Poor service/product
I purchased my Acer Aspire 6920 in September of 2008. In December of 2008 I was on the computer when everything went black. No lights or sound no power with battery or AC power. I had to have the mainboard replaced. They told me it would take 7-10 days. It was gone for over 3 weeks. They told me they were waiting for a part. I finally got the computer back and I was told it was repaired, that it passed their tests. When I got the computer back it would only power up with AC power. I called Acer again and they sent me a new battery. In May of 2008 I sent the laptop back to Acer and it had to have the hard drive replaced. Last week I booted it up to check my e-mail, I was on-line about 5 minutes when everything went black. It will not power up just like it did in December. I am by no means hard on my laptop. I think it is ridiculous that I have had so many problems with this laptop. I just got off the phone with Acer and I have to send it in again. I have not yet found an Acer service technician that speaks English. I would give the Acer Service Center an F grade. I have a real hard time understanding any of them. So far this computer has had the mainboard, the battery, and the hard drive replaced. Now I think it is the mainboard again. It is acting the same way as in December. My son has an HP laptop that is five years old and has only had to have it repaired one time. I dont see how the Acer laptops have such a high rating for products and service. I will never buy another or recommend an Acer to anyone.

What Tech or Customer Service
This complaint ties in with a complaint against Newegg where I bought this laptop. When it crashed only #3 days after I got it out of the box. I made sure to register with Acer first thing due to the warranty. The problem with the laptop, Was it would not back-up the hard drive/OS with the back up system that came with the unit. Nor would it burn a back-up on DVD. It would go through the process and when done would have an error displayed saying the burn failed. I check the DVD and it was burned and un-usable, But with no data. When it crashed I could not get back in at all. I tried safe-mode and command prompts and all it would do is resort to using the back up, That never worked. I sent several e-mails to Acer tech and customer service and did not get one back, Only the computer generated response.. I still think Acer laptops are great, I bought a new one, But there customer service and tech support seems out to lunch. So the morel of the story, Plan on taken you Acer to a reputable service tech and deal with the $$ on your own terms. Maybe if your lucky you can get re-in if Acer acknowledges you. They refused to help me due to not having the S.N. on the laptop due to sending it back to Newegg. But lets not forget, That number was sent @ time of reg and they where to lazy to go in to there data to find it and help.. I await a response after filing a complaint with the B.B.B.

Poor Product, Poor Customer Service
I have very bad experience with ACER with regards to their customer service
or technical support.
I bought a new desktop and use it for barely about 7 months then a problem
came up.
The problem was that the PC would hang halfway while using. Tried to
restart the pc and the screen went blank while the hardware is running.
Called up ACER and after trouble shooting, they decide to send an engineer
to repair. The engineer came and said that the contacts between the
graphics card and motherboard was oxidised. So he used an eraser and did
some rubbing. Well thankfully this works fine.
Unfortunately, the pc started to hang after 4 months of low usage. Called
up ACER and the customer service's attitude was poor. An appointment with
the engineer was made. The engineer came and said that motherboard had some
problems and decided to replace it. He tested it and it was fine and left.
But after one hour, the pc started to hang once again. Called up ACER and
they said that I should do a system restore back to factory settings and
suggested using the Alt F10. Too bad, the pc hangs halfway while doing it.
The customer service then said that the earliest appointment would be next
week. Therefore I have to wait for another week before an engineer came to
fix the problem.
The engineer came the next week and this time, he said that the motherboard
was faulty once again and replace it once again. He left and this time,
guess what. Oh the pc hangs again after one hour. Called up ACER again,
immediately they called up the engineer and said that the engineer would
call me later. The engineer called and asked about the problems, he said
not to bother about doing anything as the hard disk is faulty. And he would
come in the evening to change it. Evening came and he came to replace the
hard disk. Oh how great it was, I was thinking, this should fixed the
problem. OH MY GOD, the pc can only be used for one hour again. And the
customer service is closed for the day.
Called up ACER the next day, Saturday, and they arrange for the engineer to
come on Monday. So hopefully the engineer is going to fixed the problem once and for all.
Another engineer came and said that he would bring the pc back to the service centre to do the repair.
One week later, he brought back the pc and it was working fine. After 10 days, the pc hangs again.
My overall experience is terrible. Could you imagine how long I have to be
on the phone to solve this problem? How many times of happiness and sadness
that I have to go through? How many times do I have to call up ACER to fix
the problem? How many restarting and waiting of the pc do I have to do?
Just not sure, how long do ACER need to fix the problem? This is a total
waste of time and resources on both me and ACER. I think, they are just delaying the problem
and wait for the warranty to end.
My advise for all: Although ACER has got good value for money products and
relatively cheaper than others on the market. Consider really hard before paying for trouble as the
customer service and technical support is so much poorer as compared to
others.
A very disappointed ACER user...

