Solve : Bios failure! Please help.?

1.	Solve : Bios failure! Please help.?
Answer» I was using WINDOWS Vista Home Premium on Acer Aspire 5315. It was just out of curiosity that I went to the manufacturer website and downloaded its BIOS update and tried to update it. On the way however the laptop stacked for so long time that I tried to shut it down by pressing and hold the power button but it didn't shut down;later I removed the battery. When I started it again it didn't start and EVEN the power connectivity lights are off when connected to power. I have tried all I can but since the screen doesn't communicate I have ended up in vain. Frankly speaking, I am very worried and I don't know what to do. Please anyone with any idea, I will be glad for your help. Thanks in advance!You may have just created an expensive paperweight by flashing the BIOS and/or INTERRUPTING the process... I'm afraid a trip to an authorised Service Center might be your only option... Why did you need to flash the BIOS ? ?Quote from: PATIO on June 15, 2011, 08:48:48 AM Why did you need to flash the BIOS? Quote from: The OP It was just out of curiosity It's not just cats that are killed by curiosity, it seems.Well, it's obviously too late for the OP, but for the curious reader of this forum..... Unless there is a VERY GOOD reason to flash your bios, , , DON'T. Motherboard makers have a different BIOS for every model of mobo that they make. Each one is VERY specific to a particular Mobo and none other. Flashing a bios chip with the wrong code, will usually render it inoperable (DEAD) Some bios chips have a backup copy of the original code. Remove all power from the system (take out all batteries in a laptop) and remove the CMOS battery for at least 30 minutes. Then replace the cmos battery, restore the power and try to boot up the PC. This may or may not work, but it's worth a try. Good Luck Mate!
