ACER CORPORATION DISGUSTING FRAUD!!!! DISGUSTING FRAUD!!!! SAN JOSE SAN JOSE California
Dear Prepaid Legal,
My intake number is 517099, I purchased an Acer Aspire 3680 14.1" Widescreen Laptop PC w/Intel Celeron M Processor 420 computer on Aug 02, 2007 from Acer America Corporation. I received this product on Aug 8, 2007 when I received the product it did not work, I immediately called Acer and was told that a technician will call me back. I never received a phone call from a Tech I called two times each per month, in the following months of Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar and I received a phone call from Acer in March. I was instructed to mail in my Laptop at my expense for repairs March 31, 2008 I received my Laptop back and it still was not working properly.
I contacted Acer and advised that I will not be paying shipping and sent my Laptop back to them on the following dates April 8th, 23rd and 30th. Each time that I received my Laptop back it still did not work. Acer pretended to fix my Laptop and send it back not working until the warranty expired and then the hard-drive crashed and now the laptop will not even boot-up. I have called Acer numerous times only to be put on hold 45 minutes at a time and several technicians answering the phone pretending to be managers stating that they cannot help me unless I pay them $500 to fix a Laptop that never worked from the day I bought it.
At this time I authorize Prepaid Legal/Feldman & Monaco to contact

By phone or written communication concerning the demand of a refund of $449.00, the serial number for my Laptop is LXAZL0Y066707164C52505. I have attached copies of their repair statements received with my Laptop stating Acer America Corporation had fixed my Laptop despite having to send it back after each letter because the Laptop was still not working. I have peroozed the Rip-Off Report.com and they have 29 similar complaints against them. Acer America has an MO of stating that they have repaired their defective product when it is not repaired and then procrastinating until the warranty expires and then charging you the same amount you paid for your Laptop for repairs. I have confirmed with a local computer expert that the failure to my Laptop is a manufactering defect and the price of $500 is 3 times the cost of the repair.
I have called the Corporate Office several times concerning this matter and they are trying to procrastinate in handling this situation. I have faxed copies of their repair letters, my purchase receipt and email confirmation of repairs from this company that never happened. Thank you for your assistance to this matter.

I also have problems with an Acer product. I have an Aspire lap top I purchased from my local Wal-Mart near the end of 2010. I started having problems with this unit from the start.
My biggest problem is that I cannot get any external multimedia capture cards to work with it. I have tried several Dazzle capture cards as well as a Roxio capture card and none will work. I did a search on line and discovered that Acer Aspire lap tops have a huge problem with the Roxio software and all of the suggestions for remedying this problem has not worked.
I am trying to contact someone with support to see if this problem can be resolved. The laptop is usable for other purposes but not for the sole reason I purchased it. I am likely going to replace this with yet another lap top in order to fill the requirements of a webcast I am planning to do soon.
I certainly will never purchase another Acer product again. I have been flooded with comments about the poor quality of their products from my members. I wish I had been aware of the Acer problems before ever investing in one of their products.
