Hey there guys,
Got a new Acer Aspire 5535 for Xmas, and ever since ive had problems with it.
One of the problems is that a USB device will not be recognized unless I turn my laptop on with the USB device attached. Otherwise it jsut isnt recognized under 'My Computer', nor does the device show any recognition itself. However this isnt always the case, every now and then USB deviced will work STRAIGHT away when I plug them in. Its a massive pain in the *censored* when they dont work THOUGH, especially with my iPod.
A similar issue is with Hibernation, Restart, Shut Down etc etc. Sometimes it will work, and other times it wont. If it doesn't work itll just HANG at the 'Windows is Shutting Down' screen, and the CPU light will flash, and the WLAN light will flash, but less frequently.
Funnily enough I think there is a relationship with the USB ports issue, as when one seems to be working the other will, but when one doesn't, nor will the other.
Its Vista with SP1, AV etc etc loaded.
By the way for the record, I cant stand Vista, and if I had the choice, XP would be loaded onto it in a flash!
Thanks in advance

xxI would contact Acer support regarding these problems. And, if the problems are not resolved, I'd be asking for a replacement. It is under warranty, right?Yup, had it a month.
Do you think its a Harware issue?!

xxBefore concluding it's a hardware problem, I think I would restore the system to it's ORIGINAL configuration from the recovery partition. It has a recovery partition, right? Then, I would follow the advise at http://adrynalyne.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!AB9DE24BE9AF1B9F!303.entry and see where I stand.It does have a recovery partition, yea.
Right mate, thanks for the advvice, ill GIVE it a shot soon.
Thanks
