Hi all, since there are many 5750G owners now, I decided to open this thread to discuss about our laptops.
The discussion is continued from this thread,

Acer Highpoint is now giving out 3 options to affected user.

Reserved~

add me to the owner of 5750g..still having BSOD problem..
btw any of u guys replace the motherboard already??
i wan to know how long the process will take..

the motherboard will be available on April if im not mistaken as i read it from other users who already contacted Acer Highpoint.It might takes 2-3 days after inspection depending on availability

so nid to wait until April or can juz send now??

u can send now but they will probably have to hold your laptop until the spare parts is available.

is it necessary for the bios thingy

no i guess. i never upgrade my bios unless i have some problems.i have downloaded the new bios but i havent installed it yet.lol

Ok done


I update whenever there is new(don't really check for it, only update if some post the link )

U downloaded but never update, by the time u want to update there may be newer versions.
= =

me owner as well

previously got 2 BSOD episodes saying driver bla bla bla... always happen if left the notebook for a long time. probably the power management thingy.

anyway, just updated all the necessary drivers today... will see how it goes.

mainly use 5750G for video editing and normal office work plus Unreal Tournament, Modern Warfare 2 and Angry Bird. So far so good!

hi, may i know when will Acer start shipping this 5750G model(i mean with problem fix) to Malaysia again, so that I can buy from the retailer?

sry for my bad english

as early as March but will reach full production on April or May.u have to wait for another 2 months to be save.

Slot me in the Battleship...

Awaiting for new new motherboard or the model listed to swap...

anyone here already send the laptop to acer servece centre??
may i know how long it will take to make the replacement..>.<
motherboard replacement..due date is 21-2-2011..

[b]WRONG INFORMATION..SRRY FOR MY MISTAKE..

i think maybe in march or april will get picked up our laptop..

yes. me too. i oso just called up the Acer service center (174/02/2011, 15:29).
they said the motherboard not yet arrived Malaysia.
So, what we can do is wait until march or april
1. Acer send people come to our house collect laptop to service (FOC)
2. Acer will send back our laptop to us oso after the service (FOC oso)
3. no need provide receipt, just provide them laptop enuf.

juz minor correction, they "say" it should be available early march, not april...thats wat 'they' say ya, not me

huh? how is tat possible?? the due date is before the replacement reach??

reminder : make sure u guys ask for some sort of "proof of returning" like invoice or acknowledgement that enables u to claim back ur laptop...if u dun hav such proof, say goodbye to ur lappy once & for all
