No access to the BIOS. Aspire V5 - 571G

Hi Acer community,

the problem is: I can´t enter the BIOS on my laptop, I Don t know what the problem and I now have the idea of what to do now.

What have I done?

I had installed Windows 7 and everything worked fine. So I decided to install Debian GNU/Linux instead. It worked, although I had a few problems with the Wi - Fi connection and the system has not successfully stopped. That s why I wanted to reinstall Windows. In order to boot from the DVD, I have to change the boot order, because Debian always changes its own priority of boot to max - so at this point BIOS still worked! During the installation of Windows 7, I formatted all partitions of HARD drive, created new and BAM! Windows 7 would not installt because he has some problems with the GPT partitions, he said that he could not install on that partition (I tried it all). So I canceled the installation and the inexplicable to the system. Of course now he printed "the operating system not found '. I could not even access BIOS (although it has shown that the normal message 'Press F2...) "installing Windows 7 had trouble finding some drivers, so it has not yet started correctly. The recovery of Acer, I created from Windows 7 (before installing Debian) began, but he was not able to copy the first file and ended. If nothing has worked. However, I could install Debian again, who is now my OS.

Current situation:

Operating system is Debian 7, s work, but I have a lot of problems with it (can't change the brightness of the display, often loses a wifi connection, restarts instantly (!) after stopping)

CAN´t enter the BIOS: I tried F2, DEL, ESC, F10, F12 without success.

Debian is again at startup priority #1 and I can´t change it without BIOS (so not able to BOOT from DVD, etc.)

I tried to short-circuit the G2201 contact (repair explains how to use it to remove the BIOS password), without success.

Maybe it s import I use the GRUB bootloader, which is automatically installed with Debian

So at this point, I can only hope that anyone of you has an idea what to try next.

Thank you for reading of this

MY GUY OK PROBLEM IS SOLVED, HERE IS THE SOLUTION:

Maybe there is a problem with the basic bios. When you set it to UEFI for LEGACY with the secureboot he have a * beep * bug and after you can not start on anything except which is authorized by the secure boot

And with the bug, you can not enter the bios...

My solution is...  To Flash the bios!

Here you can find the FILES, no PACKAGED goods:

https://www.BIOS-mods.com/forum/thread-Acer-Aspire-V5-571P-BIOS-unlocked-hidden-options

I download files on my google reader:

https://drive.Google.com/file/d/0B_lTuCxt68AOYy03UE83LVBoZWc/view?USP=sharing

This image of the unzipped bios, this means: you can run it from the prompt...

Put the Windows RESCUE KEY into the computer

Go to Advanced Options and open the command prompt,

Then put another key with the bios files flashing inside...

Type "pushd D:\". "where D:\ is the usb key, where is the flashing files! (if you don't know the letter, you can try A B C D E...

Then do a "DIR" command to see if it's the right device!

Then run launch.bat.

Then it Flash the bios AND YOU CAN press F2 to ENTER IN...

So now idk if we were not able to press F2 due to a bug in the BIOS, or problem fastboot (fastboot = no keyboard support)

  • Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E-03Y010EN) no access to the BIOS

    Hi all

    I upgraded my OS from XP - Pro to Win7 Ultimate 2010 March, no problem everything works OK. Now that I need more space, I want to upgrade the hard disk of 40 GB to 320 GB.

    I can not access the bios to change the boot system (boot from DVD, for example), I can access the initial screen of the 4 menu at the start of the laptop but any icon highlight (disks, CD/DVD/etc), the laptop starts just Win7. I tried to use F12, DELETE, F2, etc.; all of them get the Select where I want to go, but as I said earlier, when I select one, the laptop starts just in Win7 from the hard drive.

    My manual tells me to use the Toshiba HWSETUP to access the boot system, but its does not work on Win7 (90% CD-ROM of the tools do not work on/with Win7).

    I downloaded the new drivers Win7 for Bios and other different pieces, some have installed and others have not. More (including the BIOS updated) claim that I am running a not recognized OS so used to install! How the Win7 is an unrecognized OS?

    So my questions are;
    1. How can I access the BIOS to set the boot system to boot from the CD/DVD then the local disk?
    2. is there a fix for this problem? (Looking through the forum, this is not a rare.)
    3. can I never boot/BIOS systems working properly?

    See you soon

    Hello

    > 1. How to access the BIOS to set the boot system to boot from the CD/DVD then the local drive?

    Usually, you can access Bios by pressing f2/f12 at startup, but you've already tried... Try the following:

    * Key esc (BIOS Toshiba) method *.
    Press and hold the ESCAPE key.
    Turn on the laptop.
    Press the F1 key when prompted.
    The first page of the BIOS Setup screen appears.
    If you have a utility called Toshiba hardware configuration (site in a windows environment) where you can choose the cd/DVD-ROM boot priority boot option

    Hello

    I have a laptop HP dating a week 15-ay011nr that does not allow me to access the BIOS. I do not see the message "press ESC for Boot Menu", but it starts directly on the hp logo.

