Well I bought this ACER Aspire E1-513-4624 off eBay for a steal(I think),135.00$,upon receiving the laptop I checked the manufacturing date 2013/01/09 WOW also windows 8 and recovery partition in tact.The only thing wrong was the screen needed replacing total cost of replacement screen 41.00$+shipping did it myself of course. wanted a bit more speed and found a 1000gb SSHD and through that in and reformatted using the recovery management disk now the thing is zipping along just fine now looking into getting a faster CPU looking at the i5-2450m if anyone knows has any info on changing the CPU  would be helpful  ,but I was also wondering if it would still qualify for ACER warrantee  cause i bought it from eBay

Offhand I wouldn't think so.  But ask Acer and see if you can register it. For any warranty work, Acer would be expecting the machine that they originally manufactured and sold.  They might get fussy when a machine with replaced innards shows up.

Ask yourself, if you were a manufacturer of a product that had had significant replacements using  non-original parts, would you be willing to honour a warranty?

Well did it changed me Intel Pentium B960 2.2GHz to a Intel Core i5-2450M on my Acer Aspire E1-531-4624 with no problems so far and the mother bord sees the full CPU

Leho is right, no they will not cover you. They don't honor purchase dates from ebay, but they will continue the warranty period from the previous owner. Assuming you bought it and it was never registered you would need to contact the seller and ask them to send you their receipt. Otherwise your warranty period starts on the date the unit was manufactured. Having changed out all of those parts however, I can tell you 100% that Acer will not cover your unit regarless of what goes wrong with it, be it factory original hardware that failed or not.
