Note: When you have printed out the e-Parcel document please disregard instructions 3a and 3b.
We thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
Your ticket has now been completed.
This is getting unreasonable. This product (acer aspire 5750g) has been selling in whole australia now, but me, as the first batch buyer (which the chipset is deemed to degrade over time until malfunctioning), has yet to receive any news to replace the chipset. From acer's website it iss stated that affected users can choose to swap their laptop with the new batch laptops which the chipsets are functioning perfectly.
All my friends in Malaysia has already got their motherboard repaired or whole notebook swapped. If I am not proceeding my studies here, I would have gotten mine replaced last month.
This is already my 5th time sending question regarding this issue (including 2 which are completely ignored), and ever since March, I've always been asked to wait. Is acer planning to delay their users until the warranty expired hence they do not have to repair it for free?
Truly dissapointed user, Tony.
