I hate Acer and I want (them) to die!

April 14, 2008

FacebookTwitter

I hate Acer and I want them to die, that should have been the right title of Nirvana’s hit. My unfaithful, twisted Acer Aspire 3104 WLMi, already famous for it’s overheating issues and semi-USB failures (one port out of three not working, only one port running at full USB 2.0, problems with the internal webcam) decided to die this weekend, just 3 days before ADSL will be installed at my apartment.

All USB ports are dead, the keyboard and touchpad as well, despite all my attempts to resurrect this carcass.
Plugging an external keyboard / mouse also proved to be useless.

I’m now stuck in Acer Hell waiting for a reply from their tech support, and also for warranty info from my reseller (I bought it in August 2007, speak about reliability!)
