Beitrag: <blockquote data-quote="Kailia" data-source="post: 300804" data-attributes="member: 52146">AW: Help! Acer 8950G bios update failureOK, I found it.Reading about lots of other machines with similar BIOSes, I found that they use an ".FD" file for the "crisis" bios recovery, but the problem is finding the right name for the file.Then I found I could "unpack" the Windows bios program (not the Dos one, he he he) using WinRAR, and in there I saw the correct filename is ZYF.fd for my machine.I put that file (straight from the unpacked windows bios) to a fat-formatted USB stick, unplugged the power from the broken machine, removed the battery, inserted the stick, pressed FN + ESC from then on all the time; then inserted the AC power, pressed power on, and after about 30 seconds or a minute, I noticed it started actually reading the stick (as opposed to the stick's light being just on or off all the time, which happened as long as I was using an incorrect filename).After another minute or so, the machine started beeping about once per second, which went on for a few minutes, then it restarted.... FIXED !!!!!Now I'm off to find how to flash a more recent BIOS on my machine from Dos... this is the second time this happens to me !! It happened last year on my Acer 8940 as well ! Goddamn Acer, get Windows flashing to work properly, OR just create a user-friendly "make a bootable dos usb stick" program for us that immediatly creates a complete bootable usb stick...</blockquote>
