    I just thought I would let you know how I got on.

    I am now the proud owner of a Acer laptop i5 core, backlit key's she came this afternoon.

    I have done both the USB Pen recovery & DVD recovery as per the wonderful recovery program on Acers computers & there very helpful how to videos on their website & Youtube.

    I have taken off the security it came with & now I have Avast, Paid for Malewearbytes & Windows Firewall.

    No blue screens, loading every webpage correctly & does not make your ears bleed when playing music like the Samsung one did lol.

    I have found a click & collect Acer Warranty for three years for £33 so once I have some more penny's I will also be buying this as this laptop has the same hinges as my broken PB.

    Thank You for all your help

    Once again (fingers Crossed) Luckyone xxx

    £33 is too much

    Here too

    Check before purchase that they are compatible with your machine.

    I had a live chat online with one of the Acer people & asked which Warranty product code for a 3 year warranty is the right one for my laptop gave sn.

    Both are ok so I asked what they both did:

    Cheaper one covers 3 Year hardwear, accidental damage, Liquid spills not covered

    the dearer one covers 3 years hardwear, accidental damage & liquid spills

    So I think I will go with the dearer one out of the two I have never spilled anything on a laptop before but you can bet I would if I did not spend the extra £4.99 lol

    Thanks for your help xxx
