Maybe they learned something from their experience with me then. They
lost my business for life over the screwing they gave me. Not that they
are going to care. We drug this through the weeds for weeks back when
this was going on. Some were trying to be helpful, others where offering
me insane solutions. Like hire a lawyer and sue MS over the $100.00. I
sent the machine back to Acer twice. Both times I had to pay the
shipping to them, they paid the return. Each time they would on the
phone have me re-install the OS first. This of course worked for 30
days. Then they would give me the RMA to send it back and they obviously
did the same thing. Then sent it back. So in 30 days I would be on the
phone again and they would start in with the, "lets re-install Windows".
After doing this a few times I figured out this was not a solution. It
was easy to see they were going to just snow me until the warranty ran
out.
Calling MS got me no where. They blamed it on Acer and told me I had to
have them fix it. Some here told me if I raised hell with MS they would
give me a new Key to fix it. I did not feel like spending my life on
hold to talk to more of their robots. Took the easy way out and just
paid for the new Key and disc. I made it clear to Acer that I would
never buy anything they made again and they said "sorry". So maybe they
have learned something from the experience.


Or multiple experiences.


That was what I was thinking, I am sure I was not the only one this
happened to. That machine is made so that the power in port is part of
the MB. If it gets damaged or broken the only fix (that will work) is
replace the MB.
So all of you who no longer have to deal with this owe me a thanks
for fixing it. :-)
