UPDATE 11/12/13: eMachines Extends Cash Option Deadline for Class Action Settlement
UPDATE: A federal court approved the eMachines Computer Class Action Lawsuit Settlement at the Final Approval Hearing. Class Members have until July 15, 2013 to file a claim. Distribution of the Settlement Awards will be made in the fall of 2013. See how to file a claim for the eMachines Computer Settlement.
Â
A proposed class action lawsuit settlement has been reached over allegations eMachines sold defective computers. If you purchased an eMachines computer, you may be entitled to a replacement computer, accessories or $62.50 in cash if the class action settlement is approved.
The eMachines settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit, titled Stroud v. eMachines Inc., that alleges the defendants sold computers with a defective part that could cause the loss or corruption of data written to, or read from, a floppy disk. eMachines denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the litigation.
Class Members of the eMachines computer class action settlement include anyone who purchased the following computers from eMachines or an eMachines authorized reseller (a retail store) in the United States on or after December 31, 1997:
Class Members have the option to receive a replacement computer and/or accessories or a cash payment. Class Members who complete and submit a valid claim form and Proof of Purchase will receive a redemption certificate with a face value of $365 that can be used toward an Acer, Gateway, or eMachines replacement computer and/or accessories or be exchanged for $62.50 cash.
Regardless of which benefit you choose, you will not be required to return your original computer.
The only way to receive benefits from the eMachines class action settlement is to submit a claim form postmarked by July 15, 2013.
A Final Fairness Hearing is scheduled for March 25, 2013.

Varick–>who are you asking to check for your name? No one here will answer you. I’m starting to think some of these posts are fake…people can’t be that stupid to leave personal info on this website and think that someone will actually answer them personally by calling them at home or emailing them, can they? In fact, I think most of the posts below are phoney…just starting to catch on, I am. I quit. (EDITOR’S NOTE – WE TRY TO DELETE POSTS WE KNOW ARE PHONY OR THAT CONTAIN PERSONAL INFORMATION. VIEWERS SHOULD NEVER POST THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION ON TOP CLASS ACTIONS. UNFORTUNATELY WE RECEIVE THOUSANDS OF VISITORS PER DAY AND CAN’T STOP EVERY ONE. TOP CLASS ACTIONS IS NOT A SETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATOR AND DOES NOT PROCESS CLAIMS.)

I mailed my claim and still have not received a Returned Goods Credit Certificate. Could you please check to see if my name is on the list & when I might receive my certificate. Thank You Varick
Nice spelling, Doreen. I’ll email you pronto!
I never get through your code. please email or call me if by some miricle this gets through. It so annoying not being able to see the dang thing!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve tried at least 10 times.
Dear Cheryl Brooks,
Who do you expect to actually contact to from this forum? I am amazed at the size of your balls in that you exposed such private information about yourself on a chat forum on a website. Ha!
I submitted the required information on the official form sent to me in a timely manner. I’ve received no response at all. I just moved to: 165 Hurst Dr. Ephrata, PA 17522 and email is also new (above) cbrooks@ephratarehab.org Please let me know how to get my voucher for another computer that works! My Emachine hasn’t worked right since shortly after purchase! No-one did a thing! Looking forward to someone’s response, PLEASE!
Sincerely Disappointed!

what can i do if emachine refuses to settle my claim? they contacted me and told me i was entitled to two computers or cash settlement i sent back a copy of my driver license month before the deadline. i would think they are guilty of contempt of court
I mailed my claims for two vouchers back in march, but still have not received any certificates.
This is a chat forum, Linda. No one is going to answer you other than maybe someone like me.
