(Get the code!)
This is what I also tried to do, but with less luck. Following some forum threads, I downloaded the lastest bios updater from the Acer website itself, which contains a program by a company called InsydeBios, to be launched from Windows or from DOS. I launched the Windows executabe (from Windows Vista) and now I have no laptop anymore.
My BIOS became completely corrupted so that it didn't even react to the 'boot' button or anything, it was like laptop-shaped stone. And I say "didn't" and "was" because I split it all into pieces trying to find the BIOS chip and replace it -but I can't find it! Maybe this is related to the so "innovative" design of that InsydeBios thing that may not exactly be a BIOS chip but I don't understand exactly what it is -and what to do?
Well, if someone can help with this, it would be great. By now, I'll throw two warnings I should have followed:
BE VERY CAREFUL and DON'T FLASH YOUR BIOS FROM WINDOWS.
