Sorry to hear about your misfortunes but if I may be so bold,just a couple of questions as I'm confused.
If this is your 3rd laptop purchased from them,then this must be the first time you've had any problems with them,am I correct.
Stay with me on this for a second.
The customers you sent have had no problems as they would have made you aware of it & would have thought you would have clearly mentioned this also in your original post.
To recap then,from past experience you had no gripe with them.
Also the people you sent there have most likely had no problems either owing to lack of complaints.
The conclusion is that this is obviously a one off & seeing as you've been a good customer over previous occasions,I would like to think it only right for the outlet to give you the benefit of the doubt & repair the malfunction with no charge to you.

Why is it that everytime I attempt to type a long post,I keep on getting the message "Out of Character"

Go take a chill pill Andy0210!!

You made your first post once, you were new to this forum before.. dont ruin this post, as its a bad experience thread, a warning for our members, its intended to save the time and money of others..

People need to be informed about these things, a bit of bad publicity does a great deal more than just sitting back, letting it happen and not saying anything to anyone..

Im glad Steve has made his first post, there will probably be more to come, this how the forum works..

Not having a go at you, but please Andy0210 just spare this thread with your stupid remarks..

My questions are:

If something gets spilt on your laptop´s keypad, surely this is not under Acers garantee, so then why did it supposedly get sent to them up the north?

Acer would never take 5-6 weeks just to repace this keypad! and they would never have made such a botched job of fitting the new one!

New keypads off the internet are 20-25 euros and fitting it takes 2-3 minutes, so why charge 90 Euros..