    With reference to this previous post:

    I tried all the steps except the last (remove the RTC battery).

    I wanted to make sure if this solution applies to 15 laptops and if I do this or else, given the warranty has not expired

    Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated

    Kind regards

    KristiD

    Only other thing I can think of who isn't in this post is to restore the bios, you can now win + keys B and turning on the holding of these keys, you can release it when the update/recovery of the bios screen

    After that try with Esc or f10 key immediately after the power

    If this does not work then I would recommend to contact your warranty computer HP

    Most HP computers have a locked BIOS and do not support overclocking. Most of the fields in the BIOS are ' information only ' and cannot be changed.

  • access to the bios win 8

    I just got my new lenovo G480, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB of HARD drive laptop GT635M VGA 2 GB pre-installed with windows 8. When I start my laptop, I don see an option for me access bios as previously in win7 we see press F2 to enter the BIOS on the bottom left of the display. and nothing happens also when I pressed F2 eventhough I tried holding button B on the opening upward. If anyone here knows what to do? help is sincerely appreciated

    The cause is that when you turn off your laptop using normal shutdown, windows is not really turn it off, but he puts in a State of hibernation, is a so-called 'hybrid stop' he invented to win sppedup start and your bios does not allow to y to enter after hibernation (again, to fix the boot). So you can disable hybrid shutdown (it's easy to find how do), or use a windows reboot and you will be able to get into bios after (but only once, I mean, you will be able to enter the bios EXACTLY after restart windows).

  • Envy 17-j130ea: HP Envy 17-j130ea do not have access to the BIOS recovery and black screen

    Hi people,

    The laptop was waking up alone, so I decided to try to update the BIOS. Bis error. The tool has been run on 64 Win10

    The HP tool left me with a black screen and after that I tried to hold the low win + B and the power to access the Bios recovery, but there is no nothing. Tone flashing, nothing.

    I don't know if creating a flash drive with the bios will help as I don't have admin rights in another machine to create the flash drive using HP tool.

    Any ideas? Flash player won't work if BIOS recovery is not pulled up?

    All ideas are welcome.

    See you soon

    Well, I managed to solve the problem overnight without having to wait three days for anyone to answer that after the end of the week, with the following steps:

    1. I had to create a USB key with the bios by using the executable auto HP. It did not help that for some reason any that you have to have the administrator rights on a windows machine. Why aren't files available as well in a simple zip file? It would have helped a lot! Please stop HP right now provide only Autorun... it only compliates things. It took me an extra day just because I couldn't access a machine windows with administrator rights to install the executable file.

    2 - Insert the memory stick with the bios in the dead computer.

    3 - Press the Win + B and press the power button. The machine didn't do any beep or noise that all the guides say. I just kept pressing the key B + Win until I saw a recovery of the Bios screen, finally. Without the memory following stick this same step has not shown, nor does the computer make a noise or show any display, just died.

    4 - wait for the update at the end.

    My Advisor. Do not update windows, it all messed up. It is very reliable to get the memory stick. Too many windows things can interfere in the process, just don't do it from Windows, or at least create the memory stick first while you still can.

    1. communicate with my Packard bell manufacturing gave no progress if the question has been reassigned to tell me it was a software problem with windows
    2. I contacted a local technician who did not know what the problem was
    3. I contacted Microsoft answering service who told me that I should try to access BIOS through advanced, startup was missing why it worked several important things like
    The UEFI firmware settings and use a device (firmware settings is very important because it allows the pc to boot directly from the bios)
    4. I contacted Proton an independent company with experienced technicians, who suggested the same thing as Microsoft
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    As you do not access the BIOS from Windows at all, not sure how this is a Microsoft issue.  The BIOS is what starts after the POST or Power On Self Test.  Then the BIOS takes over and from there it resets the Windows MBR to start.

    Therefore, hit F2 before you see anything to do with Windows, while F2 is the key used to access the BIOS Setup.  As soon as you see something to do with Windows, it is far along the boot process and you must try again.

  • Satellite Pro S500-14Z - how to access the BIOS?

    Hello

    on the Satellite Pro S500-14Z I can´t access the BIOS via F2 and can´t change the bootpriority through F12. By pressing F2 or F12 during startup, the S500 beeps and restarts. When you first start, I had access to the Bios and set the password and active supervisor module TPM. Since I have no access to the BIOS before Windows starts. Is there another key to access bios (I tried ESC, DEL, F1, INS) or how can I change the pw supervisor (I know my real password!) and disable the TPM?

    Thank you

    Hi karlS_1,

    Normally you can access the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows starts. It works with an external keyboard?

    You can change some settings in the BIOS using Toshiba HWsetup. This tool is preinstalled on your laptop and you can change the order of boot with this tool.
