**VERY IMPORTANT**

Yesterday I was browsing through various Acer websites looking at the Service & Support pages and I noticed that on every page no matter what country I looked on there was a message for Acer Aspire Aspire3410(AS3410) or Acer Aspire 3810 (AS3810T or TG or TGZ) owners.

I clicked and discovered that there’s a voluntary safety recall on AS3410, AS3810T, AS3810TG, AS3810TZ and AS3810TZG notebooks manufactured prior to September 15, 2009.

According to the page:

“In the affected units the microphone cable may overheat when extreme pressure is applied repeatedly to the left palm rest. As a result, the unit case may become deformed and the system may malfunction.

Acer has voluntarily instituted a safety recall program to proactively replace the microphone cable in the affected units to eliminate any risk of overheating“.

I strongly advise all owners of these models to visit the SUPPORT page of your local Acer site and see if your laptop is part of this recall.
