    Hello people,

    Because my own pc crashed, a friend allows me to use his laptop... unfortunatly i bumped on several problems:

    first of all, i cannot get online. I tried to make a connection to my wireless network but the network wizard says i dont have a wlan card. (and who knows what else is missing to make this connection..)
    Ive tried to find the right drivers for this model, but i cant find them on the acer support website.

    Second, there is no audio available

    Third, the keyboard is set in querty, while it should be azerty! very annoying. I've googled this, and found shortkeys (left shift+control) but doesnt work...

    I am typing this message on a small notebook that is almost ready for the trash, it only has usb, so is it possible for me to download drivers on usb to copy it on the acer laptop anyway? or do i need a cd drive?

    Phew! Your wisdom is needed, i'd be extremely gratefull

    regards
    C

    A bit late but there are two buttons at the front of the laptop, right in the middle below the latch. Once you boot the laptop up, press the right hand button. An orange light should come up. This needs to be done every time the 1652 is removed from a source of power (both battery and plug removed).

    Audio...try FN+F8 or FN+Up Arrow.

    I have no idea about the keyboard.
