    Acer Recalling Some Aspire Notebooks
    [​IMG]
    Acer today issued a voluntary recall for some of its Aspire consumer notebooks. The affected models are listed as follows, manufactured before 15 Sept 2009.

    Acer Aspire:

    • AS3410
    • AS3810T
    • AS3810TG
    • AS3810TZ
    • AS3810TZG

    The products are being recalled because "the microphone cable may overheat when extreme pressure is applied repeatedly to the left palm rest. As a result, the units case may become deformed and the system may malfunction."
    Please see the Acer link below for more information.
