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

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.
