Hi All,

Firstly I am very new to this forum. But I found this site very informative and great help for consumers like us.

My issue is with Acer Laptop (Model: Acer Extensa 5630). Everyone should be bewaring because there's an Inbuilt Problem with this particular model. Service Center people accepted verbally but denied giving and written.

Problem is with LAN Port/ Motherboard/ Design (I am not sure about the exact problem). All the owners of "Acer Extensa 5630" please check your Laptop. Whenever your Audio is on (Music, Movie, TV, etc) and if you are trying to connect to Internet through LAN (As i haven't tried WLAN, am not sure if same problem occurs) you can hear the strange sound & Flickering in Monitor while LAN is trying to acquire IP. Same strange sound and Flickering happens when you plug-out the LAN OR simple if Internet is gone while Music is still on. It can also cause Hanging of your Laptop, as my system used to hang some time when used to some heavy/multiple program.

Actually I purchased "Acer Extensa 5630" Laptop on 3rd October 2009 and found above mention problem in that. I handed over laptop to service center on 11th November and after that they made my life complicated. In brief, no time frame to resolve the problem, no response of my phone calls (Not only from Service Center but also from Toll Free All India Service Center), no response of my mails, etc. etc... Once the service centre people accepted verbally the problem and said it common with this particular model and nothing to worry, when asked the same in written they denied it. They were simply not able to solve the problem.

As they have a tendency to give false promises and not responding to customer’s query. On 16th November they promised me solution by 18th November, which as usual never happened. I got frustrated and started running out of option so, on 19th November I mailed them and asked for the solution in another 24 hour and in this particular mail I mentioned it very clearly that if not I will left with no option but to go to consumer court but sadly they even didn’t bothered to respond to that mail (no phone calls, no email).

On 21st November the call center people (All India Helpline No) gave me another set of email id and promised for prompt reply, I believed them and forwarded them the email but sadly no response (no phone calls, no email).

Before going to consumer court i.e. on 24th November I thought let try to find the solution again, I called All India Helpline Number but there was no proper response.

So, finally on 25th November I decided enough is enough and filled the case in Consumer Court.

Case No.: 2768, Bangalore Urban, Consumer Forum.

Now after getting notice from Consumer Forum they started calling me and started saying they have the updated driver now, bring your Laptop we can resolve issue now.

Here, I am still not sure whether they have a real solution or not or this just another lie but after going through all these I do not wish to have their product at all. Please guide me as I have mention in my Prayer at Consumer Forum for refund of money, how to prove my point as I don’t want to hire a Lawyer for this case. In my appeal to consumer forum I have submitted a copy of those emails.

Please guide me.

Regards,
A Utkarsh

Hi

A month back, i bought a Acer Laptop from Modern Computers Chennai (AshokNagar Branch). I face the following problem,

could you please help me to solve this issues

Hi,

I bought this laptop Acer Aspire 4736 (T6600 Intel core 2 duo) few months back.
I have installed XP in it and I don;t know why there seems to be a problem with the machine.

If it is running for some time its processes abruptly become slow... even if it is not runnin anything which required a lot of memory or CPU.. Even if there is no process running in the background the whole system stays like this and will not get back to normal if i donot restart the system.

The graphics respond slowly, the players start singing songs as if some old creepy record which has gone really slow and bad is playing.
The only way to solve this for me is to restart the computer... which i cannot keep on doing every now and then. I haven;t seen this problem anywhere in any laptop and I'm sure its not virus or anything.
I am fedup of this problem coming every now and then. Anybody has any idea. Please share.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I bought an acer netbook(MODEL AOD250) on 31 oct 2009. The next day i found that the machine hangs if you try to play songs. When i took the machine back to the seller ( Its acer distributor located in Aundh, Pune) they said its because of virus, so they formatted the machine and reinstalled windows. But the problem persisted, then i was told it has some problem with the speaker. The machine was connected to external speakers and even that could not help. All this Cleary showed that the machine has a problem with the underlying hardware.

I asked for a replacement as my machine is only a week old and i have not paid for a new netbook and not for a repaired piece. The acer dealer is not listening to me and is instead putting the blame that the machine has been mishandled and she disconnected the line showing no interest in looking into the matter.

Now its almost 10 days that my machine is lying with these people and my work is held up. I am doing a consult project for a US based firm and any delay in the delivery would affect my revenues as well as my client relations. I would like acer to bear all these costs as they gave me an unreliable and faulty machine.

Dear Jamshid,

Now I am 100% convinced with the After Sales Services of ACER, and that I have committed a major blunder by going for this brand instead of Dell.

Well as per your commitment i am attaching the job sheet scan copy and purchase bill and awaiting your response. Also give me the mail ID of National Service Manager or his cell phone no.

Thanks and regards,

Dear Jamshid,

I purchased a Acer brand Laptop Model no. 4530, two months ago from your shop at Wanawadi, with reference from Mr. Rajiv Geol who is the Regional Service head of a reputed mobile brand, and one of my acquaintance Mr. Shakoor Ustad from M/s Sharp Travel ( Nana Peth, Pune ) who know the owner of Data care Mr. Mhaskeji since last 20 yrs.

I am your first time buyers of Acer brand, whilst the initial purchase experience was good but was let down by a major fault in the set. Previously was using Dell 620 and was satisfied with the product and the onsite after sales services.

The sequence of the problem is as follows.

1) First complaint dated 01.09.2009, No.[protected]……………this complaint was cancelled because I have was on business tour and could not attend the service centre in time.

2) Second complaint dated 08.10.2009 No.[protected]………..Here major fault was diagnosed and Main board of the laptop was to be replaced.

Nature of Fault:- The laptop charges till 91% and then stop charging even though the adaptor is on, then the lap top works for 1hrs on battery and gives indication for low battery ………and shut down even though the adaptor is ON. I have to again restart the laptop and then the charging starts……..all the time I have to do this after every 1 hr…I am fed up with this fault. And this fault was shown to Mr. Rao from New Tech, Andheri ( E ).

Since the fault was diagnosis at as major fault that too within 1-months of purchase, I request nothing less than replacement with a packed piece and additional warranty. Attached is the Job card for your kind reference.

Thanks and Regards,

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.

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.
