Acer Recalls Aspire Laptops
Acer has issued a voluntary recall of some of it’s Acer Aspire laptops, due to an overheating issue.
The fault apparently lies a microphone cable that could cause laptops to overheat when extreme pressure is applied repeatedly to the left palm rest, which could damage the case of the affected units and cause the system to malfunction. Acer stated that it would replace the microphone cable “to eliminate any risk overheating”, however, users will still need to check the serial or ID number via the Web site to determine whether their laptops are eligible for the recall.
The laptops that are eligible for the recall include Acer Aspire models AS3410, AS3810T, AS3810TZ and AS3810TZG, made before September 15 2009.
