I bought the Acer Helios 300(PH315-51) last year from Flipkart on(11-10-2018) and the warranty is valid till (10-10-2019).  (From INDIA)
I want to know is it worth extending the warranty for 2yrs?
The cost is around Rs.13,000 (2 yrs)
Or should I save the money to buy led panel or keyboard or hinges (i.e any of the parts which have major chance of getting damaged in 2yrs) by myself?

    ankkol2011 well unfortunately every country has their own different warranty rules according to their own laws for ex in US its 2 years carry in (for older models the new 2019 changed to only 1 year recently as far as im aware) in UK its only 1 year ITW

    And you are completely correct the major warranty issues i had seen so far are all with India service centers because Acer doesnt have their own centers its all sub contracted by private companies and they tend to do what they want at their own way the best action when this happens and they refuse it with excuses its to keep pushing it to the highest escalation possible

    Wait for it to complete. You should have taken the extended warranty right when you had bought the PC. You can also contact Acer support and ask them why is the price so much high.

    @XdxD the extended warranty has to be taken until up to 1 month left of the normal warranty to expire if the normal warranty period expires before taken extended warranty its not possible to extend it anymore and the prices differ from country to country also my advice is to always get it directly from acer do not go through third parties anyway im just clarifying to whoever would be interested in acquiring it 😊

    After going through the Terms And Conditions of the Extended Warranty, I don't find any reason why should I buy the extended warranty, bcz it's not covering anything which is likely to get damaged in the period of 2 yrs...
    Have a look https://www.shopacer.co.in/Warranty/ShopAcer_AllInOne_Registration.aspx


    Not covering the HINGES,LCD or KEYBOARD,
    and MotherBoard is only repaired if its due to electric failure BUT that is also not fully true bcz the warranty is also void if there is any damage due to improper electric supply. (3.d)


    I think the warranty is only valid when the laptop is working in ideal condition...

    What are your thoughts guys??

    How do expect the mother board to get damaged if everything is fine. 
    If the mother booard burns due to overheating, its not covered due to physical damage,

    If the mother board damages due to a single fault electric supply ,its not covered.
    (And in day to day when we go any where or any place everytime checking the powersupply is not possible.)

    Now apart from these how else would u think the mother board could get damage.

    ankkol2011 i have seen many faulty gpu's (due to the mass produce) and burned mobos getting replaced under warranty technically the normal procedure is if they cant find the fault they will always replace the mobo just to save time of locating the fault and in the report they might send you or not will only come hardware failure but not specifying what exactly most of the times

    Thanks for mentioning that burned Mobos are replaced but according to the terms mentioned in the warranty, its clearly mentioned any burned ports are not covered in the warranty. Checkpoint (5.e)


    And its already been 1 year for my laptop and now if the mobo gets damaged it will surely be due to any of the burned ports and not the mobo in itself.

    And if the mobo would have been faulty it wouldn't have last till one year.

    p.s: all these are just my opinion. 
    And in INDIA most of the service centres just don't want people to redeem the warranty they will find terms and conditions by which they could make the warranty null and void.

    How do expect the mother board to get damaged if everything is fine. 
    If the mother booard burns due to overheating, its not covered due to physical damage,

    If the mother board damages due to a single fault electric supply ,its not covered.
    (And in day to day when we go any where or any place everytime checking the powersupply is not possible.)

    Now apart from these how else would u think the mother board could get damage.
    Well I know I am kinda late to this conversation but my motherboard has failed on me twice (and it's just been 11 months since I purchased the product). They did replace my motherboard (4 times bc 2 of the replacements were defective themselves) but the point is when it comes to laptops it's a gamble. Anything can fail any time irrespective of how you use it. And just putting it across, even though Acer's service is BS it's better to have your laptop insured than having to spend loads on it later. Now I am gonna have to extend my warranty soon.

    P.S I have a helios 300 (2019)
