Anyone else tried putting a different thing than the foam tape? A different kind of tape or material? :confused:

I think the problem reoccurs because the foam tape is not the best magnetic insulator (I may be wrong on this one, that's why I'm asking)..

I have Win 8 and the old VGA driver. It got better since I've installed it, but it's still happening.

I don't want to go through all that work to find out that in a couple of weeks the problem will appear again.

Thanks for the info!!! :D

if anybody has a permanent fix for this problem please share.installing old driver is not a solution its a hardware problem.
[General Questions and Answers] farinellobvom:
Lets be happy again

Hi guys!

I found a solution for this problem. I hope it will be permanent this time. It has been 5 days since I found it and it has been a release not to have to stop to do anything all the time because of it.

After I installed the old drivers this problem got much better but still happening, and as all of you know it drives any person crazy. As it happens in different systems (Windows 7, 8 or linux) I concluded that it was a hardware fault. Last week I just got tired of it so I took the back chassis and touched different cables and areas with laptop on. I found that touching 2 cables next to the hard drive the ghost touch would start and touch them with the metal case would produce the same bad effect. So I moved the cable of the green arrow to the space next to the hard drive and put a tape holding it at the same place. It has been 5 days with no ghost touch. It did happens once when I moved the laptop so I opened it again and one of the cables did move and was touching the chassis. I put it on place again and the ghost touch was gone.

I hope it would be permanent, share it in all forums you can find. I ask all of you to try different methods to insulate these cables from each other and the chassis so we will get rid of ghost touch forever.

Good luck for all and share as much as you can.

Bluetooth?

I know some of these devices support Bluetooth. And I bought one of those Intel 7260 wireless combo cards to make that possible. I've gotten the wireless part up and working easily after a driver installation. But Bluetooth is something I have no clue how to get up and running, looking around before I started said I needed to install Bluetooth before I installed Wi-Fi, and I have done so. To no avail however.

Under the device manager the card clearly shows Bluetooth under its own properties, bit the device controller only shows Wi-Fi. I'm currently downloading the atheros driver, as Acer q&a states when updating windows 7 to windows 7sp1 Bluetooth support may be lost. So I'm hoping all the laptop needs to see is a familiar driver to show the Bluetooth toggle or something.

Anyhow, that's what I'm on my way doing. What I'd like to know is if anyone already did this, and could save me the trouble of looking everywhere and give me a working solution. Or just tell me something on the lines of me needing a different version of Acer ring only on hardware sold with the feature enabled... This shouldn't be so complicated...

EDIT:

Bluetooth does work and connect to my tablet keyboard. I am not certain to if it can accept and interpret data, my tablet and laptop do not detect each other. And device control does not display Bluetooth toggling... hopefully there is a resolve.

[General Questions and Answers] hazza666:
After giving up on my iconia and shelving it after a botched repair attempt its finally working again. During a second attempt of the foam tape fix i managed to tear the ribbon cable to the top LCD panel (embarrassing for a former acer repair tech lol). Anyway i got very lucky and managed to source a fairly cheap replacement screen so its back up and running again.

Has anyone tried any other OS's for this unit yet? I'm thinking of maybe sticking android or ubuntu on mine just to see how they run and if its possible. I would be interested to know if anyone has also tried this and if so any issues/experiences.

I would also be interested to see how others have set up there desktop etc. Below is some pictures of my setup...........

Ghost touch solved

Hi guys!!!

After lots of tries I found a solution for the ghost touch. The problem is on the top screen. To solve it you need to take off both screws on the bottom of the top screen, gently open the top screen (not completely). On the right bottom side where the right screw fits, if you look inside you will see a metal part with the screw hole. Get common electrical tape and put over it so it is electrically insulate, cover all the metal even the screw hole. Reassemble the top screen, put the screws back and it is done. I found that the laptop became more responsive and the fan doesn't work as much as it was before, so it was affecting more than just the screens.

I hope it helps all of you as it did help me.

