Question:
Acer 5680
I purchased a new 5680 Aspire and my aspirations have frozen.
The unit keeps freezing up and then I have to restart. I sent this to be checked after 4 days of trying to sort it out. I recd this back from the Acer labs(in israel) and now it shuts down programs, blanks out the screen and generally is a pain.
Has anyone had any experiense with this laptop. ??:mad:

Re: Acer 5680
Received mine 2 weeks ago. A lttle slow at startup but that's probably because of all that bloatware. Otherwise, no problems with it & perfectly happy with it.

Re: Acer 5680
Hi all,
I just bought a new Acer Aspire 5680 laptop and it keeps switching itself off not long after I boot it up. I am running it off the AC adaptor and the battery is fully charged up.
I booted the laptop up and waited for it to run me through the XP config wizard that you get with a fresh install.
Then I sat through 10 minutes of the Acer management wizard installing all the Acer apps and drivers for LAN, bluetooth etc.
Once that was set up, I wanted to set up a wireless connection, but the laptop switched itself off. It wasn't anything like going into hibernation or shutting down properly. Instead, it just turns off completely and I have to press the power button for it to boot up.
It keeps switching off after 1 or 2 minutes after booting up into the windows desktop. I have not installed anything on it.
The furthest I got was to finish installing Norton (through it's wizard) and upon scanning for updates, it switched off again!!!
I have read there have been lots of problems with Acers (although, I admit, not knowing these problems before I bought it). Does anyone else have the same problem as me?
If so, what did you do to solve the problem? I heard sending the laptop back to Acer is not worth my time as their support is crap.
Any help with this please?
