wanted: netbook for under 150?

I bought an acer aspire for £150 when asda offered them not so long back, but have lost the main page:confused: and my mouse is now stopped so was going to bring it back for a refund, but would like a replacement which they don't have, so was wondering if anyone knew of any good deals going on at the mo.

  • I cleaned the screen on my laptop and now there is no start up screen with buttons for mail, office,internet etc, I can access the internet but would like the screen back if pos, can this be done or is it a case of returning to shop?

    You could always do a system restore, which should put the Acer back exactly as you received it.

    If you 'cleaned the screen', whatever that means, why would you expect Asda/Acer to repair/replace/refund you for what sounds like your own user error?

    What exactly did you 'clean the screen' with? Just curious.

    computer screen wipes!

    Using them does not remove any screen icons-unless you rubbed very hard indeed!
    Tip-you should switch your laptop off before you clean the screen.
