I extract the BIOS .exe which reveals the following files: Ding.wav FlsHook.exe FlsHookDll.dll FWUpdLcl.exe InsydeFlash.exe iscflash.dll iscflash.sys iscflashx64.sys xerces-c_2_7.dll I then opened the original .exe with PhoenixTool.exe and the first window that popped up showed: http: //i356.photobucket.com/albums/oo1/Birtybasset/1.jpg Followed by: http: //i356.photobucket.com/albums/oo1/Birtybasset/2.jpg It created a DUMP folder and inside it 797 .ROM files and a folder called BIOS which contained 256 .BIOS files. At this point I'm a little bit stuck!! I understand that I ultimately need either BIN or FD file to place on the root of a USB drive and then boot whilst holding down FN + ESC. Massive thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this. BB
Hello hennot. This is the thread I created on bios-mods.com. Hope this helps. htt p:// ww w. bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-Bricked-my-Acer-Aspire-plesae-help?pid=67624#pid67624 Since I got the Laptop working again after the bios flash I still was not able to resolve an underlying instability issue with the laptop. It would randomly freeze / reboot or sometimes it would not POST and occasionally it would green screen or there would be artefacts on the screen.
