/shader and mem clocks, so 2.1.2 is perfectly suitable for this. Maybe even a 1.x version will do (have not tested though)

Anyway, I start this program along with windows via a startscript that also runs my quietHDD (for increased drive performance and life) and ThrottleStop (for undervolting CPU)
Nice thing is, you just need to start the program, set the values (or load a profile), press apply and then you can close the program. The graphics card will keep the settings until you reboot.
Here you can see my settings and what it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/YS4jm1h.png

Note that the available increments of EVGA-P. do not exactly match the available increments or your graphics card.
Basically 643 matches, the next higher value in EVGA-Precision is 649, but GPU will go to 648. Shaders are 1431 vs.1427.
So just that you dont wonder why the shader is set to 1414 but goes to 1418.
Same with the memory. Its basically maxed out. You could actually set 948, but it will stay at 945.

I have shader and gpu clock linked (I think they should be linked, I dont know exactly though but I dont really want to twerk it to the max, I am quite satisfied with this, but feel free to try out) and this is a very stable setting for me (running this since 1.5 years and no drop-outs/crashes ever since)
Any setting 10-15MHz over this got me crashes in the first month of overclocking (when I was testing out what would be the max possible stable setting)

But the settings can be totally different for your graphics card.

Temps are around 35-40°C idle and 63-72°C on load. Depending on room temperature and surface the laptop is standing on. So I am quite satisfied with it.


kind regards

Alright, i had those settings some months ago, but I wanted to know, if you have used another Programm
But thanks for the nice reply

 

Hello!

Fantastic to find a forum for my old workhorse

The only upgrade I'v done so far is to switch to an 60gb SSD, as expected, it was an amazing difference. Plus I'v got 8 gigs of ram.
And Im running windows 8 (not that impressed so far), do I need any particular drivers for this? Stuff like "the green button" makes no difference,and I don't think the audio is the best anymore.

Though 60gb is to little, so I was thinking about replacing the dvd/bluray with this: SATA 2nd Hard Drive HDD SSD Caddy for Acer Aspire 5739 5739G 5739Z 5739ZG New | eBay
Will It look ok on this model, Im thinking about the shape of the outside of the dvd compared to this one?

And as I'v read through quite a lot of the treads here, I see many of you has replaced your cpu's. I'v thought about this for a while, is it worth it?
I have P8700 cpu and GT 240M gpu. Mostly for fun, I made this list of cpu's (I think) will fit the computer, and compare them with mine (and also the fastest mobile cpu's there is): Mobile Processors - Benchmarklist - NotebookCheck.net Tech the P8700 there's quite a gap, even to the cheapest T9600 Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 2 8 GHz Dual Core ZY510AV Processor | eBay. The top one's costs at least the double :S

Whats your opinion about cpu replacement?

Regards
/Alfred

 

I would not recommend you to upgrade your CPU in this system

the whole Core2 platform is just too old and the bonus performance is too little to be worthwhile, as you already have a quite good CPU of the core2 series.

just save the money for a future new gen - system. even some "old" i3s perform way better than Core2Duo.

its jsut not woth the money, except you can get a cheap one (like <50$) which but is very unlikely

 

Thanks for your reply!
Thats what I thought, maybe intel t9600 | eBay If I see one with a good price. But I suppose I could do some overclock on my cpu aswell.

But how about a secondary hdd? Will this one work? SATA 2nd Hard Drive HDD SSD Caddy for Acer Aspire 5739 5739G 5739Z 5739ZG New | eBay
It's said to be for this computer, but from the picture, the outside looks all flat. The dvd on the pc is not all flat on the outside, If you understand what I mean

 

I went from a p8700 to a t9600. I noticed very little difference except the cpu gets alot hotter. Even though I have undervolted very far. I have 6770m though, so naturally struggle for temperature.

