I've a Acer 4502 Laptop which struck by lightning.
Assuming either procs or motherboard spoilt already.

1. How much to repair if it is repairable?
2. Any charge if it is not repairable?
3. How much can sell if I sell off everything except harddisk and bagcase?

KL add: Lot 3.IT-9A/9B,3rd Floor,No.7,Jalan 1/77,Off Jalan Bukit Bintang,Kuala Lumpur

I suggest u just bring the notebook to the above location.
1.It depends.
2.Maybe not and maybe yes.Sometimes small service fees is needed but must get ur permission first.
3.This,u have to refer to the service center,the repairer will guide u thru and be no worry, no forceful of anyway.Take it easy.

i have a Acer Aspire 1690
bought it 2 years ago...been heavily using it as a desktop replacement
Sumtimes have left it open nonstop for 3to4 days.
6 months ago, the fan have been giving me weird noises. like as if there is no oil and it is spinning while hitting sumthing, i opened it and cleaned the fan but
problem still persist. Last week, the sound disappeared and i suspect that the fan may have kaputt!!!

I wanna know whether it is possible to replace it on my own at home. Is there any special expertise required? My laptop have ran out of warranty
I have adequate pc knowledge, but not to overclocking or modding level. Is it gonna cost a lot? Running short on money . Thnx

Please read below before come out ur final`decision
1.Acer has stopped provide fan to reseller.
2.The original fan is only available thru their service's agent.
That the service's agent is highpoint.

3.When bring to Highpoint ,before repair ,their service fees is Rm 100.00 if I am not wrong.
4.Hence, you have no choice but bring the laptop to the agent as the part is not availabled in outside unless some shops still keep the old stock but it is rare to say.

Thank you for ur enquiry.

it started when the laptop hung ... nothing can be done except for restarting the whole machine.

when trying to restart (normally you'll get acer screen during bios initialisation) it will show blank screen ... nothing there .. not even the cursor blinking in the top left corner..

try restarting few times on off the main power still remain the same... after 6-7 tries... the machine starts to boot up again normally with the acer screen in bios... logged into windows normally .. when i tried to startup WoW ... it hung again.. n this time much more intresting ..

the screen which hanged... starting to show burning signs around the top and right layer of the screen.. the burn mark gets darker and darker.. so before anything gets worst .. i turn off the machine again...

try restarting 5-6 times .. and the laptop boots again..

now ..my questions. what is going wrong wit my laptop sad.gif
the warrranty period is over .. i nid to get a reliable repair shop to fix this at a affordable price.. any recommendations ?

Very sorry for late replying ur question being posted.If you have solved the problem,leave this.
But if have not , just PM me .I will try to help you out there.

Thank you with sorry
Have a nice day.

i have the same problem too acer tm4102, i was watchin movie then the screen got blank so i restart the laptop
n the screen is blank too...

what is the problem???

The percentage problem is high usually caused by LCD Screen.In most case, Lcd spoilt that resulted all this problem.

That is a way to check .You link to a normal monitor /PC Monitor(Lcd), use Function (Fn) + (F2/F3/f4, either 1) ,see whether the display appear on both screen.If not ,then for sure the LCD is spoilt liao.

Note : And use control panel-device manager-display setting for LCD setting)

Added on October 20, 2007, 5:03 pmThru the experienced of a notebook/laptop repairer,
ACER problems mostly caused by 2 components.That is either

(1) LCD spoilt or
(2) Motherboard (That usually caused no display/hanged/restart)

Price of ACER is cheap since it is now mass production in low costs labour country-CHINA.
They tend not focus on spare-parts because of the laptop getting cheaper and cheaper.

1.Within 14 days and subjected to their manpower availability.You can usually send without ur valuable harddisk together to them.
2.Motherboard : costs of repairing will last you to Rm 1k more or less,depent on the type of motherboard.Be it P4/Duo Core/C2D etc.
3.Lcd : It depends on the size of the LCD.Be it on 12"1/13.3/14.1/15" etc.Usually also costs around RM 800+ to RM 1K +

In my opinion,I think that's why Acer prefer user to buy a new laptop as they consider the part is high ler.

Hi.

I would like to ask your guys on the pricing for repairing Sony Vaio Model VGNSZ433N. Last 2 week my friend used the notebook for the whole day.Turn of the notebook and close the lid. The notebook just lay bare there at the table. Take a nap, the in the afternoon when she open the notebook lid suddenly there a crack at the middle of the LCD notebook.

She send it to sony customer service repair, today got the offer price and way too high.. when she calculated if she trade in her broken LCD notebook, she can afford to buy one new notebook again.

Please if your guys here know of or if your are a technical person that can repair the notebook with price that she agreed and can afford then she would willing to come and send the notebook for repair to your shop. By the way how much is the cost to repair a broken LCD notebook Vaio Model VGNSZ433N. Sony should have a warranty for this kind of things because there are no mishandling on the part and the notebook LCD crack from inside. not cover and the LCD. The LCD cover suppose to protect the notebook. BUt then sony service centre told her that there is no warranty for the type of problem.

Help and suggestion are very much appreciated. do call me at 0178702948-montagut if your can offer a price to replace and fix the notebook. Thanks.

Hi guys...

I have an IBM thinkpad T43 which i suspect got motherboard problem, where can i send it for repair? Need advice and suggestions. Please help. Thank you.

Here my courteous reply to you.

I received a reliable info that Sony-Japan Technology product would not be easily damaged unless not handled carefully by customer or the product having too much pressured by putting wrong place or rough usage.

Your situation described partly as "physically damaged" which warranty is void or no more warranty.

The costs of replacement of Sony LCD is very high consider it is the only customisable brand of notebook that can reach resolution 2048 or more.

I been told the 15"Sony LCD costs around RM 4k to RM 6K .

Futhermore, the part is only available at SONY service centre.We cannot find anywhere in Malaysia.

Therefore, I am very sorry but can't help you on this.

Thank you for sharing

Have a nice day.
