My dad bought an Acer Aspire One netbook yesterday in Singapore. He brought it to Bangalore, un-boxed it, charged it and then hit the power button. The button lit up and... nothing else happened. No POST, nothing. As it turns out this isn't an unusual problem.
The next step, was of course to take it to the service center, where they informed us it would be at least 48 hours till they had diagnosed the problem, at which point they would advise us how long it would take to repair the system. The engineers estimate was about 3 weeks, because the parts would need to come from Singapore. They flatly refused to replace it.
Not checking the piece when we bought it was probably our second mistake, the first being choosing Acer as a brand. This is why I prefer to stick to Dell & Lenovo. I can confidently say that if something goes wrong that they won't give me a run around.
