Acer Aspire Heating Problems

My third laptop, an Acer Aspire, was almost double of what I could afford at the time, so I did but it using my credit card and pay it within the year. I was happy during the first month; it was like a dream come true, fast and furious.

Soon my notebook started restarting, and I could feel it burning my legs when I was keeping it on me so it was not necessary at all to diagnose the problem because it was the COOLERL. I called the shop where I bought it, because it was a friend of mine, and he told me to send the laptop back to service to check for the problem, because it was a new model, and I was the first to have it and no other users reported any kind of troubleshoots with Acer Aspire Models.

I knew that if I would send it the service it would take a month to get it back, so I started to diagnose it by my self, of course without opening it inside because I didn’t want to lose the warranty. I found out that the cooler was not rotating as it should, even that it was new.

THE SOLUTION: After a week of researching I found the fix, it was a bios mistake, so I upgraded it the latest version that was available from the Acer’s website. Just upgrade it to the latest version available.

After few months I got few friends complaining to me about notebook restart because of heating problems, and all of them with Acer Aspire notebooks. It wasn’t only the problem for my model Aspire 5720Z, almost every aspire model were affected from the cheapest models with Celeron processors up to Dual Core and Core 2 Duo ones.

Where does the problem come from? I can’t prove it but I think many of Aspire models come with Linux Os to cost cheaper. Owners usually install Windows Operating systems such as Vista and XP, and they were not supported at the beginning.

Many of you might think that Acer laptops are not good enough; I’m proving that you’re wrong. I’m very satisfied, mistakes happens all the time, Acer is much better than my previous Laptops, and many manufacturers like HP, Dell, Sony etc had mistakes in batteries, or they were even spreading viruses with their Drivers CDs and DVDs, which is so funny when I read in internet. My notebook battery it’s perfect for about a year an a half.
