i actually got this laptop free due to their shitty customer support
me nan bought me an aspire 1300 in 2002 for school work and all that, had 5 year extended warranty on it, i had several problems with it and it eventually died in summer 07, had 4 months warranty, basically acer said it was the responsibility of an insurance agent and the insurance agent said it was a write off, they apparently never recieved their email, kept fobbing me off with this bullshit after i rang them 20 times same excuse
me grandad said 'let me sort it' told em to stop fobbing me off with this bullshit, theyre trying to keep the claim past the warranty period, sort the fooking laptop etc etc
a boss rang us a day later and was all aoplogies, gave us a reference number to collect an aspire 5630 from comet with the same £600 price tag as the original (which was a lot shitter as it was 5 years old)
hoping it can be repaired and last me a bit longer, been told it needs a bit of soldering on the board
