Acer Repair Request -- how to follow up for Predator Triton 300 SE

Chris747

Can anyone here tell me how to follow up with Acer on a "Repair my Acer" request?

My Predator Triton 300 SE is out of warranty, and yesterday morning I went onto Acer's web site and found a "Repair my Acer" link where (supposedly) I could submit a request for repair. I was given a Reference Number and was told that "An Acer Representative will review your case and will be in contact with you shortly." I got no email confirming the request, and so far I have heard nothing back from Acer either by phone or email.

If I go to the site and try to open another case, I get a message saying that a request is already open and that I should contact Acer for further assistance — but no contact information is given.

I tried calling Acer, and because my system is out of warranty I was routed to the third-party support organization, who told me that they had no knowledge of the Reference Number for my case, and that if I wanted to send the unit in for repair it would cost $999.99 — more than the price of a new unit.

Something is wrong here. Apparently Acer has a group that handles repair requests, and it's different from their third-party provider. But I can't find any way to contact that group.

Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, contact Acer Services in your country directly for laptops out of warranty, if you live near an Acer Service shop best go there directly, they operate on a first-come, first-served basis (no appointments). You can find the Acer Service points in your country online.

Thanks, @Puraw — but can you tell me how to contact Acer Services in the United States, or how to find an Acer Service shop? I can find no resources on the Acer web site or elsewhere that give me contact information or locations.

Out of warranty repairs are exclusively done by the many Acer endorsed repair shops in the Philippines (where I live), that will be same in the states, google "find an Acer endorsed repair shop near me" or check with an Acer retailer where you live. Alternatively contact a reputable PC repair shop if they repair Predator Triton 300 laptops.
