ACER ASPIRE 5560G BIOS ISSUE

I bought an Acer Aspire 5560 g yesterday second hand, lappy has worked very well. Has been updated all the drivers was the BIOS. Installation suffered and then restarting the black machine projected. No HARD disk activity no display. Just a solid blue light on front bezel running fan. Connected to the monitor external and still nothing. All Ive read it sounds like watered installed BIOS. Can someone please give me a good step by step on how to reflash the BIOS on this machine using a USB? I have also reset cmos battery and reinstall the RAM.

OK... First of all, Jack Merci for the help. After all else has failed... I decided to try the ram in a laptop, I had laying... around this laptop could not start... therefore true implemented a fix... the simplest tech support mode was what I should have checked in the early stages of the couple. Replaced the ram... and now I write in this forum of the Zombie Lappy... Thanks again Jack, you are tha man!

  • Old Acer Aspire 5538 BIOS Flash?

    I got an Acer Aspire 5538 for quite a while, my mother got to me as a gift. Recently, however, I was playing some good old Halo: THIS when the screen went black. He was still, was not showing anything. He had this whole "glow" you would see if a screen was turned on, but does not display anything. I thought, oh maybe that I was fired for a reason, and the game somehow crashed. I restarted the computer and it starts normally. I decided to play Halo 2, the Collection Master Chief being days of release. The screen is the same question as before, thought itself, well, "just won't work today...". Well. ill just it reboot and play some Xbox 360 ". Sfter that last stop, the computer has been seriously f * ked up. The POST screen wouldn't show it at all, no beeps (unless low battery, battery has been useless for years), nothing. The screen never even turned on at all. The fans were running thin, hard drive worked, CD player was fine. Just nothing put into service. never. Ive had this problem for several weeks now, and ive tried and failed the following:

    -Connect external monitor

    -put the new BIOS files on USB, now Fn + ESC key during power (USB drive does not receive any current until Windows is upward)

    -with the help of other hard drives

    -removal of RAM, HARD drive, battery, etc. for 5 minutes, then re - insert and tries to start.

    -put the files of the BIOS on a blank CD and insert it in the computer during startup

    All the things above have failed, I looked for a tutorial on how to Flash the BIOS, but found nothing. I can't send in for repair, the warranty has expired, and there is no recipt (because it was a GIFT). I guess that the LCD screen was messed up, but when I was just trying to power on & power off the unit for signs of life, once the screen actually came. The hard drive and RAM were both, so I had to stop and put back them in. The unit showed no sign of life other than fully sensitive TouchPad disabler, power button, fans spinning, HDD from hum, etc. There has been no beeps, except when the battery is low.

    Please, someone tell me. What is the problem with my laptop?

    I also can't afford a new one, so please do not suggest that.

    I think you should wait 60 days for version 10 of Windows to see if it can solve the problem.  10 Windows will automatically make sure you have good drivers (course to 99%).

    It is possible that he is in fact a BIOS problem.  But all the advice I would give risk possible to break your computer permanently, and I don't want to do that because there's a pretty good computer (with the exception of windows xp).

    I'm guessing Windows 10 retail copy will be cheap enough to buy.  I can't say with certainty that your computer will be in charge of windows 10, but I think it will be.

    Also, even if it has nothing to do with your current number, you can not simply exchange cpu like this safely without applying new thermal paste.  There are a few videos on youtube from the manufacturers of motherboards that show you how to clean the old thermal paste and apply new thermal paste.  Make sure that the videos that you watch come from a motherboard manufacturer, not some Joe Blow.

    And then if Windows 10 doesn't fix it, you have to decide at that point, if you want to take the risk of bricking messing with the BIOS of your computer permanently.

    I'm sure you know that Windows XP is not supported and that there is a security risk.

    Good luck!

    Edit: Here's an alternative to Windows XP that works well for older computers of XP.

  • I have a DATE TIME / CMOS / BIOS with my Acer Aspire 5742Z problem

    Hello

    Newbie here...