[General Questions and Answers] swiss420:
Has anyone found some alternativ Windows 8 Keyboards? I did find Hot Virtual Keyboard. Which seems to allow a multitude of configurations.

http://hot-virtual-keyboard.com/screenshots/

I am using it right now and it is umbelievably customizable. I can only recomend you try it out. Thats how Microsoft should have done the OSK. Some layouts are very creativ and I can only recomend you give it a try.

---------------------------------------------

In other news I have been searching the Internet for solutions to the Ghost Touch problems. And found many ways among the same ones that have been posted here already.

- Screw insulation, Tape, etc.

All in all one thing is clear. Responsible for the Touches is EMI or Electromagnetic interference. Anything that discharges or better yet not allow them to be build up will solve the Ghost touches. Dry vs Humid Environments (Winter/Summer) will also see more Ghost Touches. So insulation in the right area will probably help it. Also if you ground it will discharge it. If anyone has nice step by step instructions Images etc. please post or write me a PM and I will post the instructions.

PS: Credits go to all the people that have been tinkering around with this problem. Among them the post in the EEVblog found here;

Finally giving it a go

I have pulled my 6120 out of the cupboard which I gave up on after it got plagued with ghost touch a long while ago. I'd like to have a go at the solution you mention, so far I have taken out the two bottom screws on the top screen. Now I have no idea how to take the screen apart, I have searched the web for some walkthroughs but all links seem dead. Can anyone help, I really don't want to wreck the thing! I have taken many things apart before but this screen doesn't seem obvious at all.

@ Andymclamb

i am having trouble with the russian recovery disks posted on page 1, is there any way you could help med with an upload of your recovery media ?

Atm i have one of theese in my hands but would love to see how it runs on original software before i try windows 10 on it :)

Btw when i got it yesterday it was completely ****ed. someone had run a HP recovery media on it and erased the original recovery drive :(
[General Questions and Answers] Hindpsyht:
Are you still looking for the recovery disc? I happened to get my hands on a few of these after going back and forth on whether I "needed" one and while searching for information I came across a mega link with the full iso. I can try to dig through my history to find it if you're still looking for the iso.

On another note, has anyone been able to get the acer ring and the OSK to work like it's supposed to. When I installed Windows 8.1 and tried installing the applications from the iso the OSK would come up like it was supposed to, but anytime I tried to click on the lower screen, the device just beeps at me. I tried force closing the keyboard, but it kept restarting, rendering the lower screen useless. I ended up doing a full reinstall of windows and have not tried installing any of the apps this time.

Few other random questions.

Are both of the screens identical? I have a few that have damaged screens, but if they are the same screen I was thinking about taking two 1/2 working ones to end up with 1 that works properly.

Is the slot adjacent to the wifi card a mini pcie slot or has anyone managed to get it to work with a standard msata drive?

Does anyone know where a replacement lower cover, battery, or power adapter can be purchased?

Does anyone know if the processor is soldered on or could I replace it with an i7 720QM or 820QM?

Sorry for the text wall, but I was just interested to see if there were any new developments.
[General Questions and Answers] aquasesh:
I do have that ISO with all the applications and drivers in it. Also got a link for download if needed.

You are raising good questions. Would be nice to keep a storage drive and boot of a mSata drive.

The processors are not soldered on. Its just a standard socket G1 ( http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/montrealappletech/io50267.jpg )

It uses the Intel HM55 Express chipset and a G1 socket (BGA1288), so all CPUs found here should be supported http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_(chipsets)/HM55_Express.html

I might take the plunge and get one of the i7 and see what happens. I will check what is compatible when it comes to power and temps.

I also would like to know what kind of ram did you put in there. I heard 16GB ends up being buggy or shouldn't work, as the HM55 chipset only support 8GB or better 256*8bit modules.
[General Questions and Answers] Hindpsyht:
Follow Up

Nice to know that there are still people playing around with these things.

