    mmm opening up a laptop needs to be approached carefully; especially when dealing with the keyboard assembly…

    Likely the stuff you spilled into the laptop is of an oil based nature… and that will have “clotted” or coagulated to some degree. It will be pain to remove… but can be done; and yes the keyboard assembly may well need to be accessed/removed in order to do it.

    If it’s just one or two keys that appear to be a problem – and you seem to imply that is the case – you may be able to remove the individual key caps and clean out some (hopefully most/all) of the guck that is around each of those particular keys?

    Isopropyl alchohol may may be decent and safe solvent. Apply with a Q-tip (ensure the tip is not shedding fibres); and/or a small paint brush (think of an artist’s water colour or oil paint brush) – possibly use both Q-tip and paint brush.

    Some of the oil may have penetrate deeper into the system innards; but I’m not inclined to think that at this juncture. My own experience with users spilling liquids into a keyboard (tea/coffee/water etc. – and it happens way too often in broadcasting environments…) is that generally it only gets into the immediate area around the keys… Each key is usually in its own mini well as it were… which to some extent limits to the chances of liquids getting further into the innards; and if the liquid is of more viscous/thicker than water etc. by nature, then likely it will be even less inclined to get there?

    You have nothing to lose if you feel up to removing the indivudual key caps and cleaning out as above?

    Ensure there is absolutely “no power” of any sort going into the laptop; mains or battery. Remove both completely and wait a minute or two before proceeding with cleaning efforts.

    What make and model laptop is this?

    And of course… in future keep all such liquids – in fact any liquid – well clear of any keyboard and computer in general… And maybe even use this experience as a good time to start cutting down on e-cigarrettes etc. if that is what was actually happening at the time of the spilage? Besides the health benefits, think of the cash you’ll save – for other more useful “toys etc…”?

    Thanks Mikelenius!
    For those who need more detailed instructions, here is what needs to be done:
    1. Find out what button you need to press to enter the BIOS settings. In my case it was the F1 key, but F2 or “del” and possibly others are also possible dependant on brand.
    2. Switch off computer completely.
    3. Switch on and enter the old BIOS password, immediately pressing the relevant key to enter Bios. You might hear a confirmation beep. If windows starts up, you have to repeat the procedure (2.,3.).
    4. Once Bios settings open, go to security settings,then “power on password”, which will show up as enabled.
    5. Select moving the cursor, then toggle to”disable” using F5/F6.
    6. Enter your old password and leave the space for the new password empty (“enter”, “enter”)
    7. Save and exit with F10
    The above procedure can also be used to change the BIOS Power on Password by entering a new password twice under 6.
    It is a good idea to have the BIOS password set for laptops that are often used out of home, with the increased risk of theft and loss. I have set mine again for my new laptop, and found out at the same time that my TPM module had been switched off (factory settings) on the BIOS settings, so I switched this on at the same time. If you have a computer with TPM, which you want to use, I recommend you check if it has been enabled. See less

    HDMI is not mentioned for the Display toggle

    Apparently you also have a VGA port.
    Try connecting a monitor to that.

    By the way, you can only connect one type of connection at a time to the monitor – DVI, VGA, or HDMI

    From the FAQs found for 5920G, and many other Acer models….

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: Power Issues or Will not Boot

    A:

    If the notebook does not power on:

    Make sure the ac adapter is correctly plugged into the notebook and into the power cord.

    If everything is plugged in correctly and it still will not power on, follow these steps to complete a ‘power reset’ of the notebook.

    1. Unplug the ac adapter. Keep ac adapter unplugged.
    2. Remove the battery and keep the battery unplugged.
    3. Hold the power button down for 15-20 seconds. (Nothing will appear on the display and none of the lights will light up.)
    4. Release the power button and plug in the ac adapter ONLY. (Please note that a power indicator light should be lit on the ac adapter when it is plugged in).
    5. Normally power on the notebook.
    6. If the unit does not power on, remove the ac adapter and insert the battery into the system.
    7. Plug the ac adapter back into the system, the battery charging indicator light will light up.
    If the battery charging indicator light does not light up, the ac adapter may not be providing proper power to the unit, and may need to be replaced.

    OK, sorry it took a while to get back to you.

    The stock Intel cooler is fine even for overclocking. I can only assume the difference between yours & Fingers temps is that he applied the thermal paste correctly & you did not.

    Here’s your overclock settings for 3.33GHz:

    CPU Clock Ratio = 10x
    Fine CPU Clock Ratio = +0.0

    CPU Host Clock Control = Enabled
    CPU Host Clock Frequency = 333MHz
    PCI Express Frequency = 100MHz

    (G)MCH Frequency Latch = 333MHz
    System Memory Multiplier = 2.00B

    The Latch & Multiplier always throw me off so hopefully I chose the right settings. If I’m correct, the CPU will run at 3.33GHz at 1333MHz FSB & the RAM will run at 667MHz DDR.

    You cannot overclock the onboard graphics. If you’re into gaming, buy a gaming video card, there’s no way around it.

    http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.a…

    The board only officially supports 1333MHz FSB (333MHz) but should be able to clock higher. The problem is the RAM is going to hold you back. You’re going to have to underclock the RAM to be able to overclock the CPU, which means the CPU:DRAM ratio will not be optimal.
