Disastrous Experience with Acer Laptop.

[Jayq]

On 13 March, I bought a Acer Travelmate 6292, less than week on the 17 March, Monday, the laptop can't boot up press power button not working. The next day went to the service center surprising the staff at the service center is able to boot up my computer and everything is working fine just that the time is not synced. The service person did some troubleshooting like removing and put back the ram maybe it's not sit properly and he say it will be nice if i left my laptop overnight at the service center for a more throughout check so i did left my laptop there for a more precise check on it.

 

Yesterday, I received by laptop with a service report claimed that everything is working fine no problem. 10 minutes ago, when i try to switch on again not responding tried everything with battery and without battery still fail to switch on. This laptop really pissed me off I am going down to the service center on Saturday for a refund totally have no confidence in Acer products anymore.

Do a hard reset, throw it on the floor and give it a body slam. Then try pressing the button again, should be ok now.

buy 4D on the serial number

 

I using Benq S32, you should take a look at this model. I compared 6292 with S32 and I buy S32.

God bless, it had been perfect so far and is cheap, less than 1.4k with 7300 spec

I wish i could do it, waste my time, energy going down to Acer service center only give 1 free parking ticket and the down time without the laptop working. Never had such worst experience.

[Jayq]

Will consider if i can get a refund.

Isn't Benq also part of Acer???

sry to hear abt yr experience bro...

 

i sell laptops part time during my hols at school roadshows... and i talked to owners and different brands owners before...

 

many of the owners of Acer say theirs after 1 year CMI...

here spoil there spoil...

even one of the sales person frm acer sae his oso spoil...

onli gd thing is cheap...

 

seriously the only brands that i trust are thinkpads and fujitshu... (cost aside )

Sorry to hear about your negative experience.

 

I'm pretty happy with my Acer notebook. It has lasted me for the past 5 years already. It's a P3 1.13ghz. Everything still working fine. I'm happy with it.

[Bunny21]

Me too. still working after 3 years...

[Beei]

My acer desktop start falling apart after less than 1 year.. either something wrong with me or something wrong with acer's workmanship..

[Archon]

My acer desktop serve me 7 years. Just got a new one early this year. Happy with it.

[Beei]

so i guess that is something wrong with me..

[Nolicense]

i think thinkpads and fujitsu not that great either.

 

acer has bad models that's for sure. if you pick some models that are well designed, it will be very reliable.. unfortunately to know that, you must speak to the sales person on models that are out 6 months at least. they will know which ones are problematic.

 

in fact the acer laptop i'm using now is one where the sales person told me the lcd will have problem after 1 year. and indeed it is true. but i did "operation" on it and it is working fine now. i hope it stays that way. lol

 

every brand and model has lemons. so i think need to back off from the latest models if want reliablity.

if there is something wrong with you that why complain about others and their posting

 

get a new computer and you will begin to see life differently

 

have a good easter

[Meecar]

in the past ACER had quality issues

 

Futjitsu is apparently all made in JAPAN and that is why they are expensive

 

I think HP is OK i have 3 HP notebooks at home of course bought at different times

[Jayq]

Either u had no problem with acer computers or u having lots of problem with it.