    I have a strange problem with my Acer Aspire 5742Z (UK), which I think may be the BIOS or CMOS area...

    MAIN PROBLEM

    Guard reset BIOS default time (00: 00:00 on 01/01/2009)... OR... a time '' close '' to what it is supposed to be...

    MAIN STEPS IN THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE ISSUE...  WHAT I'VE DONE

    Removed the main battery and then replaced the CMOS battery twice (in the case of a failure)

    Main battery insert it again.

    The clocks of the BIOS (using F2) countless times, but there's rarely / or is correct.

    STRANGENESS...

    During startup in Windows 7, it almost always does not show the same date and time that I entered the BIOS.

    For example, if I go home at 21:35 on August 28, 2014 using F2, when I boot on Windows, the date and time may say August 23, 2014 at 3:25 pm ish...

    POWER OFF

    If I turn it off and turn off and then turn on, restart the time in BIOS is correct... to 21:43 29/08/2014 (that I have record for good measure).

    If I continue, Windows reads now August 23 at 15:32

    ADJUST the WINDOWS TIM E (UK)

    So, then I change the time of Windows Date to Friday, August 29, 2014 21:48.

    JUST FYI: the PARAMETERS of ZONE SCHEDULE are checked and no changes: (UTC), Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London

    PANEL, LANGUAGE AND REGION, English in the United Kingdom, short time 21:48, short Date: 29/08/2014

    GEOGRAPHICAL area: United Kingdom

    now, everything seems correct.

    TURN OFF AGAIN and wait a few minutes.

    YOU turn it back ON, and then press F2 that (this time) shows the BIOS default date and time in 2009

    If I continue in windows without changing the BIOS date and time dafault, Windows now displays as 23:02 31/12/2008

    :-(

    That's all.

    I would really appreciate help fixing this problem that makes me nuts!

    Thanks in advance!

    ...   Just in case anyone reads this...

    I just updated my BIOS for the next issue, and the problem has.

    I guess that maybe the BIOS got corrupted!

    I used the simple approach and no short layout has been involved.  I deliberately did not go for the latest BIOS just in case where he brought new questions and confused the situation.

  • Cannot enter BIOS or Option of Boot to display on my desktop Acer Aspire M3450

    For the last few days I tried to access in the BIOS or The Boot Options screen by pressing the keys with " DEL " for BIOS and ' F12 ' to The Boot Options screen. Same pressing down both keys on my keyboard and switch to normal startup with Windows 10 logo screen and then type password. I'm sure you know that this office is not supported for parameters of the UEFI. I tried with Settings\Update and Security-Advanced Options- then have 6 names on the double column , but I'm not sure that one to take to solve the problem. Here are the 6 names below:

    System restore

    System Image recovery

    Startup Repair

    Command prompt

    Startup parameters

    Go back to the previous version

    Everything what I wan tis to solve two things by pressing the ekys for BIOS and the Boot Options screen. That's all that I need it. Or I need to reinstall the entire disk operating system Microsoft Windows 10 Home Premium 64?   Either way, my computer's desktop Acer Aspire M3450 game.

    Thank you

    John

    It's a good thing I do not get out the my desktop's CMOS battery. Someone I know told me I 'Try to change the keyboard' Guess - it works now. The USB keyboard that I just bought does not work so I went back to the wireless keyboard that I used all the time. So now my problem is solved.

    Can I ask a question - why doesn't the USB keyboard support to accept that I press the key after the reboot for BIOS or Boot Display Options? Hope that someone here in this forum will answer for that.

    Thank you

  • Acer Aspire V3 772 G BIOS grayed out

    Hello
    I have a laptop Acer Aspire V3 (model G 772-9643), Acer sent me the recovery disks for. The first two steps they registered on the included sheet was to insert the disc labeled "System drive", then reboot and press F12 to get into the boot menu.

