Acer has
issued a voluntary recall for some of its Aspire laptops. The affected models
include the AS3410, AS3810T, AS3810TG, AS3810TZ, and AS3810TZG. Apparently,
some of these
laptops are
experiencing an overheating of the microphone cable after repeated and extreme
pressure is applied to the left palm rest. As a result, the unit case may
become deformed and the system could malfunction. To help eliminate the risk of
overheating, Acer has issued a voluntary safety recall to replace the microphone
cable in the affected units.
All of the affected models were manufactured before
September 15th of this year. To see if your unit is one of the laptops
that needs service, head on over to Acer's
website
and enter your Serial Number or the SNID.
