I bought an Aspire one in November to beat the christmas rush. Played with it for a week then put it under the tree. Come Chrsitmas day switched it on no problem. Had my roast turkey dinner came back switched it on again. Dead!! just a black screen and the fan going. Took it back to comet who were very good about it and gave me a replacement. One month later same problem. Just spoken to acer who say its waiting for a new motherboard. Just hope I dont wait months like some of you guys.

Thanks for your feedback on Aspire One. First time I’ve heard about this. Didn’t know that Acer treats customers like that?

Very nice! I bought one a couple weeks ago and love it so far.

I loved my first Aspire One til the day– 1 month into ownership — when I got the fatal black screen when I turned it own. No, it had never run hot & I had never opened it up.
Sent it back to the manufacturer ; was told the return would be 7-10 days. called on the tenth only to be told that they had pulled the hard drive but also needed to replace the motherboard & one was not available…. on back order… no idea when it would come in.
I fought it all the way up the ladder, but they offered me a refurbished one if they had one (they did not). Or I could wait til no-one-knew when and get my old one now refurbished with two months+ gone from the warranty. Finally they offered a refund (which I still haven’t seen one month later).
Since I hadn’t been able to find another netbook whose keyboard I could use, I convinced myself it was just a fluke… and bought another one….
which black screened one hour ago.
HELP!
I love the AA1 except for the minor detail that it appears to be a one-month wonder.
