    This is not very likely....does anyone have a manual/user guide for an Acer AL714L 17" LCD/TFT computer monitor ?

    Go to this page and search by Serial Number or SNID.

    Thank you, mdonah.
    I have been to that page and entered my 22 digit s/n and it returned with "no results". I was unable to locate any [11 digit] SNID. I couldn't find any documentation for my product. I had already contacted Acer support who gave me the the response that "[as your monitor is discontinued] we don't carry any documentatation for it". Searching through all the options under model=AL1714 yielded only drivers (which I downloaded).

    Hence my original question: does anyone have a manual/user guide for an Acer AL714L 17" LCD/TFT computer monitor ?

    Even if someone did/does, I don't know that uploading such a file to Major Geeks Support Forums as an attachment or otherwise is allowed. Perhaps someone who has upload capabilities to a place like MediaFire can do so and post a link in their reply for you.

    Best of luck. :)

    If I ever manage to download it, I will attach it here. I just sent a complaint email.
    I've matched the capcha more than a dozen times and never get the download, just another capcha to match!

    Thanks. I feared that kind of upload might not be allowed by some kind of rule, for anti-malware reasons, copyright reasons, or something else. Thanks for other suggestion though. (or, maybe I thought, private communication)

    Thanks for the link - it was to the installation manual only though. I was able to type in the code and believe that I downloaded it to some temporary file, so I have to find it now.

    That's only the installation manual though, not really what I what I wanted, but in the right direction. I have already tried it out, and it seemed to work ok just connecting everything up. I wanted to know something about accessing the features (if any), [and, possibly for future reference, a troubleshooting guide !] which I thought might be found in in a user's guide.

    IE search couldn't find it, so I had to download it again and this time select open instead of save, and save it from Adobe Reader. It seems to be more than an installation document, containing an operations section and specifications, quite useful really - thanks plodr

    I'm glad you managed to download it. I was never able to and I got no response to the email I sent to Retrovo.

    As I mentioned earlier, the only thing on the Acer site for that model is a driver. If Acer doesn't provide any documentation for download, I think what you go is the best you can hope for unless you find someone with the same model who has the documents on paper and is willing to scan the pages in and email them to you.
