Description

The listing, Acer Aspire 5315 Please read! has ended.

This is a Acer Aspire 5315 laptop! The battery is bad but as long as it is plugged in it works, it does come with the charger! It also says it needs a boot disk when it turns on! I will ship on The 1st because im not exactly sure how much it will cost to ship!

Questions & Comments

I just noticed this. I've got virtually the same laptop. It looks like the hard drive isn't being recognized anymore since it is trying to boot off of the onboard ethernet port (that's what the error message stems from). My Acer is a 5315-2698 and came with Windows Vista, Celeron M 560 2.13 Ghz CPU, 1 Gb DDR2 RAM, 120 Gb SATA hard drive, and -G Wireless. There were no recovery disks as you had to burn them yourself. I had to do that for mine so I could reinstall Vista when I upgraded the hard drive. I probably can answer most questions about this type since I've been upgrading mine over the last several months. If the seller knows the other 4 digits of the model number it will tell you what else was original on this machine. I've had lot's of luck with mine, for a 4 yr old machine it is pretty peppy with 3 Gb RAM now. Hope this helps some of you folks.

Hi thanks for more info for everyone that i wasnt sure about! Im not sure where to look for the other 4 digits of the model number

OK - You had WIN7 installed. How long after its installation did the Acer display the boot message?

The other 4 digits should be on one of the labels on the underside of the laptop.

My guess is that WIN7 is OK on it but somehow the hard drive became corrupted. If you operated it on the Net, could you have a virus?

Aug 19th, 2012 at 12:06:14 PM PDT by

Honestly I have no idea im not really computer smart i was going to get it fixed but i had got a new laptop as a gift. Im sure someone who knows their computers could fix it right away!

You probably have your reasons for taking it to a computer store but it's best not to fix sumpthin' that ain't broke. Upgrades are merely moneymakers for the software companies. End results are always the same, even if you have WIN95. WIN7 came with my current desktop but I prefer XP. It's possible that you have a glitch in WIN7 or it may not be compatible with your laptop. Do you have a recovery disc for your Acer?

Aug 19th, 2012 at 10:08:25 AM PDT by

No sorry i do not have a recovery disc.

The original OS doesn't matter. You've answered my question. The OS was upgraded to WIN7. The important question is, did the computer start fowling up after WIN7 was installed? (I'm troubleshooting.)

Aug 19th, 2012 at 9:55:50 AM PDT by

Yeah everything worked fine, i had went to michigan a few months ago and when i came back it was like that !

Aug 19th, 2012 at 11:30:56 AM PDT by

An OS is the Operating System: WIN98, Vista, XP, etc. The OS runs the other programs. Yours is WIN7. Was it always WIN7 or did someone put WIN7 in later?

Aug 19th, 2012 at 9:21:44 AM PDT by

No when i had first got it i Had it taken up to a computer store and they installed it there!

Aug 19th, 2012 at 9:41:57 AM PDT by

Was WIN7 its original OS or was it upgraded from something else?

Aug 19th, 2012 at 9:17:23 AM PDT by

No im not sure what the original OS was sorry!

Aug 19th, 2012 at 9:43:11 AM PDT by

Forgive the deluge of questions, but do you hear a clicking sound when the screen tells you it needs a boot disc?

Aug 19th, 2012 at 8:47:48 AM PDT by

No there is no clicking sound! its okay ask away!

Aug 19th, 2012 at 9:04:31 AM PDT by

Does the CD tray open OK?

Aug 19th, 2012 at 8:43:15 AM PDT by

Yeah it opens perfect no problems with it at all!

Aug 19th, 2012 at 9:04:32 AM PDT by

I'm sorry. You already gave the model number. I may have confused you.

Did the laptop have XP, Vista, WIN98 or what?

Aug 19th, 2012 at 8:17:56 AM PDT by

Windows 7 has been installed on it!

Aug 19th, 2012 at 8:34:18 AM PDT by

Thanks for your prompt reply. Does your Acer have both the floppy disc and CDROM drives? And, what is its former OS?

Aug 19th, 2012 at 8:08:53 AM PDT by

Im not sure what OS is? And it does have CD/DVDROM, im not seeing the floppy disk!

Aug 19th, 2012 at 8:33:51 AM PDT by

Does the screen momentarily go to 'boot disc' or does it freeze there? In other words, after you see the 'boot disc' screen, does the laptop boot to the normal desktop view thereafter?

Shipping should cost around $15, average.

Thanks.

Aug 19th, 2012 at 8:01:30 AM PDT by

The screen does freeze when it says insert boot disc! And thanks for the shipping info!
