Thanks bro Ericz, is like u said 2280 type .

Hi there, u're welcome Bro Sorry didn't notice your previous reply

btw I ended up swapin the hdd for a 240gb ssd that I got for free, so my m.2 slot still empty haha..

I should really migrate to a m2 ssd+hdd setup tho, cus always running out of storage space..

My VN7 744N encountered a problem today after 1 year and 2 months (no warranty anymore )

It suddenly shut off during usage and cannot be turned back on. The charging blue light did not light up too. Anyone else has encountered anything similar to this before?

Extra info : since last week my laptop sometimes suddenly get "unplugged" but get "plugged" in back after few seconds.

That's scary man.. I'm assuming it didn't simply run out of battery juice and the power adapter is broken?

Well, it's always plugged in and by right the battery should be 90%+. So yeah, any idea what might be the problem? I tried resetting the better via the small hole at the back but didn't seem to fix the problem.

I suspect it's power related.. Best to take it back to Acer.. Hope it doesn't cost so much & your HD is intact.

Sorry but most probably hardware issue and have to send to service center.

Sent to a service center in Terengganu (not real acer service center, cuz there is no acer service center in terengganu...), they said it's the power circuit in the motherboard. Around RM424~, but the catch is need to send to KL maybe the real Acer Service Center and gonna take around 1 MONTH. -____-

Hmm, could be serviced by Acer in KL and better to take one month to get it fixed properly than a shorter period, only for the issue to reoccur again.

After a year and a half, my keyboard seem malfunctioning. My Alt key is not working, assume i shardware problem tho, my left alt key spoiled. right alt key working, gonna send to warranty hopefully they can fix on the spot

Hi, can anybody confirm that the model VN7-592G-58SJ (seen here) has USB-C with 3.1 gen2 10gbps, and if it also has DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 3 capabilities?

Also, can the laptop be charged using the USB-C? If yes, USB-C only or does it also have an AC power connector?

The official page only says "USB Type-C". And some online stores mention USB 3.1 but some don't. Just want to confirm this (especially if from someone who already have this model)

Just found out about this sub forum

My 3 year old acer just went kong

The problem is the motherboard. Need a reliable place to repair my acer (anywhere in klang valley)

Need recommendation for any forumers here. Thanks
