I bought this Acer 8943G about a month ago. Even the very first day I had problems with the wireless dropping and random BSoD. After disabling the wireless driver the BSoD problem stopped. Now, about a month later, the screen is malfunctioning :(

I made this video in order to inform other people about the problems with this model. It might be a problem that all 8943G shares because there's plenty of people that have experienced similar WiFi problems.

I don't know if the screen problem is just on selected 8943G or a problem with the entire series. If someone else have the same problem with this model I'd really apprechiate if they'd let me know. I'm want to return this computer - and the more evidence I have that points towards an already existing problem when I bought it - the better my chances are to get my money back.

  • to fix the wireless, all you need to do is get a wireless card from a 5735z and cut the green circuit board to make it fit.. problem solved i have never had this problem since

  • Too bad to see you were having issues on such an awesome computer! Looks like your screen ribbon was either loose of faulty. Did this get addresses by the seller? Also the wireless is an admitted issue on these machines, but is very easily fixed. This is all worth doing for a computer that packs such an awesome punch!

  • Open it up check the connection to the screen,

  • It's possessed, that's all. Just throw a glass of holy water on it (at least 8 ounces), pray a little bit, and it'll be good as new in the morning. :D

  • u know u could get it fixed for free on new egg u retard

  • I got the same acer.. But mine won't load up!! I need serious help.. It does switch on but all it shows is : windows error recovery!!

  • I had this randomly and all i did was pressed the powersave button and it went back to normal

  • I have the same model for over a year now, my Acer works perfect, also WiFi.

  • dont know how widespread this problem is but it could be just a bad egg. Try exchanging for another and if that one fails get a refund.

  • I'm guessing the the screen problem is something to do with the dual video option.. update all drivers.. check the switch that selects which video card? iv just ordered one of these yesterday.... for £698 which was a steal!! I'm giving it a complete check up as soon as It comes.. thanks for the heads up