    When F12 has not worked for me, I went into the BIOS with F2 and discovered that F12 Boot has been disabled. I tried to go down with the arrow, but couldn't. All the options are greyed out, even on the other sections in the menu of the BIOS. Time and date system were virtually the only things not greyed out. Until I have enable F12 I can not change the order of boot on CD/DVD and cannot start the process of recovery with Acer discs, so I'm completely stuck now.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's urgent because I really need this laptop for the school that has already started. The laptop is very expensive, it is important that I try to repair rather than buy a new one.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    If you already save and exit the BIOS, enter the BIOS again and check if the options are still grayed out.

  • The Acer Aspire BIOS recovery procedure

    I ran BIOS update program accidentally in my Acer Aspire desktop on windows 10 PC, the program began suddenly and run in the DOS window, then it crashes before finishing, don't know what stage was when crashed on the BSOD, which needed PC to restart to the no reboot No Acer logo, black screen and PC beeps a long short beeps, tried to boot from USB but as long as the screen is black, I can't do anything, only to become recurring beeps.

    You don't know how to recover the BIOS, if someone had this problem with the BIOS and manage to recover the BIOS, I very much appreciate their help on what to do.

    Thank you

    Hi, thanks for the information and the link that I found very useful and informative, to find the good BIOS I couldn't find the option to select the operating system, the operating system is required to download the drivers only. I don't know how to deal with that and if the OS is or is not required when BIOS downloding.

    I also found some information in the user manual on the version of the BIOS and how to recover the BIOS on page 25 failure, but it is unclear what BIOS to use the original during the expedition or the latest version or the other between two release dates?

    What is meant by the wrong BIOS is specific, bad model, or an incorrect date?

    Thank you.

    I look forward to hear from you.

  • ACER ASPIRE 471 - E1: UPDATE THE BIOS CRASH

    HELLO, I NEED HELP ON THIS.

    I WAS updating THE BIOS ACER ASPIRE E1 - 471 VERSION 2.11 to 2.18 BUT GOT IN FAILURE, WITHOUT NORMAL MORE to IGNITE.

    WHEN UPDATING THE FILE ORIGINAL WITH THE HELP OF THE ACER SUPPORT WEB SITE, RESTART THE LAPTOP TO WINDOWS POWER ON A BACK PAGE AND DISPLAY IT ON THE SCREEN...

    UPTATING:

    TRUE BIOS VERSION: ZQS 2.11

    NEW VERSION OF BIOS: ZQS 2.18

    PROGRESS...: 0% AND SCOPE WITH A 100% SUCCESS

    AFTER THIS, THE LAPTOP REBOOT AGAIN AND POWER BLUE LED LIGHTS UP BUT NO SCREEN...

    AT THE START OF THE LAPTOP, HARD DRIVE MAKING NOISE OF POWER ON AND.

    NO SCREEN, THE COMPUTER PHONE IS FREEZE.

    ON THE BACK THE INFORMATION OF THIS LAPTOP, THE BOOK SAYS:

    Aspire E1-471-6683

    MODEL NO.: ZQT

    .....

    SNIDS: 31300078979

    So Original BIOS was ZQS but the model said ZQT?

    I have not found a repair for this model, so cannot move too much by myself.

    I found some instructions on the use of USB with the FCN + ESC + Power Buttom combo...

    The use of files with. FD extension inside the USB key.

    I tried 1 for the test and the thing happens as users said.

    Power Led flashes, USB Stick will blink for a few seconds, and then restart laptop.

    BUT STILL FREZZY.

    I think I use the wrog. FD file.

    ACER support website has none. This model in the FD file (or any other type of file, hit. EXE, a)

    You can with ACER Support me?

    Thanks, it is a client of the portable computer of mine, I'm kind of scared at the moment.

    OK, thanks for the reply.

    I got the sollution and will share with you now.

    [edited to conform to the guidelines]

    YOU WILL NEED TO FORMAT A USB STICK WITH FAT (16) PARTITION STYLE.

    -------

    NOW, THE SECRET OF. FD FILE

    YOU MUST PUT IN THE USB THIS FILE WITH THE EXTENSION. FD, BUT THE ACER DOWNLOAD SITE IS ENOUGH. EXE TO THE INSTALLATION, SO YOU GO ON ANOTHER COMPUTER (INCOMPATIBLE WITH ASPIRE E1 VERSION) AND RUN THE FILE...

