More bad
news for Acer Timeline owners. Following a limited recall last October, the outfit is now recalling 22,000 13-inch Timeline notebooks sold in the US.

It seems that a microphone under the palmrest can short circuit, causing overheating and damage to other components. So far three Timelines have met their maker due to the fault. Remember the October recall? Well, it was prompted by a very, very similar fault.

Around 22,000 Timelines shipped between June and October are affected. The recall affects AS3410, AS3410T, AS3810T, AS3810TG, AS3810TZ and AS3810TZG models, but not all of them feature the fault.

In case you're one of the unlucky ones, check