battery charger
I purchased my Acer computer in December of 2008. In March, my battery stopped charging. I have called Acer technical support 6 times. They replaced the batery twice, the AC adapter, flashed the bios. I paid $40 to have it sent it in for repair, it came back exactly as I sent it. I called them again and was told to send the computer again, this time no charge. They did not, however, give me the correct information to download my FedEx label. When I went online this morning to sent a letter of complaint to their customer service department, there was no such thing. There is abolutely nowhere to register a complaint with the company. Is there a phone number or address I can contact?

Acer Aspire One Laptop
I have had my Acer Aspire one Netbook/Laptop computer for only 5 months and the left shift key came off. I was told that it would not be covered under warranty and they wanted to have my credit card to put a hold on it for $449 to fix the computer. I only paid $350 for the computer to begin with. It just needs a new keyboard which if I fixed it myself, would be around $30. I think it is ridiculous for them not to fix the keyboard under warranty and then to want to have the hold on the credit card for more than I paid for it new. I will not be buying another Acer product! I guess you get what you pay for as far as product and customer service.

Acer Display
I had purchased my Acer LCD screen in January of 2008. All was well until display malfunctioned(all that was black was now grey with vertical lines running through). I sent the monitor in for repair to their repair center in Concord, Ontario only to have it returned to me with the repair invoice indicating that no fault was found, and they had tested it for 48 hours...interesting because they had only had the monitor in their posession for 36 hours before sending it back. Received the monitor back and plugged it in and guess what? Same problem! Called Acer and spoke to someone with a Pakistani accent who was very friendly, but had to transfer me to to a "level 2" technician. The level 2 tech (Daniel-very cocky and interruptive) came on and after I explained to him that after having just received the monitor back, I shouldn't have to pay the $40 dollar shipping charge again. He was very unhelpul, and did nothing but quote from the warranty manual. Make a long story short...gooddbye Acer!

Stay away from them
Acers website said my computer had 9 months left on my Warranty. I shipped it to the Repair center in Temple Texas only to have two calls from NASTY CSR's WADE and NICOLE both POS, stated they will NOT stand behind their product and denied my claim. The website makes no mention of what is or what is not covered. It only told me my model and serial # IS still under warranty. BEST to stay away from anything from this DISHONEST company, ACER!

Casback problems
Purchased an Acer Extensa 5620 laptop with a $99 cashback from Dick Smith in Dunedin, New Zealand, last September. I have just received a cheque for the cashback after five months. During that time I have been subjected to a complex series of apparent delaying tactics, the latest of which was that my cashback had been cancelled because I had now elected to accept an extended warranty. This was, of course, nonsense. I am intelligent cautious person, and I followed Acer's cashback instructions to the letter. I kept copies of everything, including my communications with the company which were only in writing. I have formed the clear impression that Acer intentionally creates obstacles in the claiming of cashbacks, and that, while this may not technically be fraudulent, it is nevertheless a nefarious business practice. In terms of my own experience I recommend that nobody buys any product from Acer and checks out any cashback offer made by any other company before they purchase.
