Avoid ACER
4810T - Complaint

UK -- I strongly advise anyone not to buy an Acer laptop. I bought one and I could not get any support when it broke down because they would not help you unless they [know] your laptop ID number. The laptop ID number is written on a paper sticker (!!!!) under the laptop (!!!!!) and gets wiped out after 6-7 months

I agree the location for the information is poorly placed. With the documentation provided when you purchase the device you could gain the information unless it is lost. Additionally, most new computers, when first turned on, have a preinstalled option that directs you to the manufacturers website to register the device. It sounds as if you may not have elected to register if the option was available. Sorry for your problem, you may be left only with the option of going to a local repair service.

I know that with Dell you can also not get service w/o the ID. Mine was wiped out a long time ago.
An alternative to not buying an ACER is to write the ID down and put it in a safe place - very quick and easy to do if you know ahead of time that you need it.
