I called this number they took all the details and said they would investigate on it and they they did not get back to me I had to call them again and then they said they are re opening the above ticket again and the monitor will be replaced in another 1 week its been more than two weeks now and they still dont have an update on the New Monitor and whenever i call them they say we have not received your monitor yet. This is Very in convinient and if anyone can tell me how to proceed with lodging a complaint in Consumer Court I would appreciate it.

i purchased my acer aspire 5920 laptop online from argos ltd on 08/04/2009 and on 30/09/2009 it stopped working .it has disk read error in it. i phoned acer technical support on the no.[protected] and they asked me to fax the receipt of laptop which i purchased online. i faxed them the copy of label which i got from the bag of my laptop when i got it delivered to my house as i had only that proof of purchase because when you buy something online you don't get receipt for that. they said that we can't do anything without receipt.now i went to argos and asked for receipt and they said they dont have receipt as it was purchased online. what should i do now.

Dear Sirs,



I do not know what I should describe Acer poducts....but I have a compelling reason to denounce their worthiness.

I purchased an Acer Aspire 5536 from the Croma Mall at Bangalore on 29 Aug 2009, customer no : 9016904, Laptop Sl No : LXPAW0099320CB182000 and believe me, I have had a torrid time with the system getting disconnected immediately after connected to the LAN.

You may want to know that I have been making numerous calls to the call centre, as well as the local service centre and a complaint no was assigned to me with Reference ID :[protected].

Let me take you through the sequence of events, so as to correctly portray the actual deficiencies :

1. I reported the matter of lan getting disconnected after I came back to Bangalore sometime aroud 16 Sept 2009. Till then I was not using the new laptop, as i already have a company laptop with me, which I work from home without any trouble or lan problems.

2. The call centre each time was addressed by different people, each giving different solutions :
- First they said that the Atheros driver was to be uninstalled and I had to download the LAN drive from the acer service site.
- Second, they said that you will need to uninstall the Ethernet driver too.
- Third person said that you would need to follow certain steps to get to the problem....the telephone got disconnected and after multiple attempts, there was another person that said you would need to go to the service centre.
- The closest service centre being the Carlton centre on the Old Airport Road, I did go there.
- They checked and said that the McAfee was to be deleted and this could be the reason for 2 antivirus software conflicting with each other on the system...
- I came back and again had the same trouble.
- Again i called the call centre and they said that they cannot do anything.
- I went to the Croma shop, disgusted with the product. There the gentleman said that he would reload the O/S once more and that I will lose any saved information. I agreed and he did that and handed over the laptop to me.
- It again had the same problem and I again called the Chroma guy.....there was a promise to call back, that never happened, despite me calling some 4 times to Croma.
- The next day I called again and they said that I needed to go the service centre. I called the call centre and they repeated the same thing.
- Again I went to the service centre, who asked me to load a mozilla (non explorer), which they said was better...
- This was done and I again tried to check the same at home. No improvement.....again the LAN used to get disconnected.
- Again I called the service centre and asked them if they could resolve the problem.
- They asked me to lodge the laptop with them for a day or two to check out and then call me back.
- After 2 days, they called me up on 25 Sept 2009 and asked me to take the laptop, as it was perfecctly fine.
- I asked them what they had done. They said that they had re-installed the BIOS.
- I came back to find the problem unresolved.
- Since it was late in the evening, I called them the next day to inform them.
- I requested them to call on a service guy to check out what could be the issue. I agreed to port the service rep and did so today (26 Sept 2009). He came in and said that it could be because of the proxy settings, that should not be clicked. I am not a software or a hardware specialist and hence I said that I have not configured anything myself. All I needed was my internet to work and nothing else !!!!!!!!!!!
- The computer wa sworking then for about 30 mins, when I presumed that the bug was repaired. I dropped the service rep at the place.
- Again when I came back in the evening and logged on. It was working for 30 mins without interruption, so I confirmed to the service centre informing them as a matter of curtesy that the laptop was working fine.
- As luck would have it, the bug appeared immediately and the LAN again hung. The problem persisted and I called the service team there. They said that there was a holiday on Sunday, as well as Monday and that the service engineers had left the evening, so anything could be actioned on the coming tuesday (29 Sept 2009).

