Blue, I wonder will VC help me on this one :-

Acer Aspire one D250 not charging properly.

When I switch on the lappy and the power are plugged in to my lappy, the battery charging light blinks evertime (if it charge it should not be blinking!),


If I connect the new adapter that I bought from Ebay - it works but if I disconnect the charger - my lappy shut down!

Battery % shows no % charge when the lappy is connect to the adapter.

Any help please? I could be wrong - it could be that I need to change the battery (which is not a problem) but I don't want to do that until I get some info for you guys. Because it might not be the battery since I can use the lappy with the charger on.

Hi everyone,
Ok this could just be a one off a manager making up their own rules but I have just come from a Tesco Express and had an altercation shall we say.

Put my shopping through, handed over a JTD + Receipt & SA says "Sorry we cannot accePt these"

"why" I asked "Because whoever you got it off it is not cocha(!!)

"But I got it from Tesco" I said Supervisor is standing behind SA and says "My manager says we are not to accept these as they are invalid and because it says Tesco on it we have to confiscate it"

"But I got it from Tesco , it is a JTD voucher I got from Tesco because some of the items I bought are dearer than Asda, have Tesco stopped JTD?"

"THey must have erm I don't know. Do you want their CS number?"

"No I want to use my voucher that is mine"

"Sorry you cannot have it back"

So I have left with my shopping - I should have put it back - but I got totally thrown by this. I can't help but think it is a manager taking umbridge to me using vouchers :-/

Any thoughts?

Re: 2 blocks of Lurpak for a £1, if you use the £1 off £3

Asda are selling the blocks 2 f £3 so would get back £1 with PC... free butter.

Is this correct?

I used them this morning without even a hint of a problem.So i think its your store being funny was a big tesco though so maybe a difference for express?
Did you manage to keep your reciept,could you re-print it.Might be worth trying again.
Also email head office(address is on coupon page) as thats a well iffy response

No i dont think it is.To get a price check asda has to be cheaper.
It would work if you bought 2 in asda and did their price check as tesco would be £1 cheaper BUT you would not be able to use the coupon as its a tesco one.
Does that make sense?

In my experience that sounds like the battery is dead.usually you can use the lappy on ac power even if battery is in the laptop.Battery does not really come into play until the power cord disconnected.
Have you tried leaving it on charge but switched off for 24+hours?This sometimes reconditions that battery and sorts the problem out?

Farmville I would be straight onto Head office and also put it in writing to Uncle Phil (hopefully he took his email addy to his new job). DO NOT PRINT THE VOUCHER AGAIN because they might see it in their system when you complain that you couldn't use it and they nicked it. The only get out they have for taking it is this in the terms

This voucher is and shall remain the property of Tesco Stores Limited and is not for resale or publication.

otherwise it is like taking your money. Did you get a receipt from them as proof they took it and you didn't use it against any shopping? I hope you also got all the staff and managers names? When you talk/email Tesco tell them that the staff made you feel like a criminal etc and it is slander accusing you of fraud by saying you are trying to pass off a fraudulant voucher. I would lay it on thick saying how upset you were etc etc and hopefully you will get a full apology and a gift card for not only the price of the voucher but also the upset. Do not try and use the voucher once it is sorted though unless Tesco tell you to as it may have been flagged and anyways you don't know you can re print it so as far as your concerned it has gone. Good Luck.
