My CD can't be read any more and I need to reinstall the system. Anyone got those 3 CDs that they can upload an image for me? rachelfth at aol dot com Thanks

Mine got damaged and I need to restore one of my Acers. I need the one with the XP Pro on it and all the drivers for the wireless, etc etc. I have a couple 1712smi acers and can't find my second acer set and my primary one is damaged. ...

Yes, that IS the inverter. There is a great shop in Ohio you can mail it to and be fixed for a hundred or so. I have done it. They all fade after a time anyway, and now this one is nearly as bright as my imac.... nearly. = )

Well. just an update to keep the best thread on this forum alive... I did not sell my Acer... I was still using for a project one day when the inverter board blew out... I had to have it fixed ASAP. The repair place said 4 to 8 weeks....