I have purchased this laptop on 29 Aug 2009 and have not had a single day (forget even 1 hour) of internet disconnection....

I demand, given this extreme mental turmoil, as welll as prolonged agony that this be esclated to whoever is seniormost in Acer India and appraise him of the defective product line.

I am compelled by circumstances to discard this laptop, not for the lack of any service assiatance, but for the fact that this product line is defective and should be discontinued immediately in the larger interest of the customers.

And, just in case you thought how did I type this message to you, I am doing so from another laptop, where the connectivity has / will not fail, as I type, also from home.

It is sad how companies are unwilling to accept their defective product lines are are making customer run and be at the mercy of their service engineers, who can do as much as they can in their limited technical knowhow/experience.

Best Regards,


Ravi

I buy this model 5730 Acer TravelMate. From the 1st day i am getting problem with my LCD Screen. That is whenever i move my laptop's Lid the whole screen is getting white color. I can't see anything then. After 10 to 12 time restart my Lappy(Laptop) this problem is solves temporarily but After some time the Lid is moved and the screen is white.

Now the complaint is that, i call acer customer care for servicing of my lappy. They give me a address of a service center. I go and give them my lappy. They said that "We want one week to solve the problem" but today is 21th day and they are not able to solve my problem. I call them. They says that we are not getting LCD screen from upper stage so we are not able to solve your problem. They advice me to call again to the Acer Customercare Delhi Branch. I call them .
Now They want more time. They says that the Screen reached at Khidirpur Dock but they need more 1 week to upload the Screens.

So please give them a strong reply as soon as possible.

This feedback i,m writing on this forum, as no one at ACER Service centre -RMS Technologies Pvt. Ltd.,HYDERABAD (Im not sure about the correct name hence I,m providing the Contact no[protected] has helped me during last 15 days with my laptop problem, nor extended any help in contacting correct person to express my frustration with ACER. I logged a call on 31st Aug9 about CD Drive/Keyboard problem in my laptop Model(Travelmate 3212NWXMi). However no one attended to my call till 5th Sept9. Finally one engg attended to my laptop on 5th and changed the CD Drive. it was assured to me that within 3 days the keyboard ll be replaced. However its been more than 15 days since i have given my complaint but no action has been taken on my complaint. I,m not able to use my laptop at all as I can't even enter my password. There is no response from the ACER Service centre., and the staff is very rude, no one seems to take customer seriously. I make several calls to Mr PRASAD, incharge, but he is never bothered to even receive my calls. whenever someone attend to my call they say only one thing, part is coming from bangalore. Im a marketing executive, and without laptop, i,m feeling totally helpless, missing important activities, not able to do my job on time.

What pains me is the attitude of the in charge(Prasad)/coordinator(Subodh) etc, as they just not at all bothered about helping the customer. I have not got any confirmed info as of now from these people about my problem getting solved. With this feedback column i want acer to take strict action against such service centers, which makes the customer feel so frustrated, and forced to think, why on earth a brought a ACER LAPTOP.

Pathetic customer service
I purchased a acer laptop a month ago... White line started appearing on lcd screen during the loading of operating system. When i contacted technical support found that its an hardware issue and a component has to replaced for rectification. As suggested gave my laptop for service on may 2nd to digital solutions acer's service center which is located in lajpat nagar. I was informed that it would not take more than 3-4 days for repair.
When i called up on 4th, found that its still not rectified and would take 2 more days to recieve the component..
When i start following up on the day committed a female () answered the call and informed that i'll have to wait until lthe component arrives and the laptop gets repaired and they are not resp0nsible for that in a sarcastic way.

I called up call center several times to complaint on the same and none of the agents () have not updated the conversation and i had to under go the problem explain procedure to every agent () that i interacted with about the issue.

