Netbook wouldn't charge, Acer kept screws
My Acer netbook would not charge, even with the charger plugged in. I had
it repaired under warranty. Now everything is good. Except: I took the hard disk out because they warn that they may (most likely will) erase the disk. I left the teeny tiny screws in the netbook. Big mistake! It came back without them. I put the hard disk back in and the netbook runs fine. However I cannot mount it properly because a couple of these screws are missing. I have checked everywhere - Fry's, the Geek Squad, every repair place I can think of. All the screws they have are too fat. My calls to Acer fall on deaf ears. Ideas, anyone? TIA, Paul |

Did you need to get a return shipping authority and if so, how did you obtain it? Thanks, Ed |

Supplied the info and they verified ownership, but the warranty is expired. Didn't realize I had it that long. Plan B: Requested an iPad for Fathers Day. grin Ed |
