    I have been looking for a tool to flash modded bios for Acer v5-573p. With the Insyde utility I get the error "It only supports to flash secure bios on current platform. The image to be updated is not a secure BIOS." Any help please.

    Thanks

    @Badawa

    Modded bios on current Acer laptops can only be flashed via recovery mode or external programmer.

    Thank you Tito for the tip. I decided to take the plunge, formatted a small capacity usb stick with fat and copied ZRQ.fd (the modified bios). Removed 20 screws and the base, disconnected the battery, used fn+esc to then power, the usb light flashed occasionally and a minute or two later laptop shut down. I thought success but testing shows it didn't flash. Mod was done by Coderush himself so I am sure it has to have the power management mod in it. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

    This section is for Tools, or asking Tools, not for mod help.
