VN7-791G 3rd time in for repair in 5 months

i bought my laptop from pc world VN7-791G in february and i had it 2 weeks and it had distorted audio and as i bought it from pc world business , i could not have a replacement or my money back .. I had to agree to have it repaired , this was around the 3rd week in february , i got it back 2 weeks later and 26th june it developed a keyboard fault so i took it back and pc knowhow said they had changed the board and had to re activate my licence key in windows 8 . i got a phone call today 7th july around 4pm saying i could pick it up ( in the meantime i asked a question on here about whether my image would still work re 32gb image recovery as it had a new mobo ) My wife came home an hour ago 7pm and we collected it and i bought it home and plugged in power lead and pressed the on button and nothing ( pc knowhow said they had checked it in the accompanying letter ) So now it is back in pcworld for a 3rd time at 7.50pm . I feel well conned and there is nothing i can do about it , i will never recommend acer in future . So much for CONsumer rights

Well i just looked at the KNOWHOW site , where i am tracking the repair , and the replacement part is out of stock , so more waiting . I think due to all my problems i have had that i should of had a replacement . £900 quid is a lot of money to pay for something to be repaired 3 times in 5 months and it will always be in my mind when i get it back , thinking how long till it goes wrong again . Acer offered to take it in a repair but i declined because its been nearly 3 weeks now including the 1 hour or less i had it in my possession to find out it wouldnt power up .. I feel whoever fixes it , wont stop me worrying about when it will go wrong again . how would these people who run the show at knowhow and acer feel if it happened to them

Apple Repair Policy - time frame for repair

Does any one know how long will it take for apple to repair their products or what their policy is on repair times.
I have my macbook sitting in repair depot for more than 2 weeks waiting on a part .which is very frustrating .Is it common for Apple repairs to go for 3-4 weeks .
Mine is macbook bought in June 2006 and I had all kinds of issues with that ( screen flicker , rapid battery discharge , isight , discoloration and power off issues ).

I sent my MacBook in once on a Monday and received it back on Thursday. They must be waiting for parts for yours.

IMac 2008 dying again for 3rd time in 2.5 years - same problem! what to do!

Hi all
I've just made another appointment to take my iMac to an apple store for the 3rd time in it's short life.
I brought this iMac Oct 2008 and within a year the hard drive failed completely (spent a few months fighting with crashes/slowness/freezing etc until complete blue screen) - took it into the apple store and they replaced the drive... within a year (and several months of fighting again) it failed again... they replaced the drive again... for the last few months I have been fighting with the slowness/freezing and crashes more and more and now it's practically unusable and the blue screen comes up after it freezes longer than it's usual time)
it's taken me over 45 mins just to make the appointment and post on here from the last reboot!
What I want to know is... is this normal? will they just replace the drive again and this scenario keeps playing out on a yearly basis? (actually it's less than a year each time this happens) The last time the iMac was in they had it for 2 weeks yet didn't fix the screen (they replaced the glass the first time in yet nothing was wrong with it... now I have these giant whitish smears top and bottom... and gray bits) and I have a deadline coming up.
I'm a mature student due to start my final project for a BA (I'm in line for a first so I don't want to ruin things now) (my project is stop motion which takes a long time to do... not a two week job!) and the deadline is just five weeks away... but the iMac just can't be used for long now so I have no choice but to send it in ASAP!
anyone have any suggestions... the people in apple just say it's the hard drive but how can the hard drives be failing all the time... it has to be something else effecting them.
when I run the repair or disc analysis it says it's fine which it did the other times... the guy in apple had to do a different test with some gadget to show the problem (I'm not that computer literate ;-D)
gargh... I have bald patches over this thing!
this can't be normal... I really can't afford to buy another computer.. I would like to finish my BA as well

