Your Acer laptop has a 15-pin VGA port on the rear. It may also have a S-Video and/or a DVI-D port. Any of these can be used to connect to a television monitor. None of these connections, however, supports the sound portion of the signal. You will therefore require two cables, one for the video, and one for the sound. The sound will be a regular 1/8" stereo jack on the PC side. You will need to look at the TV to see what types of connections it accepts. There may be HDMI, DVI-D, S-Video, or RCA connections. Select a cable which matches the connections for each end for both the audio and video.

First, make sure that there aren't any discs in any of the drives. (I don't suppose it comes with a floppy, but if it does, make sure that there is no disc in it.) Acer's usually don't come with restore cds, instead they use a recovery partition, which you can access by holding alt and F-10 immediately after powering on. This process will restore the drive to the factory condition, which will destroy whatever newer data is on it. (Good thing you've been backing up on a regular basis, eh?

Generally you can remove passwords by removing something called the CMOS battery. This battery retains the configuration of the computer when the AC power and main battery aren't present or working.

The battery is generally located in the RAM expansion bay. Locate the battery and remove it. let the laptop sit without ANY power connections for at least 30 minutes. When 30 minutes or more has passed, replace the battery and connect power. Boot the laptop and press F2 to enter the BIOS setup. Generally no configuration is necessary on laptops so just save and exit.

My first concern with this would be the hard drive. In my experience, if an OS has been re-installed and the speed issues remain then this is the most common problem. If you have another 2.5" hard drive then try swapping it and installing a new OS on this. If it works then you have your problem.

Safe Mode and System Restore can fix startup issues in an Acer Aspire One, but if the computer won't even load the boot screen, the problem could be related to the basic input/output system (BIOS). The Acer Aspire One 110 and 150 are two models that can have BIOS-related problems that prevent the computer from booting. You can upgrade the BIOS through a USB flash drive to repair this issue. If you are able boot past the startup screen, but can't sign in to Windows, you can use Windows Advanced Boot Options to bypass startup problems. Go to the Acer website (see Below). http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers Click "Support," then select "Download" from the menu on the left. Select "Netbook" as the product family.

Go to the desktop when the download completes. Double-click the file to open it. Drag-and-drop the folder to the desktop. Double-click the folder to open its contents in Windows Explorer. Double-click the "BIOS_Acer_3310_A_AOA110 & AOA150" folder. Double-click the "Dos_Flash" folder. Insert a blank USB flash drive into a USB slot. Drag-and-drop the "3310.fd" and "Flashit.exe" files to the flash drive. Right-click the "3310.fd" file. Click "Rename." Change the file name to "zg5ia32.fd" and press "Enter." Connect the AC adapter to the power jack. Hold down "Fn" and "Esc" with one hand, then press the power button with the other. Release the "Fn" and "Esc" keys when the power indicator light comes on. Wait at least seven minutes for the system to fix the BIOS and repair the Acer Aspire One startup issues. The computer will restart automatically when the process is complete.
