TAIPEI, TAIWAN: Due to the issue of overheating, Taiwan-based PC maker Acer has recalled some of its Aspire model laptops form the market. Acer had recently recalled its Predator PC due to overheat issue.

The company issued a voluntary recalling note in a European customer support page, which said, "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 is the villain, which may overheat when extreme pressure is applied repeatedly to the left palm rest. As a result, the unit case may become deformed and the system may malfunction, the company said.

Acer has voluntarily instituted a safety recall program to pro-actively replace the microphone cable in the affected units to eliminate any risk of overheating.
