    Well under DSGi's own policy, they can only send an item off for repair 3 times before they must replace it.

    Although if the fault is exactly the same, you could argue that the fault has persisted for longer than 28 days from collection and has not been repaired so you'd like them to write the laptop off and issue you vouchers for a new one. Under the 28 day repair or replace rule.

    I work for DSGi plc
    (aka currys, pcworld, dixons)


    Anything said by me, are not the opinions of CAG and are mine alone. I have nothing to do with the legal system in any way, the majority of my information will reflect a common sense approach.
    So please seek advice from a professional if in any doubt.

    The Recent Acer Laptops are really bad, They are very cheaply made. I dont like fixing them because you know they will keep coming back.
    Goodluck & I hope you do get you're refund or a product which is better.

    to be honest im not keen on fixing them either, but more because they seem to like over doing the screws and i always seem to have to hunt for them.

    what problem is it and what model is it, it may turn out to be a known issue on the internet which may help with any claims

    Its the replacement parts ACER supply us to repair it. Its sometimes not uncommon to fit about 3 mainboards before coming across one that works properly.
