realogic Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Acer *720 series suffers ACPI problem: the FAN is not working. So, if you want to install it you have to place it outdoor, or just ventilate it. But the problem persists also after reboot, so, no luck with that laptop for now..

Dean Jen Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Has any solution been derived for this particular problem?

hey81 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I had but not for long.

So its an idea to ugreat your system. On 7720 its impasible to run camera and card reader. There is no chance to run camera but there shuld be a drivers for card reader in futuer.

Dean Jen Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I guess it is probably due to different sub-model of 7720, as mine can't even reach the big X with status indicator during the installation... Any suggestion? Fortunately I've finally used Kalyway 10.5.2 on my Asus P5Q SE motherboard and it has been nice(except the usual can't-shut-down problem)...

Jorge C. Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 hi i am stuck at the installation part i am using iATKOS 1.0i and when i look at the install log it stays at validating package payload and then the whole laptop just powers off any help anybody successfull with installing iATKOS on an Acer Aspire 7720 Hello, to solve your problem you need to update your bios, you can find it on acer's european page. It powers down because it overheats the fans are not kicking in on time but the new bios solves that problem. Also once you manage to install iatkos and boot it for the first time your screen will go blank, there's a tutorial around that helps with that, it involves deleting the intel video kexts in text mode and then loading patched ones. I managed to get a few things working: webcam, video with full acceleration, audio and bluetooth. To get wifi working I got a broadcom mini pci-e card and replaced the intel one. Things that aren't working: ethernet, card reader, modem, energy management PM me if you want to exchange ideas. good luck!

Dean Jen Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi: I'm flashing the new bios now and will give it a try...version 1.17 to 1.45 I think. Will update and see if anything improves.

Dean Jen Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Finally got it worked...somehow... No audio, which is fine with me...but does anybody have a solution? No NIC...now this is definitely strange. Will check out which chipset it is using. Build-in WiFi ain't working. No surprise for Intel card. So I get an Encore USB dongle based on Realtek chipset, and work like a charm. Any idea how i can get the audio out? At least to the headset...?

donh Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I have an Acer 7720-6155. I installed ideneb 1.4. I got the video to work by following this advise. QE + CI +native resolution. Slice post Don't remember were I got the 3100FB but the other kexts are from the 10.5.6 combo update. Sleep is not working yet. Sound works (not sure about subwofer) headphones work, ethernet works but intel wireless sucks.
