I ordered the Ferrari 4005. It came today. I took it out, plugged it in, pushed the power button and nothing... the screen didn't show any sign of turning on at all. The power button was glowing, the little HD light was on, the fan was going, power light on... I waited and waited... nothing. I had to hold the power button to get what little was on to turn off. So I checked everything from the wall outlet to the components being plugged in firmly. Then I noticed if I didn't push the button long enough it wouldn't even attempt to turn on. It did the same thing a few times, but now when I push the power button the lights light up for less than 2 seconds and it turns off making a very very quiet beep like noise. Time to RMA the DOA.
Here's the info from the box:
LXFR406035523091ACEM00
P/N: LX.FR406.035
System BIOS: 00/3A17
In the off chance you get this particular unit, it is either still broken or has been reburbished.
Random thoughts:
#^*$%^#^*&@!!! Doesn't Acer test their laptops at all??? ...
Shipping box was not damaged... but maybe it got baked or exposed to radiation or something in shipping...
Damn, this sucks...
To whoever/whatever is responsible...
What's are the chances I could get a hold of Acer and get them to cross-ship overnight a replacement with no charge and no effect on the warranty of the new unit? I'm thinking zero, but I couldn't get a hold of them. Next best option is to have the store I bought it from cross-ship the replacement (of course I get charged until they get the defect)... but they'll probably just do some cheap ground shipping and it'll take forever...
