Living off the land 100%

[Stanley Edwards]

Beat you too it!

He didn't say a cost. He just said it was "expensive"

It has most definitely been upgraded and repaired. €125 all in. New screen. Memory upgrade and replacement processor.

How to upgrade an Acer Aspire One netbook's memory

Ciao!

 

[not-bono-ever]

I see no harm in using discarded syringes to inject stuff that is not meant to be injected. Nope

How to upgrade an Acer Aspire One netbook's memory

Ciao!

This is not the laptop you claimed to have the other day on this thread.

I'm sure that you simply got it wrong earlier and it happens you have it right now you have been called out.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Fucking beaten to it again.

OK. Another concession to 100% living off the land. I have been to the chemist and bought some Ibuprofen.

But...

I am going to search the streets and the beaches for a second hand syringe, crush the Ibuprofen, dissolve it in sea water, and then inject it directly into the pain of my foot. I think that makes me about 80% honest.

Some times it is best to ask first. I would have preferred opium, but cash does not allow presently.

To remind myself: I am going to make lists of all I like about Portugal, and the very few (but, critical) things I don't like.

Yeh. Second hand syringe. Right.

Here is an Acer processor being upgraded without solder.



I do not know about the memory (whether it is soldered in or what) but even if it is, can easily be desoldered.

ETA too late

Ciao!

That main board has an upper limit of 1.5GB of RAM. You claim to have upgraded to 4GB of RAM.

Don't dissuade him

Second hand syringe!....please don't, Stanley
Just rest your foot for a few days.

The Acer Aspire One netbook A110/A150 was released in 2008, whereas the Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 11 was released 2015, that puts them apart in computer terms by a country-mile*.

* or about 50/60km.

I would not worry, it is more fantasy. The mask has slipped, his cover is blown. Nothing he can say can claw back any semblance of trust or respectability. A footloose freeloading fantasist with a feeble grasp of fact. More Jolyon Wagg than TinTin.

That's a Acer Aspire 5720 NOT a Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 11!

It seemed the point needed reiterating

I was using it to demonstrate that replacing a processor was generally a solder free operation
Another poster said that they were not replaceable items

I can assure you he has no intention of doing such a thing.

You never can tell with Stanley.
I hope he's not that stupid, but.....

That was said for effect, I am sure.

The Acer Aspire range is massive, and from reading there's so many different 'insides' between the models, so what can be replaced in one model, can't be in others.

TBH I have no idea if an 'expert' can find a way of replacing the RAM & HDD in Stan's model, despite the tech sites saying it can't be done, but IF they have & they have upgraded the RAM to 4mb, why replace the processor in a machine under a year old, which can handle 8mb of RAM?

It doesn't make sense to me, there's something fishy about this upgrade.

Anyone want to photoshop a dodgy laptop on to this?

That's not a fucking Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 11





It's a Etch a Sketch!

 

[Siouxsie]

I used to love my etch a sketch.....couldn't do a thing on it....but it was loved.

 

[Siouxsie]

I bet Stanley could do this...obviously.

You should have got it upgraded.

 

[Siouxsie]

You should have got it upgraded.

I think mine was missing some 'sand' or whatever was inside it...story of my life

 

[Artaxerxes]

You should have got it upgraded.
