[retroremakes]

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued recalls on Acer's AS3410, AS3410T, AS3810T, AS3810TG, AS3810TZ, and AS3810TZG laptops, all 13.3" models, due to bad internal wiring of the microphone. Apparently three incidents of short circuiting have been reported, causing the laptop's plastic cases to melt.
