    Hi,

    I tried to flash a new BIOS version 3310 to my AOA150 according to the instructions at Acer's site

    For some reason I can't turn on my computer now.



    I will appreciate your help.


    Thanks

    WARNING Acer support lists this as an option to restore back to factory settings on some acer models (untried by myself) it's unwise to mess with the BIOS if you are a novice you can make your computer unusable.

    Acer support lists
    Press the "F2" key on the keyboard to enter the Acer BIOS menu.
    Listed at the bottom of the BIOS screen, is the Select the BIOS option F9 "Setup Default"
    Press the "F10" key to save the BIOS, that is reset to the factory default settings.

    Thoughts,

    Reading this forum some people have experienced a blacking out of their screens after a BIOS update. This updating procedure would remove some hdd information that was held by the BIOS this may include the battery setting required to restart the netbook.

    Just maybe The two items could be related ?

    Here's a link to battery problem on acer laptops
