    Searched the forums for a similar request but didn't find one before posting this.

    Acer Aspire One AOA150 currently has BIOS Rev. 3310. Tried using this patched BIOS:

    Acer Aspire One AOA150 ver. 3310 : Insyde
    slic=Acer, mod Orbiting234, tested Orbiting234
    h t t p://w w w . b o x . n e t/shared/2kpstrdqbd

    Flas**t.exe fails with no error message. Only thing I can think of is that it won't install modded 3310 over official Rev. 3310. I looked at flas**t to see if it had a force option, but don't see one. Tried to install an older BIOS, so I could then upgrade to the modded Rev. 3310, but that also failed. Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    OK, I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was trying to run flas**t.exe from within Windows. I created a bootable USB stick and booted in Win 98, then ran the appropriate batch file. I was able to flash my BIOS to the latest version with SLIC 2.1! Woohoo! Thanks to Orbiting234 for this great mod. :) Next step, OEM activation and no more loader!

    Tried this BIOS with dell install media (all I have at the moment) - is there a mod of this bios that will accept dell keys?

    Thanks, from a bios n00b
