I bought an 8920G and have had nothing but problems with it. Cost me over $3000AU. A month after warranty, the motherboard blew. New graphics and motherboard $430. It has just blown again. Motherboard price goes up and they no longer make the graphics card. The laptop is screwed. Acer computers are Lemons and I would never buy another one and will let everyone know that their service is crap and their parts are substandard and made by the cheapest bidder.

I had this problem with mine (as did a lot of users of Acer Blu-ray machines in Decembr 08, see http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/topic/acer-arcade-deluxe-not-playing-blu-ray-discs
– turned out to be a faulty Acer Arcade Deluxe update – ran eRecovery and re-installed the factory install of Arcade Deluxe and it’s now working fine.

To answer the 1st question about what software, Acer Arcade Deluxe should be installed to run the Blu-rays or at least CyberLink PowerCinema.

Hi, I have the same problem. My 8920G wont play BLU RAY movies (it has no problem playing full HD format, like the HD demo disc etc).

When I insert the disc it starts playing, but when it reaches the DVD menu i cant go on, all the options are “dead”, exept the ones that that has to do with going back (stop/exit/back etc), they work and have a rollover effect… Also the background animation and music works …

Anyone know what the problem can be?

I purchased the 8920G and love it. One problem, I cant play BLU RAY movies. Do I need certain software like WINDVD to be able to play BLU RAY movies