Till now there's absolutely no clue when acer () would give me my laptop from service.

Service center: digital sollutions, lajpath nagar.

If anyone from acer wants to address this issue contact me on number mentioned below

the laptop model is acer aspire 5738, this is highly emberrecing for me. kindly help me in this issue.and contact me at [protected]

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is to bring to your notice about the pathetic quality of service offered by one of your authorized service centers COMPUTER INFO. TECH PVT. LTD. Pune. 4 months back I visited this outlet as my laptop Acer Aspire 5100 was having over-heating problem. The service center personnel told me that they will have to get a new Temperature IC to fix this issue and they will have to reload the OS. Total cost would be 3000 INR. I agreed to this as I needed my laptop urgently. I was promised that laptop will be given to me in 4 days time. It took 12 days. When I got the laptop, CD-ROM, Function Keys and 2 USB ports were not working. I am pretty sure that this was not the condition in which I had given this laptop to your people. I called up these guys to enquire what they have done to my machine and response was very rude.
I was out-of-station these 4 months and I visited them today again to get those earlier issues fixed. No one seem to recall anything and there was no info in their database (Not that I expected it to be there). I have asked them to reload the OS in one of the drives. There is some lady there who keeps on insisting that I buy a new CD-ROM and a new Anti-virus and many such things. When I told her that I am not in a position to buy them now, her reply was shocking, 'Then you will get your laptop with viruses'. I am sure there is no virus in my laptop. They plan to plant one in my machine if I don't by an Anti-virus from their shop. This is ridiculous. I hope something can be done about such people. Its not possible for every individual to go to a Consumer court.

I will advise everyone to think twice before they plan to buy an Acer laptop as service quality is exceptionally bad.

Thanks.
Saurabh

Dear Sir,

I had purchased a acer laptop Model Number PM5720 through the Electronics Corporation of India (ELCOT) scheme for students on 24th Aug 2008. After using the system, I found that the battery power is draining very fast and does not stay for more than half an hour. On 12/07/2009 I approched the customer support service centre "Ever Excellant Services", Kodambakkam, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, who after checking the system have said that the battery is not working and hence they will replace the same as the laptop is covered under warranty within one week. But since then, they have only one response for me, "the battery has to come from Bangalore, so please wait".

Here I wish to say the the distance from chennai to bangalore would be around 400 KMs and means of transport between the two cities is excellent. Only the way things are handled by Acer's support people are not as Excellant as they claim to be.

I have been waiting for the battery for more than one month. After investing so much money on the lap top for my education, I am unable to carry it to school and I am heavly affected because of the behaviour of Acer's support people.

I also feel that may be Acer is ignoring my complaint because I had bought the same through Student's scheme of Tamil Nadu Government. Or I don't know what the problem is with Acer.

Please ask the Excellent Services to Worst Services, Chennai.

I bought my daughter for college a top of the line Acer Aspire laptop. The first year, everything was good. Starting year two, things started to malfunction. First the camera (trip one), then the heat sink/fan (trip two). Since my extended warranty was about to run out, I wanted to have the left side USB ports replaced (not working) and DVD drive replaced. Trip three yielded a non working USB ports upon return. Another round trip to install current drivers for the USB ports at ACER.They must thing I am stupid. Another boot up, STILL yielded no USB. I suggested back on trip three that the motherboard needed replacement. Back to Texas again. New motherboard this time and new battery. Thought I was done. Five days later-dead-nothing-nada. Back to Texas again. ANOTHER motherboard with new keyboard and battery. I have to be done now, right? 10 weeks with out my laptop so far, and thousands of FEDEX miles traveled . I gave my delivery guy a big smile yesterday with my laptop in hand. NOW the battery will not charge. ACER tells me that the battery is NOT the problem. I will TELL you the problem. ACER techs are sending out faulty machines without repairing them professionally. I had my lawyer draft a letter demanding a current top of the line new replacement laptop with the same features I had before. Let's see if ACER live up to their name and takes care of me and stand behind their products.
