General Comments

All users of the Packard Bell iPower 5000 series notebook laptop computers should be aware of what appears to be an inherent fault on the motherboard. After a few years, or maybe sooner, the bottom of the laptop will overheat causing possible battery failure, and graphics card failure. The only recourse for this is a very expensive replacement of the motherboard. Costing £350 this will come with only a 3 month warranty, and may fail again as mine did.
