I received a laptop from a family member with the caveat if you can fix it you can have it.
Based on all the digging i could do in this forum it seems i need to recover the BIOS. I followed all the steps in all the posts i could find but i can't seem to get the correct filename to recover the BIOS. I searched Andy's tool (not exactly where i am supposed to look to be honest) and did not find any ".fd" file names.
The link to the BIOS on ACER's site is https://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles...ER&SC=PA_6
Any help getting the recovery filename or general guidance in general will be appreciated.
I am able to fn+esc and the power and hdd light go solid and the fan goes to max speed, but nothing happens, so i am assuming my filename is incorrect. I have tried BIOS.fd, V1v_X64_8M.fd and Z5WE32x64.fd.
Thanks in advance
