BEWARE ACER ASPIRE ONE AO531 (aka ZG8) 3G FRAUD DO NOT GET CHEATED

9 Comments

I just purchased an ACER AO531 also known as the ZG8. Sorry about video quality, old computer not healthy. In the store I made my purchase decision based on the label that indicated 3G was included inside. I read the instructions and found the SIM card slot behind the battery. BUT there is no 3G transmitter in the card slot to accept the SIM. Even worse, if you put a sim card in the slot you lose it inside the casing. And if that is not all, one dead pixel on the screen from day 1. So far no luck with ACRAP customer service.

    So the fact that I bought this computer because it had 3G when it doesn’t is not Acer’s problem?
    I think that is FRAUD.

    Part 2:
    This configuration does NOT have integrated 3G, however customers are reporting that it is advertised as having it in the store.

    To make matters worse the sim card slot is apparently not blocked off like in the A series Aspire Ones, so that if sim card is inserted it will be floating around loose inside the casing because the 3G card is not there.
    If purchased elsewhere please contact acer support in the country you purchased it from.

    John Lewis stores are currently the exclusive supplier for the new aspire One 531, the model they are selling is part number LU.S750B.048
