If you’ve recently purchased an Acer Aspire laptop, you’ll want to check out Acer’s online notice of a product recall for certain models. It seems that some of these laptops have a microphone cable which may overheat when extreme pressure is applied repeatedly on the left palm rest, causing the casing to become deformed. The models affected include the Aspire models AS3410, AS3810T, AS3810TG, AS3810TZ and AS3810TZG manufactured before September 15th 2009. You can check out the details here, and see if you have an affected model and arrange for it to be sorted out.