I rang apple and they said it was likely to happen again as this was the 3rd time so they will be replacing the iMac - yay!! the thought of arranging a cab (I dont' drive and I'm not carrying it on the tube or bus!) and then a week or two later back again... then the same issue again and again was just depressing.
hopefully I won't be without a computer for too long - they have to pick up my old iMac and then arrange for the new one to be sent so might take a week at least.
New one will be a 27" 1TB HD, 4gb ram... only has one 800 firewire port but I think I can join my two firewire drives together so shouldn't be an issue... but I'll just be glad to not fight with my computer.. took 5 hours for a simple powerpoint presentation - I'm really not that slow!!
oh... and wireless keyboard and magic mouse - I spilt whisky on my keyboard and it's not been the same since.. so all new shiny computer on the way soon.. yay!
I'm very relieved... I would have taken the same specs but I guess they don't do that but the extra specs will be very nice.
:-D

How many times have you sent your computer in for repair?

I am on my third repair since I bought the machine in April.
Once for a hinge that creaked loudly when you opened and closed it.
The second times was for the heat and whine as well as a the screen opening button had been worn down to black. (it came back with a new button and the same logic board and the same whine)
Now it is getting service for the whine, the peice of the top case the repair depot bent and a faulty fan.
I feel like they don't want to call it a lemon because it is a 1.83 machine and they will have a hard time selling it as a refurb.
Has anyone else had similar expiriences?

I have stripped screw heads too and it pains me to think about it. Thought this was just me. They said I can bring it to a store to have looked at but really I would rather not.
But I've had to send mine in 3 times for the whine. First time they replaced the power inverter and fans (even though I firmly do not believe that was the problem and talked to them at length about where the sound was and the updated logic board). The computer came back even louder. Back it went. This time, it came back "within spec". At this point I'm thinking I never should have sent it in so I use it for a week and the whine just gets louder and higher (although really not much different than originally). So I call Apple and sent it in again thinking at this point, I've already moved all my work so I can send it in as many times as it takes. But this time, it comes back with a new logic board and I have to say the difference is amazing. It is completely silent. I thought I could live with the noise before and that it should be expected and sending it in may cause other problems or maybe it really is within spec but the new logic board is absolutely dead silent and cooler that even the fans turn on less. I feel a lot better now (until Merom was announced today but oh well).

When will be ALL drivers for Aspire VN7-791G (VN7-791G-74RK) laptop?

I want to know when will be ALL drivers avaible for my laptop Aspire VN7-791G, do they in currently in development process?

Well, I can confirm from my own experience and at least 2 others that the bluetooth does not work as there are no Qualcomm Atheros bluetooth drivers for this model under Windows 10. There is a thread discussing this. http://community.acer.com/t5/Windows-10/VN7-791G-bluetooth-devices-not-working-after-Windows-10-upgrade/td-p/375176 One person managed to get this working using Windows 8.1 drivers but I haven't been able to get it working so far.

Insulation Material for Time Capsule PSU Repair

Hello
I have on of the Time Capsule with an broken PSU. Because Apple has no Extended Repair I decided to repair it myself.
It was no problem to fix the electronic parts of the PSU. I replaces 2 Caps and the TC works fine. Now I need to refit it again in the Case. My problem is that the black Insulation of the PSU was so porous that it broke in a dozen pieces.
Now I looking for an alternative material that I can use. I am afraid that when I close the TC the PSU will shorten with the Logic Board or the Aluminium Bottom Case. I was looking for "Mica Isolation Material" but nobody could supply me with it. Is their another material?
Does someone knows what Tempurature will be in the PSU (Celsius). I found this value nowhere in the NET
Pls. Help me to fit my TC together.
Regards
Gérard

