 Enjoy replacing motherboards?? December 21, 2007
Read the press on this machine its pathetic. Mine died after 18 months (apparently a LONG time for this machine). Unless you enjoy replacing mother boards every year or enjoy getting involved in Class Actions such as the one being taken against the manufacturer because of this problem don't even consider - its ****
There's a reason it's the cheapest one out there October 27, 2007
The motherboard on my eMachines T6420 died after about eighteen months, and doing some very belated research I'm finding that that's better than average. Google for T6420 motherboard and you'll see what I'm talking about.
During its short life the computer's CD/DVD drive would regularly open and close itself, and there was a period where it would restart itself and not always want to come back on though this problem mysteriously went away. Putting the GTA: San Andreas DVD-ROM in the drive always resulted in the computer resetting itself.
Spend a little more and get a quality computer. I was about to wish fiscal death on the company, but I see now that Gateway bought eMachines two months prior to my writing this. If they improve quality control, great; I'm waiting several years before purchasing anything with the name eMachines remotely comes into consideration. Frankly, I feel like I bought a Hyundai Excel or Scoupe and I'll need to see hard evidence that Gateway/eMachines is making Elantras and Sonatas before shelling out for one again.
Do not buy this junk June 11, 2007

I bought a 6420 and experienced multiple problems with the motherboard. I had to send it in for service 3 separate times before it was replaced. Immediately the unit would power up dead 25% of the time. They kept trying to just re-brain the hard drive with a new image and saying they could not replicate it. I would go without the computer for 2 weeks at a time for them to do this. Finally they fixed it by replacing the motherboard and all was well until after the warranty ran out. The replacement motherboard failed completely (the prior problem caused it to fail to boot with the fan running at full speed only sometimes). Now it won't boot at all.
These PCs are really junk. My parents have an Emachine too. I was fond of it, but it failed too after 1 year of use. The motherboard died as well. I don't think I'll buy another one from them. They are cheap, but replacing a PC because it dies every year is not cheap.
Buyer beware.
Inexplicably Dead at 14 months June 2, 2007

Happily working from home one sunny afternoon on my eMachines T6420, I left it running as I took my son to a doctor's appointment. I returned an hour and a half later to a deadMachine. My monitor would not come out of sleep mode and I tried a different monitor with same result. Unplugged everything, replugged everything ... no luck. Took the computer in to work, hoping the IT guys could figure it out: hoping for something as simple as a video card . But no, IT guys said it could be anything: main board, video card, power supply and that, most likely, it would be more expensive to find and fix the problem than to buy a whole new computer.
Argh! I'd call eMachines support, but I'm two months past the one-year warranty and know I won't get anywhere.
I researched eMachines before purchasing and found they had good ratings for a budget PC. But after this, and after having the DVD/CD drive also burn out a few months ago, I cannot recommend eMachines to anyone. I saved up for months for this computer and will not be able to replace it for some time.
Emachines won't support their bad product May 3, 2007

My T6420 stopped booting up. Emachines tech support said the motherboard was bad. This is 6 months after the 1 year warranty expired. They told me to call the Emachines replacement parts phone number. Emachines parts department said they do not offer a replacement motherboard.
