CRACK on my Acer notebook

Ok, this is another topic about how good Acer is at making laptops
I am definitely not buying Acer never ever again!!!!


Acer is piece of s***, all of you who is reading this forum to get an idea how good Acer is
and should you buy it, don't make that mistake!!!

I bought my Acer Aspire 5112Wlmi about 1 year and 8 months ago and it never worked OK!
At the beginning in the first couple of months it was bad BIOS! BSOD's all day long, sound card and modem would just stop working...

I sent it back to Acer thinking it's faulty RAM, but they just flashed BIOS and said it's OK now!
But it kept working terrible, unstable, a couple of BSOD's here and there...

I upgraded my RAM half a year ago thinking it will be over with BSOD's finally! But they didn't stop...

About two months ago I downloaded newest drivers for my laptop and it finally started working good!
Until yesterday when I noticed a CRACK on the left side under the keybord

So I am buying a new laptop as soon as I get some money and I am breaking this Acer peace of sh** into 1.000 little peaces!!!!

 

1 piece wow

 

I can see this thread closing in 3... 2.... 1...

 

i dont think that a thread should be closed because of a user expressing his views about a company............ thats just freedom of speech.........why else should we start a forum

 

What are you talking about??

Why should this thread be closed?

Is somebody here an owner of Acer so he can't stand somebody talking negative about Acer?

I've just described my experience with an Acer notebook and it should be heard/read!
So that somebody can be saved from making a BIG mistake with buying an ACER!!

 

Keep it open so not only forum users can see but Acer just may see it.
but acer are cheap for a reason and need to be treated with care.

and Max is only one user out of millons, so if one laptop has trouble out of a 1000 laptops thats a good score.

i think the thread should stay

 

I agree the 5000 serios where not acer best product they did have high failure rate but they alot of nicer acer laptop new serios that are not bad

Form Specs Prices profmance

I had 5670 for 2 + years no issues it also depend how you take care stuff

 

i've had quite a bit of trouble with this devil i'm using right now, i still like the laptop though, however, for some reason everytime i close my lid i get keyboard marks on my screen and also scratches and marks/cuts keep randomly appearing :l. last time i sent my laptop away it came back with a massive cut along it.
HOW COULD A COMPANY SEND A LAPTOP BACK IN THAT CONDITION?!
anyways it's still ok.

 

does laptop monitor lcd have all screw covers on the prevent the display close too much how do mean ? can show picture of marks? it makeing

is you keep board maybe not siting right in you laptop it eas pull keyboard put back in is the trim above you monitor pushed in all way some time i seen that pop up

 

the rubber things to stop the screen getting too close don't even touch the bottom half of the laptop :l, i think it started when i sent it off and got it back from acer. the marks look like squares basically the same as finger makers but squares instead. (not full squares just the outline)

 

I wound suggest you remove keyboard if yous say it key hit top of screen maybe it got bent it super easy do and i mean depend what acer did you laptop maybe they bent keyboard little they are pretty flexable it take very little to bend them

if you have nots from what acer change we can tell you if might had remove keyboard my guess it not siting quite right

 

they replaced the shell because they totally screwed it up.. also how do i remove the keyboard and does it void my warrenty?
edit: nvm i wondered why that panel was loose.

 

Well if you don,nt break it no am go to say you shound try or not up to you i removed alot them and most case is just matter remove the screw at back monitor 3 or them or so then open display lifting up the plastic cover it snaps off carefull they few screen at top keyboard hold it and ribion cable just lift up with out unplug ribbon cable just tiny bit if do decide to remove keyboard rember to slide up the clip on ribion cable so don,nt break it it not hard to do but you got be carefull if you F**K up you laptop they most like won,nt like it
plus i wound,nt want to hear about it lol do so at own risk

I end up work on alot laptop at work keyboard replacment other issues so am pretty used to pull them apart it not hard just take time be carefull and don,nt ***** me if you break it



It realy depend on how technial conside youself


you can problay push it down more maybe little bit out of allignment does the chasis seem bent?

 

sorry i missed that what panel is lose? the trim over keyboard?

 

hmm i can see why my screen rocks about so much now lol it's really lose and one screw won't come undone :S it just... turns..

edit also my screen looks like it's bending when it's flipped down

 

it shound like they striped something If this laptop warrenty telll them to fix it

They had Replace the 5630 of my sister cause she got bad one it took some *****ing mind ya

 

yea this is a 5630 lol so yea the screen looks like it bends, and theres a screw that turns continuously so now i can't unscrew the hinge

 

your model has 3 screw on back above port ? if the scews are striped or damge that problay why it do that

i wound just get acer fix it if under warrenty ?

 

i've sent it away twice in 6 months (3 months from when i got it) i don't want to
send it back over something this small lol.

 

I can understand you not want to send it back am not look the model right now but sister has one thouse it just try rember if that where scews are pretty sure are but not 100 precent sure some have diffent way to get turm off the has the power botton light etc under it

above keyboard winch hinge scews are you take about be messed up it ?

winch scew mean spin are you talk two hold the screen on inside laptop once get trim off ?

one on bottom of metal hinges

 

the bottom one on the metal hinges also it's really hard to understand you ^^
anyway i tightened the screws but the screen is as loose as it was before so i guess it's to do with that screw as it's one of the big ones..

 

I wound agree I wound make acer fix it

they will over night ship it you demand ask for at least canada i know take time but at least you get you issues address be that scew hinge it might get worse

 

Lol, i live in england just so you know it's 3 am wow i'm tired

 

Acer was never good.

It's kind of obvious on how and why acer sucks.
You dont need to rant on and on about it.


I've sent my acer in TEN TIMES okay.
So dont complain how acer sucks.

Acer's had my laptop more than I've used it.

And because of that, my warranty is now over.
I didnt even use it for a year despite the fact that it's AT acer right now at the time of this post.

 

mines got another 2 and a half years warrenty O_O

 

losers...
.

 

Leave your opinions to yourself.

 

well, just to shed a little hope to Acer owners out there, my family bought 3 of the black friday W@l-M@rt specials, Aspire 5135-2153. After 5 months we have had only 1 problem, a harddrive developed bad sectors (probably due to a I/O {idiot operator} who likes to pound on the laptop when it can't read his mind). Acer promptly sent out a replacement HDD which i recieved 2 days after calling about the issue. Yeah, they are cheap laptops, but we bought them for just that reason. Price..
overall i'm extreemly happy with what i got for my money. I'm sorry some people have had such horrible experiences and i hope they are able to get some satisfactiory resolution to thier problems. So far Acer'stech support has been good to me, but then agian i knew what my issue was and had proof of my problem to email to them before i ever called. My heart goes out to anyone who has to send their laptop off for in-shop repair.

just my three cents, or whatever it's worth,
bigozone

 

And what would you say if I tell you that my laptop has NEVER been out of my house, except for the time I sent it to Acer for repair/BIOS flash?
And a couple of times I've sent it for Windows reinstall!

It's been on my table for 2 years, and on my bed, etc...

How can it be treated better than that? Maybe by not using it at all!

 

To all of you who are happy with you Acer: just wait for it, you will understand what I'm talking about soon don't you worry
