So, I have installed a new 2 gb ram chip and got the black screen on start up.
All advice I seen is to reflash the bios.
I downloaded the bios files from Acer using the SNID number.
The files include:
DOS folder with: Flashit.exe, Flash.exe, PAV70D3.fd, PAV70D2.fd; Windows folder with: PAV70316.exe
My question is which files should I include on my thumb drive to reflash the bios and do I really need to change the name of one of the files as some have suggested. (i.e. PAV70D3.fd rename to zg5ia32.fd)
Any other advice specific to my machine would be helpful.

Before you mess with BIOS firmware, does it boot up OK with the old memory module re-installed? Jack E/NJ

I have not tried putting old ram back but it’s what I was going to do next.0

Yes, I put the old ram back in and all seems to be working. Perhaps the new ram not compatible; try another vender?

Go to crucial dot com and see what compatible DDR upgrades are recommended for your particular machine. It also could simply be a bad module. Jack E/NJ
