    I've just had to replace a failed Motherboard in a Acer Aspire 2930 laptop.

    The machine is now running, but has BIOS version 0.13 I want to upgrade to a more modern version as the touchpad isn't working.

    I've tried flashing from windows using both the genuine updates from the acer website, and the modded version from here.

    Using Insydeflash, it gives me a message that 'this BIOS is not for your notebook PC'

    Is there any other way of flashing it, or could this be because I'm using a board that wasn't for UK origin?

    Thanks

    Update - managed to flash it from DOS, it's now on version 1.17 - the blooming touchpad still ain't working though, must be a hardware issue :(
