Acer recalls its ultrathin laptops

Darius Chang  |  Oct 21, 2009

It seems the Taiwanese PC maker is having a little troube with its thin-and-light machines. The following models manufactured before September 15, 2009, have an issue in which the microphone cable under the left palm rest may overheat extreme pressure is applied over a period of time. This could result in system malfunctions and a deformed chassis.

Affected units
  • Aspire 3410
  • Aspire Timeline 3810T
  • Aspire Timeline 3810TG
  • Aspire Timeline 3810TZ
  • Aspire Timeline 3810TZG


    • You can check if your model is one of the recalled units by inputting your serial number at Acer's support Web site. The Taiwanese firm says it will simply replace the faulty cable when you send in your notebook.