If you want real performance boost, you have to put in your notebook T9900 or X9100. These processors are not cheap at all. And, in addition you have to put good GPU and SSD. All these upgrades costs good money. Think good, if you really need these upgrades. For example, my notebook was upgraded, when X9100 was 180-200 $ in ebay. The only thing that I want to upgrade now is my GPU. I want to change it to 7770M, or M400 or 6770M

 

What do you think of this one: SATA 2nd Hard Drive HDD SSD Caddy for Acer Aspire 5739 5739G 5739Z 5739ZG New | eBay Or you suggest another one?

 

Just buy any sata 12.7mm optical Bay to hard drive converter. Mine was cheap from china. Doesn't have to say for acer 5739. Make sure it is sata to sata though not pata.

Finally I`ve ordered M4000. At mondey it will be shipped! Three upgrades left:

Upgrade No1, Upgrade No2 and Upgrade No3.

After all these upgrades there`ll be no need on changing the laptop for 2-3 years.

 

Also ordered an M4000 should be here in the next couple weeks.

The 7770m at 950/1500 is bottlenecked with an x9100 at 3.6ghz....

 

Meaker, do you have installed X9100 E0 stepping? Overclocked X9100 - has to be very hot beast.

 

Hello guys,

2day i pulled up my old gt130m than swapped gts250m.it is really faster than old one even without driver in desktop mode.whatever..here is the problem after i swapped it windows saw GTS 250M standard vga graphic driver.Its ok cus old one was gt130m meaning i installed gforce 100m series driver.After all these i searched driver from nvidia site and dowloaded it.The DRV version is WHQL 327.23.But the driver not support it .is there anything else that i can do ?

Win7 64 bit, im sure nothng wrong with driver.
i bought new.And these are all i know about card.

the orginal bios(from gpu z)
https://hotfile.com/dl/248042150/53636fa/GT215.rar.html

"propolkin" my friend tried to helped me but we couldnt solved the problem yet :/ he also suggest "314.22-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe" that driver but it didnt work too.

and the other friend from ths forum sugget thats web site LaptopVideo2Go: Drivers for find right driver.in this site u will see 2 blank box for write information about ur own card.Than i opened GPU-Z i took the hardware id " 10DE-0CA9" and wrote it the "0CA9" in first blank.i searched and found after i download i tried the install it but again i got eror " not support ".

The other think is i didnt install new notebook bios yet.it has still orginal bios since i bought.
"propolkin" told me to install the 3310 bios and also the new bios include new devices in it ? is it help in that problem ?

regards

 

As I said, it possibly can help to fix your problem (updating BIOS version), but not 100%. Hope someone will help you too with that issue.

 

when i arrived home my first job will be install the bios "3310".

 

yo mate need help for another 2 problem and i thnk u allready known these.. 1 st the cd rom is not visible sometimes 2nd the speaker makes iritating noise :s when i using headphone.

at last i didnt install bios update yet ?

 

CD-ROM is not visible? It is not visible at Device Manager or where? About speakers - what kind of noise? Are you voice-chatting with someone (by skype, for example), when you are using headphone?

 

I used to get headphone noise because of the Realtek HD drivers. I found I had set the audio quality to a high frequency (in the hope of improved sound) Once I dropped this to standard 44Khz or something it was fine again. Alternatively you may not have the latest speaker driver.

 

sometimes its not visible in device manager(IN MY COMPUTER ALSO) when i restart again its ok :s
the voice problem is not according to som program its always like that when i jacked headphone its allways coming noisy sound :s but in notebook speakers nothing wrong the voice is good.it starts when i jacked headphone or speaker"4+1 or smt else"

 

thnx mate, im gonna try latest driver.. than i ll write result here.
do u remember which version drv u installed ?

regards

 

Always the latest. Should be 2.71 I think? I'd recommend downloading from CNET servers because realteks website is super slow at downloading.

About CD-ROM, maybe it is not fully attached to a notebook. Maybe it is faulty. Try to swap it by another, if you have such possibility. About sound - Avora is right, at most cases it is outdated or bad driver, try to update it.

For example my CD-ROM always is correctly recognized by notebook, but it can`t read almost all CD`s. It is related to UDMA Mode 4 that can be enabled or disabled through device manager.

 

Can`t wait arrival anymore of my M4000.

 

You will never guess what I have just received today.

