Had a bunch of issues with it over the ownership time... Power pack died, CPU fan died a noisy death, had to re-paste the CPU and GPU heatsink connections... Oh well.

The only issue is that the screen bezel has spilt down the side when you open it, but clips back together easily. It probably explains why they were going so cheap for a while, there were probably a bunch of farked ones that needed selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an ideal scenario but onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't have the time to take off work to properly repair the Acer (new CPU and/or RAM and complete re-install of windows), so will put it to the side and get replacement hardware at some point down the track to get it back into a working state and either use it for a dedicated purpose or sell it.
