Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Gadgets & Tech Acer Laptop Died

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

(Regarding For Sale) thread so i dont bump it any more than it has been........ (fair use )

number 12 Mattlfc

Cheers matey

hardware wise ive never had a problem with my pc (fujitsu siemens scaleo p) - other than the issues i posted a while ago to do with the dvd drive not working right... but turned out it was just the ide cable not beeing fully plugged in!
