Acer released a new bios 23 May with an error. Why is it not fixed yet? Poor customer service!

Yes, there is still no response from ACER on the matter....

Even the size of the file is not right!

Acer support, please notify whoever in charge that a WRONG firmware has been posted for W700!!!

The firmware 2.13 is for a Gateway NV52L notebook and NOT the correct firmware for Iconia W700.

I apologize for this issue. I've sent information back to our engineers, as soon as I know more about what the issue is, I'll provide an update.

Thanks Cory

New correct 2.13 has been posted (no change log, of course)

So far, the only thing I have found is BIOS now has a new option called

-D2D Recovery

"To do Acer disc-to-disc system recoveryvia Volume Down + Power button before boot up."   

TDP is still restricted at 10w.

Also, a new Cradle Driver has been added to the driver section. Seems to add  new (port replicator) usb graphic device driver and usb ethernet driver. 

EDIT: I'm not sure if this is a real ot just my imagination, but I think the CPU's boost time behaves a bit differently where the boost power time is slightly longer. GPU is still the same...

SnapShot is now working 😊 Win + Vol.Down

finally screen snapshot without having to whip out a keyboard 😃 now all we need is the tablet to not clamp to 10w after 20 seconds of decent use

You guys have beat me to it, but just to confirm, BIOS 2.13 was uploading on 6/5 and was replicated across all platforms over the weekend.

How did you upgrade your BIOS? Should we use the "BIOS - UEFI for Windows 8 (Not for Upgrades)" ?

I'm afraid if using that BIOS will harm my W700 because it states "Not for Upgrades"
