If you are one of the customers who purchased an Aspire Laptop which where manufactured before September 15 then you might be probably experiencing some overheat problems with your laptop.  Affected units involve aspire series specifically AS3410, AS3810T, AS3810TG, AS3810TZ and AS3810TZG. Acer made a site to check if your laptop is one of the defective ones which you can check here. Here’s the voluntary safety recall from the said site.

Dear valued Acer Customer,

It has come to our attention that certain Acer Aspire Notebooks may overheat under specific conditions. Acer is therefore voluntarily instituting a safety recall for these products.

The affected units are Acer Aspire models AS3410, AS3810T, AS3810TG, AS3810TZ and AS3810TZG manufactured prior to September 15, 2009. In the affected units the microphone cable may overheat when extreme pressure is applied repeatedly to the left palm rest. As a result, the unitҳ 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.
