Aspire 5515 drivers?

[daphatgrant]

I just got an Acer Aspire 5515-5879 and would like to put a fresh copy of the OS on it without all the bloatware. Anyone know how to get the drivers for this? Acer's site isn't offering any help.

That's weird, Acer US site has no entry for Aspire 5515. The European site DOES have but it's empty, there is only a BIOS available. And on top of that, this is the first thread about Aspire 5515 in this forum..

Anyways I'd try the Aspire 5510 drivers.

I hear you, I too checked the European site and as you did saw that there is nothing but blanks under the download options. Huh... I'll consider the 5510 drivers, thanks .


On a side note I just picked this up today at Walmart for my parents to use.

Athlon 2650e...hmm eMachines has those CPUs, never heard of Aspire with one of these. This is really strange model

Yeah everything about it research wise has been odd. It's a great little computer though, never used an Acer before, but I am pretty impressed, very speedy, just wish I could find some 100% 5515 drivers.

Did some digging, look like I found where they are stored.

C:\ACER\Preload\Autorun\DRV\

Anyone with some Acer experience want to confirm that this is the correct find?

[ATG]

Yes, ACER normally put a copy of all the drivers in it's laptops. I forgot it's a brand new and that's why I didn't suggested to look for em somewhere on it.
Normally they are located on D: though, so I guess this is another odd thing for this laptop

ok, so i pulled a noob and installed a copy of ultimate 64 bit as soon as i got it (and threw in 4gb.) Long story short i already reformatted and there is no drivers anywhere, can anyone make copies and post them or email them?

I'll see what I can do for you man.




Anyone know how long Acer's driver/download section has been borked? This is my first experience with them and although I am very happy with the quality and speed of the laptop the fact that their site is messed up and has been for a couple days now is a bit disappointing.
