I have had an aspire 5741 for six years now. It finally died on me the other day (ac port fried I think). It's amazing to see the gap between those who love and hate Acers. Personally I loved owning an acer. It ran smoothly, trackpad/keyboard never broke down. After a few years it began overheating and I thought it was the end; after cleaning the fans temperatures dropped to normal. The only swap I had to make was an SSD, best decision I ever made. It's been running pretty slow the past year but after changing to an SSD it was lightning quick. Granted I only used this laptop for schoolwork/internet (same thing) and overall it's been very reliable.

I experienced similar problems with a different laptop. Kept overheating during normal use. Opened it up and the fan was nearly clogged with dust. Cleaned it up and now runs cool!

Plugged/unplugged when you're using headphones? If so check that your audio jack is working properly.

Great post! I've been having twitchy issues with my trackpad but it seems to creep up when I'm using a usb mouse

Thanks I've been looking for this! Tried swapping an Atheros into my y500 and got the unregistered error
