I need to replace the power jack for this laptop. When you removed the screen I noticed you pulled out a black and white wire that leads to the screen, can that be reattached afterwards??

Hey guys, I was cleaning my fan, and after turning on my notebook I realized that my left speaker is not working, the cable next to the power button is connected but speaker do not works, do you know how to sort out?
Teplicakk Hello, sorry for late response, maybe you will need to try a different speaker. If you can plug in your right speaker, just to test if it is works - than try it.
I've had this same laptop since Christmas 2009 and it's starting to run slow on me I'm afraid that one day it will just stop working and I can afford a new laptop :(

+Geoffrey Weller Great!!! Thanks!
Gracias, he visto la luz y una esperanza para mi maquina.
I really would like to know the wifi black and white cable order. At the video you just removed. But which one is at the right and left plugs?
Ibsen Caldas Hello, black on the left. White on the right.
hope i can get it back together that easy!
where are connected the black and white monitor cables? thanks in advance.
These aren't monitor cables, it is a wifi antenna cables.
They should be connected to a wifi card.

please mention, what component is RAM, or GPU. I wish to upgrade my Acer Aspire 5542
rajat verma Hello, gpu is not upgradabel. I removed Ram - memory at 1.20
Thank you, one more doubt, -- if I upgrade my ram to 4 GB, would GPU would be a bottleneck?
+rajat verma I think you already have 4GB RAM
You are welcome!!!
ACER 5542 - alive?
yep!
THANKS
