    There is a plastic face plate, ( I guess that's what you'd call it ), that I'm sure will snap off, that covers the key pad, and I believe it has a ribbon cable to connect it to the motherboard. When I first got it up and running, I thought someone might have spilled something on it. I've sprayed it out several times with contact cleaner, but it doesn't help. When I went to the support page at the ACER site, I saw a few posts there about the same kind of issue with this particular model. I think there is a factory recall on this model, so the keypad may not cost me anything.

    As far as the SSD, does it make any difference for the application I want to use it for? I believe the HDD I put in it last year is SATA.

Ok would be great if it doesn't cost anything  ;D

Normally new computers have sata.

Did you try the latency checker?

No, I haven't tried the latency checker yet. I'll have to get on the Forum with that computer and go try it out. I'll probably get to it this afternoon. I'll let you know what happens after I try it.

Hey MJMP,

     Okay, I ran the Latency Checker, and it told me this machine can run without any drop outs. This is just with the system set at normal full Windows set up, I haven't configured it yet for recording. I think it should be better once I shut off all the programs running in the background.
