A friend is having Acer laptop computer problems?
So one of my friends has an acer laptop, i forget what kind, and she told me that as soon as she plugs it in for charge the Wifi card stops working. Is this a common thing with Acer Laptops? Or is it just another problem? Can you help me out so I can help my friend?

This problem cannot be diagnosed remotely, a certified technician should take a look at it.

Acer are rubbish You get a working one and its great but if it breaks they can be a nightmare What model has she got i would recommend reloading all the drivers http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/downloads.html go to here find her model then download the drivers for her model and operating system if this still doesn't work then take it to a computer shop for diagnostics i would imagine that the motherboards power controller is overloading the wifi card and stopping it from working

Check the power options. On my Acer Aspire 5720Z if I unplug it from the mains it will reduce any un-necessary power consumption i.e. dimmed screen, HD's spin down, and the WiFi is shut off. This doesn't happen when I plug it in though.

yeah take it to someone who will fix that that happened to my teachers computer and it was fixed in no time!

The wi-fi card shouldn't stop working just because she plugs in the charger. This has never happened to me on my laptop, so I am going to guess that she has maybe a loose connection somewhere that shows itself when she plugs in the charger. Maybe her wi-fi card isn't plugged in solidly or something is loose inside the laptop so that when she plugs in the charger, the movement around the charger socket causes something to open up inside. These are just speculations since I'm not there in front of the laptop to see for myself what's going on.

There is a hardware problem in your friend's computer. The best action to undertake is to take the shop to an Acer warranty or support center. There may be other causes that the center can point out.

I agree with Dan S - I dislike laptops they are fragile and the cost of repairs out weighs the money you spend to buy them. However, being a student or in some professions laptops are needed and I also was lucky enough to get a Mac book laptop for my birthday -Apple is just better when it comes to laptops - and I am a serious PC person. Apple is also better for people who have no computer knowledge and the life of their computer are longer. I also must say that the Apple support staff and tech people are educated and you do not get someone from India (nice people) trying to assist you. I never had any problems with my Acer, which is one of the better laptop - but I sold it when I got my Mac book. Hopefully you have it under warranty - best not to try to fix it yourself just send it in and if possible sell it and get a Mac book!
