I'm currently on bios version 1.29 and cannot update to 2.x versions from Acer. If I unlock my bios, will I be able to upgrade to 2.x?
Model: Aspire S3-391-323a4G52add

Hi friend,
for Upgrade or Downgrade Bios Version 1.xx to 2.xx there are only two ways :
1. Recovery Mode
2. FPT Tool using a Generalized Bios Version
here You go for your Bios Mod Slic 2.1 + Menu Tabs Unlocked :

Let me know

Here Recovery Bios File v.2.17, prepare your USB Dos Fat32 formatted Stick,
unpack file and copy into :
http://rghost.net/57835992
Recovery Procedure :
- Performing the emergency flash
- Shutdown the netbook (notebook)
- Remove all peripheral devices
- Remove battery, Remove AC power cord
- Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds (battery and AC power still out), then release
- Put the USB Memory Stick in the USB port
- Hold "Fn" + "Esc" and plug the AC power cord in
- Now press the power button (whilst still holding Fn + Esc).
Wait until the fan will run, then release "Fn" + "Esc" keys
- The fan will run for about 2-10 minutes and the USB drive activity LED will blink
- I think the netbook rebooted automatically. If it doesn't, unplug the AC power cord once the fan has turned off
The bios should be updated with the modified BIOS, and boot as per normal.
