Anyone from Singapore can confirm pricing for replacement keyboard dock?
Because retarded Highpoint jacked up the keyboard price. TS wants to be working second hand / first hand Switch Alpha 12 / Switch 3/5/7 backlit/non-backlit keyboard. This post has been edited by iSean: May 14 2018, 02:33 PM |

QUOTE(Zul_XT @ Oct 24 2017, 04:46 PM) I believed the first batch don't have a Backlit Keyboard. I bought the Switch Alpha i7 version last June 2016 because of the backlit keyboard, but after unbox, not! Call Acer, the tech said Malaysian version does not. The Catalogue does not state anything about the Backlit Keyboard is only on certain region. Feels cheated, but so far after 1 n half year no issue. Now is my turn to crack the screen I did replace the LCD screen though due to I accidentally dropped the Switch while it still in the bag, bang the corners, got crack from the side towards the Camera lens. Cost of replacement RM800 at Highpoint USJ. huhu   Time to get a new laptop lah |

In full R/G/B Background . Mine had a similar case. But didn't RMA. Gotten 2 units. All screen burn in after a few weeks of use. It is very noticeable in all recent display panels. Seems like bad lamination. Also screen is mounted with motherboard. Hopefully your technician is skillful to do the repair. Complaint for replacement battery as well.

Hi, I've just joined the family with Acer Switch 5.
I need confirmation that the USB 3.1 port supports video outputs like HDMI, VGA, and DisplayPort before I proceed to buy the adaptor. Anybody done this before? Which brand of adaptor you're buying? Thanks. |

Friend of mine sent her unit for warranty recently. The glue holding the screen was giving way and the keyboard wont hold on to the magnetic part of the screen.
Turns out the battery had expanded inside. Extended warranty does not cover the battery, but because the battery was causing other issues, they replaced the battery foc |

Problem: When I press the ON/OFF button, the laptop turns on (you can hear the fan moving, sound,etc) but it immediately shuts down. Then a few seconds later, it switches on again. How can I get it to start normally? I've already installed latest updates.
In urgent need for help. Thanks.  |