I came across some interesting information while looking at a possible wifi/bt card upgrade for my 6120. Apparently mpcie slots can be broken down into slots with pcie lines, slots with pcie lines and usb lines, and slots with only usb lines. If the mpcie slot has both pcie and usb lines, then the intel 7260 I was looking at would work for both wifi and bluetooth. If it lacks the usb lines, then the bluetooth may not be usable. To use a msata drive in the mpcie slot would require a drive with a controller built in based on my research and they are scarce and pricey. If I ever have the chance to get one, I'll definitely let you know how it goes.

As for processors, I was thinking of giving an i7 8## a shot, probably the 840, but I might have to start testing with a 7## chip depending on what I can get for fairly cheap. Thanks for the picture of the board, I was really hesitant on gambling, but now I'm ready to pull the trigger whenever I find a good price.

Have you had any issues with charging your 6120? Whenever I plug it in while it's on, it doesn't charge the battery at all and only seems to slow down the battery drain slightly. It might be because I'm using universal power adapters for it, but I'm not sure. I heard that the first wave of 6120s had two components to their power adapter, one being a filter for the incoming power and I'm wondering if that might be what's causing my issues. I might just need to buy a power adapter that is rated for the exact voltage and amperage that the 6120 is rated for.

Anyways, thanks for the info and hopefully we make some progress where the thread seemed to die off.

Take care.

Ghost Touch

People. Next. I managed to solve the ghost touch with a simple procedure. But after solved you will need to open the top and bottom to make the solution internally. What I did was open the bottom, put a metal plate screwed into one of the hd screws. This plate I bent and bowed so she ground the bottom cover (that of low piece of aluminum) because the plate is pressed against it when you close the lid. Woe to land the top I caught a wire, peeled the tips, with very wide scotch tape (the kind that used to close boxes at the post office) I glued the ends stripped wire one on the top cover and one in the bottom cover, to make a electrical connection therebetween. I made a fan with the wire lint for the contact to be the best. The problem seems to be over. Precisely because it is due to static electricity and what did force downloading the covers in the lap of the chassis. After patiently I'll open and find a way to pass this wire internally along with the upper monitor cable or'll use one of the existing wires if any der ground when I measure with the multimeter. But before I'll use so another month to see if really the issue is resolved. Free upgraded to Windows 10. A tip is to leave the default driver of Windows 10 to the sound. Put the Realtek site will be popping from time to time. Will then Devices and Printers and configures to not update drivers for windows update. The cypress driver works perfectly. The most updated video driver does not cause more trouble, but is required to run Metro programs without elements are defective. The acer keyboard as well. As the ring I do not care or worry. There is an option I forget which is which puts the button on the bar to move windows between monitors. Not active, but will stay in bsod loop and will need to make System Restore. I advise using driverbooster of iobit to update all drivers, not forgetting to clear the sound. At the end you will be missing a USBHUB driver. The lower the acer site, install and then use the driverbooster to update it. Good luck to everyone who bought this time bomb of acer.

Hello! I hope there are still some People outthere using this little exiting Laptop.

I got now an Acer Iconia PAU30 with Intel i5-480M CPU, 6GB (4+2) DDR3 RAM a d 750GB HDD.

The original System was hardly infected with Malware, so i did a clean Install with Windows 11 Professional 22H2 64bit.

Unforgently I cannot find any Drivers or other original Acer Software for it, only the Intel Graphics Driver and the Recovery ISO i downloaded from the Link in this Thread (Thank you very much for keeping the ISO online!).

I plan to replace the one 2GB DDR3 with an 4GB DDR3 having the same

Specs with the other one to run it in Dual-Channel Mode and replace the HDD with an 2,5" Crucial SSD with reinstalling Windows 11.

I have the Problems with this Ghost Touches too, does anyone have a Solution to fix this Problem permanently? I think i have to open it for a Service (Cleaning it insinde and the Cooling Fan, rennew the Cool Paste on the CPU) so i could look for cables having any contac5 with the Chassis.

I wod be very happy and greatful for any bit of helpful informations, software, drivers and anything else about it. At the Acer Support Homepage is nothing to find about it.

Was wondering if there is a 2.3.5 Rom around with Sense 3 BUT with the option of having the old Sense 2.1 lock screen.