 

Hey Avora,

I purchased AMD's m4000 and installed it in my 5739g and it black screened. I reinstalled my 240m I updated the bios to 3310 and disabled my 240m Drivers. Did you have to mod the bios for this?

During my install I messed something up because now my computer wont even show the screen when I put the 240m back in.

I also tried the hold the power button to let out any power and also tried the external monitor.

 

The card is actually fitted to my 5935g. Not my 5739g. But there shouldn't be a problem. I did not modify the BIOS for the video card or the laptop. Could it be that something has been damaged/shorted during installation?

In other news I scored a P2340 in 3dmark11 with the bog standard clocks.

Congrats, Avora! One thing - I don`t understand, why did you get it faster, than me? I`ve ordered mine at 27, and it is only at DUESSELDORF at that moment . Damn, damn, damn. Can`t wait, I want this card!

 

Awesome Score! Looking forward to being there soon myself.

Yeah I think something did short. battery was in it and my screw driver slipped and fell into the bottom of the exposed laptop and touched the motherboard near the wifi card and it sparked. lol Diagnostic time.

I'll probably have to replace the mobo

thanks for the info.

Enjoy the m4000!

 

I ordered on the 24th. It also didn't have as far to go.

One word of warning though is it comes with a bracket attached. This needs to be removed, and to do it safely you need to heat the sticky tape they use on it. Wasn't a job I enjoyed.
Schoolboy error bluecapt74. Always remove any power from electronics before you go anywhere near them. Lesson learned I hope. ;-)

Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk now Free

 

Haha, Schoolboy error for sure!
Yeah the bracket came off easily for me, luckily.

thanks for the help!

Hopefully I'll have good news soon!

 

About which bracket you are talking about? Can you post photos of it? And this card as I know has to be with 2 Gb of GDDR5, no?

Avora, does this card heats strongly or it can be compared with gt240m in that point?

 

You have to remember two basic, an most important of course, rules - first, remove the battery, second, when it is possible, remove BIOS battery. Third - be always grounded. But, anybody can make a mistake, that`s okay.

 

Some of the PR80c cards are 2GB some are 1GB. This one is a 1GB. Which lets face it for a laptop is more than sufficient.

This is the bracket you will have to remove.



The card seems to be warm indeed, mid 70's full load. But I haven't tested enough. I couldn't compare to the GT240m as I have never had one.

 

But this is some kind heatsink, no?

 

It's a mounting plate. Designed for the Dell the card came from. It won't fit the 5739g with this in place. As it doesn't need one. My 5935g needed a longer thread. It may spread some heat. But not what it is designed for.

Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk now Free

 

Damn. And what if I use longer screws? It can be removed just by heating with heat-gun?

 

With the back of a screwdriver. Press each corner gently and repeat until it pops on the other side. If nothing happens, press it more firmly... until it breaks, kidding It's much safer than any heat applying trick.

@Avora - congrats for the new monster GPU

 

Make sure you don't use a heat gun. I lightly heated with a normal hair dryer. Not a sustained blast.

The screwdriver and a gentle push works every time. May need a tooth pick to loosen some of the sticky pad as well. I did.

Yes it is a bit of a beast to say the least.

Today my card must be delivered!

Updated: My card is delivered to me! at evening I`ll check it, when I`ll be at home. By now I can say, that at the connector I can see some scratches. Hope it will not affect on the functionality.

 

Finaly I got my M4000 installed on the notebook. But there is two problems: 1. the GPU is not fully fit to heatsink, I have had to spread lot of thermal paste to ensure the contact of GPU and heatsing. 2. Drivers, downloaded from amd site are not correctly installing. I installed drivers, but at device manager I still can see "Standard VGA adapter". What could be the problem?

 

You'll probably need a square of copper. I did. My drivers were already installed from my 6770m. So had no issues. But you'll probably have to search for whql drivers and directly download and install them. Amd have a weird detection problem with mobile cards for some reason.

Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk now Free

 

I have whql drivers. strange... What thiknes is your copper square? It is dangerous, as I understand, because the GPU can be damagedby it.
