Aspire-AO756-serial number validation

sorine — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:39:51 GMT

I just purchased an Aspire One AO756 in Thailand. I am trying to contact Support, phone or email. It will not validate my serial number nor my SND. The reason I am trying to contact Support is that the notebook did not come with Recovery Management installed and it does no have a dvd drive.

Thanks for your help.

That's all good and well but it doesn't answer my problem with validation. An swer which I assume you don't have. As forthe links you provided re recovery--I've been there. The problem I have is that my machine does not have an optical drive and it did not come with recovery disks nor does it have a hidden recovery partition. So what was Acer thinking (if they were) regarding recovery? Doesn't make sense!!

All Acer systems ship with a recovery partition and eRecovery software. Specifically so that our customers can create their recovery media and/or use the recovery process outside of Windows. Why the system you have does not have EITHER of these things ... I would not speculate.

If you would like someone to address the validation error on the serial number, please list the URL where you are getting a validation error.

I'm trying to go here:

Again... support will not validate either my serial number or my SND.

That is a United States URL, and you are attempting to enter a serial number from Thailand which may not be a shipping model in the United States.

If you would like to contact support in Thailand, please use the Service Locations link below.

You know, dealing with Acer Support is like dealing with Microsoft and the "Game of Thrones". It's around and around in a circle and through the hoops. Yes, I bought the machine in Thailand and I went to the Thailand support site and tried to access email support but they say I am not a user. Take a look... go find how you become a user. Their Technical Support services has been down for a week. So I just sent an email to the listed email address for Acer-Thailand. Knowing Thailand as I do, there will be a response in a week or two or not at all. All of this to try to get a serial or SND number validated so I can get some answers as to what I should do since this machine did not come with any Acer e-recovery software. It didn't come with any Acer software at all. The hidden partition is there but the software isn't. That's my perplexing problem!

Oops... here's an update: The email I sent to acercare@acer.co.th just came as "undeliverable". It was the contact address posted on the site. Hoops and hoops!
