I am having difficulty finding a cable lock for my acerR14 laptop. The slot is much too small for the usual cable locks. Calling acer support was to no avail. It is difficult to imagine that an engineer who designed the laptop would screw up on the size of the slot. Help anybody??

I'm having the same issue. I really like the laptop so far but this security cable issue has been a real headache. I've been to four places so far and now here I am trying to get one online as I have an event next week and I'd like to keep my new machines secure.

If Acer is going to have a non-standard slot they should carry an appropriate cable in their Accessories area.

And there is room on the device for a standard slot so why didn't they go with that. Does having this non-standard slot look that much cooler? Is it any more secure? Is it the tipping point that generates a lot more sales?

It doesn't say anywhere on the drawing that I see so I'm guessing those units are millimeters?

And you say these are the specs on the Kensington Security Slot. So are those the specs for what most people have or for the slot on the R14 and R15 (and maybe others) laptops?

Thanks for responding. I understand it's not a completely secure way to go but hopefully it is a deterrent to most.

I'm not sure if the measurements will help unless I can find some cables that post the dimensions of their anchor point as well.

This is really disappointing. I spend a good deal more than planned to get a higher quality machine and now I have to fret about it and do extra things to protect it at events since I can't use the usual almost industry standard solution.

They are putting Kensington "mini" on some newer thin laptops, but I don't think you have that. Not 100 percent sure though since we don't know your exact laptop model. Not sure if Acer is using the "mini" yet on any of their models.

I have an Acer R15-571T-59DC, sorry I forgot to mention that in my first post.

And that first link to the Kensington site now goes to their main US page so I'm guessing they took the page down or the link got shortened or corrupted somehow.

Looking through the second article now....

If you click on the link below, and then click "Products" at the top of the screen, you can look at all of the Kensington products. Please contact Kensington for more information about their products.

Well, I think the docs may be wrong or incomplete, maybe missing the word 'mini'. The cable and lock I've used for years on my previous laptop won't fit in this one and if you can see the picture I'm attaching clearly enough you'll see how small the slot is in comparison to the HDMI or other slots near it and I think that will reveal it to be a 'mini', though I could be wrong.

The Walmart idea is a good one. Unfortunately for the Kensington minisaver they don't seem to have any in stock in my area and if I order online I could pick it up Oct. 6.

I did a search for Kensington minisavers in my area last night and found the same thing with Staples, the only place in the area my search showed as carrying them. So I ordered one there and should receive it, direct I think, Friday or shortly thereafter.

I'll just have to be really careful with it and who I trust it with and/or keep it with me at all times while I'm at this event.

Thanks for leading me to a device that works with either slot, though, and that seems to have other advantages like not blocking access to ports right beside it as some older designs would do.

Hi appreciate your post. Could you please let me know if the Kensington mini really works. Does it really make your computer more secure? I've been looking for a solution to this problem for a long time. Many folks do not realize the difference in the slot size as can be seen from previous comments. Again thanks.

I was sure I responded to the last question and was logging back in to see if there was any news.

My update is that NO, the miniSaver cable I got online also does not fit in the slot. I had three people look at it - 2 at computer stores - in case I was missing some trick but the end does not fit into the available slot.

and I'm hoping you all have found a cable that does work with this laptop.

Many thanks, SScott, for the up date. You have saved me the aggrivation of buying and retruning a cable, and I appreciate your post. That means that there is still no cable that works for the small slots. One has to wonder what the engineers were thinking when they changed the slot size.

Acer Aspire One D255 Series Manual Online: Remove Hdd/Bios Password Utilities. This section provides you with details about removing HDD/BIOS password methods: Removing HDD Password: If you key in the wrong HDD password three times, an error is...

Is there important data on that hard drive? I see that it originally run a 32 bit Windows XP or Windows 7 Operating System which are both obsolete and no longer supported. If there is no valuable data on it that is not backed up then I suggest that you just wipe it and reinstall an Operating System that can run on it or more preferably get a new laptop.

I did download all of the BIOS zips previously and could not find any actual UnlockHD.exe utility and the .fd images appear to only be BIOS binary images while the FLASH* programs are for flashing these onto the system:

Glad you have found a way getting access and recovering the data. Now for the really difficult work of getting the elderly friend to make backups of important data and perhaps getting a new laptop or putting an OS that is supported and resistant to malware (Linux).

Acer produces a full line of monitors that provide value to businesses by offering a reasonable balance of performance and price. If you're like many entrepreneurs, you probably step away from your desk often to help customers or perform other tasks. If you have to leave your Acer monitor, you may not want others to see open documents and files. To prevent others from seeing what you're working on, lock the screen manually or set it to lock automatically after a few minutes.
