Acer Recalls Select Aspire Notebooks Due To Overheating

[Apoptosis]

It has come to our attention that certain Acer Aspire Notebooks may overheat under specific conditions. Acer is therefore voluntarily instituting a safety recall for these products.

The affected units are Acer Aspire models AS3410, AS3810T, AS3810TG, AS3810TZ and AS3810TZG manufactured prior to September 15, 2009. In the affected units the microphone cable may overheat when extreme pressure is applied repeatedly to the left palm rest. As a result, the unitҳ case may become deformed and the system may malfunction.

Acer has voluntarily instituted a safety recall program to proactively replace the microphone cable in the affected units to eliminate any risk of overheating.

To determine whether your unit is affected and requires to be serviced, enter the Serial Number (22 digits alphanumeric code printed on the white label on the bottom of the product ֠see picture) OR the SNID (11 digits numeric code, also located on the white label) at this website!