    YOU RECEIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE, BUT NOT CLICK NOW ON ANY BUTTON.

    NOW, OPEN WINDOWS EXPLORER AND GO TO C:\USERS\(USER ACCOUNT)\AppData\Local\temp\7zS4F0C.tmp

    INSIDE THIS FOLDER, YOU CAN GET THE ST. FD FILE (PERHAPS ZQS.) FD)

    THAT COPY ON USB KEY AND CLOSE THE ERROR MESSAGE. (FOLDER WILL DISAPEAR AFTER THAT)

    WITH THE FILE INSIDE OF THE SECONDARY KEY, FOLLOW THE MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS.

    BASICALLY:

    Steps for the USB storage device BIOS recovery

    To create a crisis USB key, perform the following steps:
    1. format the USB storage drive using the Quick Format option.
    2. save the ROM file (filename: ZQS.fd) in the root directory of the USB storage device. Make sure that there are no other file BIOS stored in the same directory.
    3. plug the USB storage on USB device.
    4. press the button, then connect power cable.
    5. the power button flashes once.
    6. press the Power button to start the CRISIS of the system mode.
    7. when the CRISIS is over, the system auto restarts with a possible BIOS.

    AFTER THAT

    8. update the latest BIOS version for this machine of normal BIOS flashing process.

    YOU MAY HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM LIKE ME, AFTER RECOVERING FROM CRISIS, BIOS NOW SEE THE ANY HARD DISK, SO YOU MUST UPDATE THE BIOS AGAIN WITH THE HELP OF ANOTHER TOOL LIKE HIRENSBOOT HELP FIXITURE MINI_XP.

    BUT IT IS ANOTHER CONVERSATION.

    THANKS FELLOWS.

  • Updating BIOS for Acer Aspire 3000 / battery problems

    So I had a couple of Acer Aspire 3000 who were not working and got one to work...

    But it seems that I am having some problems when the battery is in it - and otherwise fine without him.
    Excessively long Shut Downs that go to the continuous reboots / Touchpad problems, gel, etc.

    Says the battery until it goes to @ 7-8%.  Then the battery does not charge.

    When the power adapter is disconnected - the battery is charge?

    Given that these laptops have been sitting around for a couple / few years... and have been given to me... I do not deny the possibility that the battery is not good. And there was only 1 battery using 2 laptops.

    After that she has charged at 7-8% - I unplugged it the adapter - and it ran for @ 20 min.  and said: '1 HR 30 min remaining"until she was cut.

    I also tried tried the - remove battery unplug adapter and hold the power button for 2 min method - then installed battery and adapter - but nothing helped...

    (On a side - note, which is probably not related - my wifi doesn't seem to be working - even though it appears, it does nothing wrong in. Device Manager - and runs a diagnosis does not help...) I know there are wireless networks but none does not appear! Broadcom 802. 11 g)

    In any case - I saw a post on a different site-say an UPDATE of the BIOS could possibly solve the problem of battery - (wifi may be too)...

    Given that I've NEVER DONE an UPDATE to BIOS; I'll ask NICELY, please walk me but this... with as little as ACKRONYNS and GEEK TALK as Possible (respectfully).  I had heard of this sort of thing - to download the update of the Bios... and I think it can be put on a Falsh player - but is a ZIP and should she be EXTACTED - which I'm not too big? Then "Select (something)? and then maybe restart... So now, I'm willing to give it a try - with some help and input.  THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE!  a link for the download and the proper BIOS UPDATE would be a big departure... - I guesss that goes without saying.

    So, here are some features of the information system: (I hope there enough, but please let me know if you need more)

    3 to 32 of the latest BIOS availabel

    http://global-download.Acer.com/GDFiles/BIOS/BIOS/BIOS_3A32.zip?acerid=633643243476341057&STEP1=note...
