Hey, Beaux here, I would really appreciate some insight here, I don’t really need any technicians considering I’m returning it tomorrow. But my mum just recently purchased a brand new Acer Aspire 5 for me, for online school through Office Works for $1096 and not even 24 hours after getting it. It’s died on me.
I’m worried it was my fault, if I pushed it too hard by downloading games or what not. But the screen and keys are frozen. It’s making cracklings noises from within and there’s pixels flickering across the screen. I do have a video if anyone would like to see it. I’m just trying to browse around for this problem in case anyone else has found a way out of it. I’m actually more concerned if this could of been avoided by not downloading games or anything. Feel free to reply, any insight is a step closer to dealing with the issue.
If you want the specs they’re here:
i7 + Iris XE core
516GB + 8GB RAM
Thanks again for anyone contributing to this post, I’m feeling very upset at the moment and frustrated with how the worlds treating me and my luck. I’m not that well-off and this laptop was the best we could afford and was meant to keep me happy through University.