The correct plastic is Mylar film..
But what I use is the highest quality and thickest overhead transparency film for color photocopy or lasers.. you can still easily purchase it in office suppliers.. I have a stack of HP one.. it is not quite as thick as the original material so I would double it up over the hot section of the supply. Use the old RF shield which is still ok as it is a metal coated plastic that doesn't go brittle.
If you log onto my website I have instructions there for repairing the power supply including the film.
https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair/apple-time-capsule-repair-type2
I have added the printer outline file to the bottom.. I print it through a standard b/w laser onto the color film. That gives you an accurate outline to cut around.
You could probably use B/W film instead but I found the colour film is thicker and higher grade.
I have both a pages and pdf version.. the problem with pdf is it resizes and it is essential that it print at exactly 100%.
The internal temperature of the supply is up to around 80degC to the hotspots in the supply.. main retifier diode.
See the infra-red shots here. https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair/apple-time-capsule-fan-mod/infra-red-pictures-of-tim e-capsule
But Chris has a shot of the TC supply opened.. not just the outside case temperature.
http://www.fackrell.me.uk/page4/page4.html
He has a peak temperature of 70C.. with the cover off.. so you can easily go another 10C with covers on.. anyway I think you should assume 80C as peak spot temperature on the covers. (Chris calls the hotest item a regulator but it is a diode in standard case you see regulator).
Colour laser film is rated to much higher temperature than this.. (fuser temp in the laser is up to 200C) but I have tested long term and it will become brittle same as the original. That is no problem as it is easy to print any number of copies.

EXTREMELY slow synching and having to reinstall, for the 3rd time!

Recently, I got an update for iTunes. I installed it and it said "Would you like windows to restart now or would you like to manually restart later?" I clicked on that I would manually restart. Well, I had computer problems so I had to hold down the power button and restart. (This is unhealthy and should only be done in an emergency!) When I turned it back on, I got an alert that said "Unable to open iTunes, please uninstall then reinstall." So I did. This is about the 3rd time this has happened. Now my iPod Video (80g) syncs majorly slow. Like when I say majorly I mean about 30min-1hr major. If you could help me in any way, that would be awesome!
+EDIT: Also, when I'm listening to my music it will stop at random parts of the song, any idea why? It has done this ever since it came out of the box!+
Message was edited by: Ashleigh Martini

So, since it syncs really slowly, make sure that it's not a USB issue with the iPod. Make sure it's the only USB device plugged in since the others might be taking power, and then try to get the iPod plugged in directly to the back of the computer to make sure it's plugged into your more powerful ports.
If that doesn't do it, it might be confused with a network drive and following that article helps you change the drive letter.
Also make sure to disable any third party software that might be interfering with it, go through this article if you've got XP or this one if you're using Vista.
Hope I was of some help,

I purchased numbers for my mac and my iPad. It is asking me to purchase it again (for the 3rd time) for my iPhone. Is that correct?

You only need to purchase Numbers once for each OS. Have you tried connecting your iPhone to your Mac via iTunes & adding Numbers there?
Eric,
The iOS versions of the iWork apps are "universal' & there is no reason to have to buy the iPhone version first.

My home button is not working sometimes and at the store they dont want to take it for repair because the problem did not show up at that time

My home button is not working sometimes and at the store they dont want to take it for repair because the problem did not show up at that time

When normally powering the phone, there would not be a loading bar, you would just see the Apple logo. You can try a reset of the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
You can take the phone to Apple, by making an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the hardware checked. Apple handles warranty and post-warranty issues, not Verizon. Have Apple look at the hardware to see if there are any problems.

I have been on hold for over 3 hours now. 3rd time calling billing department this week

I was told that I was being transfered to the billing department over 180 minutes ago. I have been on hold for over 3 hours and was on the phone with tech for 2 additional hours. This is extremely unprofessional. I was to get a refund for the past 2 months since the issue with PS and DW crashing and the ticket is still open. now i have lost productivity for 2 days due to tech additional day on hold. How is this even possible.

I am on terminal hold in the chat room. Tomorrow, I have to try calling them on the phone. This is what I have sent them so far.
"I see that some of the people in the "community" may have been waiting to chat for several hours! I am trying to purchase adobe cloud on line and I keep getting a message
"Your billing address doesn't seem to match the credit card you entered. Check to make sure you entered this information correctly, and if you still can't place your order, please call us at +1 800-585-0774. If you're not in North America, you can look up a local number here."
I have double-checked my billing address several times and I get the same message. How many times am I being charged for this?"
