I have the battery plugged in now with ACadapter, put usb in and held 'function esc' to get into BIOS recovery, turned on and my USB light flickered rapidly, then stayed on, i let go of function esc at this point, the light went off for 5 seconds then on and continued like this. I downloaded that and just copied the DOS files over (didn't think I need the win exe file also) into the folder and renamed the wph file and ran wincris onto a 250mb usb stick. The others I don't think I can use as they are to support other graphics cards to mine (I have GT 320m) With the original BIOS firstly I couldn't find the exact original so I tried the closest I could find on the site Acer Support: Downloads & Support Documents 'supports i5 430n' whereas I have i5 430m. I read that someone fixed it on their 5536g just using a usb drive and not pressing anything so I've been trying the method posted by spkleader: basically he posted 'phoenix crisys disk' link, copy original BIOS for your computer into the crisys folder and rename wph name to bios.wph, run winsys targetting a usb stick So yeah my computer force restarted, with long beep two short beeps, and continuous black screen. #Acer aspire bios updateI went to official acer website to update drivers, thought there was an update for my BIOS and used that to flash - didn't realise it was for same model notebook as mine but slightly different graphics card. Hi guys, Sorry about the quite long post but I think it's important I provide as much specific information as possible.
