Acer support is the biggest joke in the history of any product ever. The serial number is worn down on the sticker of my chromebook and there is no way to find it, and no way to contact support without it. I can't call them, they won't accept e-mails, and I cannot chat with them. How can I get in touch with them to repair my computer that is still under warranty?

    Due to the worst support in history, I cannot get ahold of acer. I have a chromebook and the battery has stopped working. It will not work unless plugged in. It is within the factory warranty, but the serial number sticker is worn down and I cannot talk to anyone without it. How can I talk to this horrible pathetic excuse for support?

    sorry for your experience with Acer. Try to check the receipt for the serial number or the SNID. Try to check the box in which you got the chromebook for the serial number or SNID.
    You can also try this troubleshooting step to fix it.
    1. Turn off your Chromebook.
    2. Press and hold Refresh Refresh + tap Power Shut down for 30 seconds.
    To contact Acer support check the below link

  • Do you still have the chromebook cardboard box? The cardboard box in which the device came includes the partnumber, the snid, and the exact model of the device.

    how does this help at all? I don't have the receipt from amazon, and I don't have the box. How can a company be this poorly run that they don't offer customer support? click the link you posted, and contact support without a serial number, then report how you did it.

    No. I did not keep the box for 8 months
  • Have you downloaded the identify card app from the google store?

    i have tried the alt-v method, and it says my sn is not valid
  • Do you remember what the model name was? Example an515-51-75kz. Check here too:
    1. Hold the following keys on the keyboard (Esc + refresh + power) to start the wipe process
    1. Hit (Ctrl + D) on the recovery screen (yellow exclamation mark)
    1. Hit (Enter) on the screen that states: “to turn OS verification OFF, press enter. Your system will…”
    1. On the next screen which has the red exclamation mark, let the system proceed to the next screen automatically. DO NOT HIT SPACEBAR
    1. Then, on the next screen which states: “The device owner has disabled developer mode for this device…” again, let the system reboot automatically
    1. When the chromebook restarts you will be at the screen that states: choose your language and network, you don’t need to fill this out just hit (ALT + V) and the serial number will display in the top right corner of the screen.

    Couldn't agree more. Tried to contact support several times today, call centre was chaotic, couldn't hear the agent above the din, when finally heard I could not understand what they were saying and they couldn't understand me. After a totally useless discussion they put the phone down on me! Been calling the warranty support number all day but it just cuts off. How do we get help under warranty?
