My acer aspire 5102WLMi laptop key pad and mouse freezes when i put it on?
As soon as l turn on my acer aspire 5102WLMi laptop, all the keys on the key pad dont work.I have tried my very best and its still the same. You cant go to SETUP by pressing F2 or restarting it by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL, it will go straight and load the windows to the password menu, nothing works. l just noticed this, l closed it when it had finished loading windows and it went to STAND BY, it came out of STAND BY after i had pressed any key on the key pad. My key pad works when my laptop is in a STAND BY mode. What should l do?
God bless u guyz

ok george,what io need you to do is turn on your laptop and gently tap the f8 key until you see a safe mode screen appear
then choose safe mode and wait for the desktop to load,once this has happened the select system restore(start>programs>accesories>system tools>system restore)
then select the ealiest restore point before this happened and then select next
upon restoring your laptop should boot up ok
altrenatively you may need to do a system recovery with the disk supplied with the laptop,however this may not work if the boot order is not set to cd rom first
finally you could go into safe mode again and the into power options,making sure you select a balanced option
good luck mate!
I have an Acer Aspire5583WXMi Notebook, that developed the same problem after a power surge. The Keyboard is freezed, but the mouse, touchpad is working. I used the visual keyboard to access Windows Vista. I am able to see all the programs and operate the computer using the visual keyboard and mouse. I tried connecting an external keyboard it too didnot work. The local service centre told, the mother board is gone :-(, but then how come I am able to run programs and all my files are intact? How to rectify this problem
personaly ..................... i hate my acer laptop ! if ur laptops still under warranty take it bak 2 the supplier ---------- n insist on a replacement (of any other make!) lol - failling that press fn +f1 n it gives u a menu (ive noticed that u MUST press the fn button on acer laptops b4 any f1,f2,f3 ect or even the volume/brightness buttons will work)
pressing fn + f7 activates my keypad/touchpad
