How to flash Aspire 5560g BIOS?

Hello! I have just registered with this website and dearly hope to find a solution.

 

My Aspire 5560g does not boot properly anymore. It looks as if it cannot complete the BIOS boot, as it restarts before even getting to POST. I cannot enter the BIOS nor do any thing else. The problem looks like at this fellow's Acer:

I have tried manually flashing the BIOS with 1.15, 1.09, 1.17. I have tried the Phonenix Tool / Crisis Recovery and several other methods of and file combination and renames.

 

Fn+ESC triggeres the laptop to scan its peripherals for flash files, however, it does not flash anything.

checking up and down other forums, it may be because the some boot block would be corrupt or the BIOS files are named incorrectly or it is the wrong flash method or the USB it self would be an issue. Some say it must have and .fd extension, some a .cap, some a .rom, some a .bin and some a .wph. 

 

Yes, I have tried breadboarding, exchanging USBs, renaming everything and nothing etc. etc. But I cannot find an instruction where it actually worked for the 5560g as to replicate the procedure. 

 

Hence...help!

 

Thank you!

The BIOS is Phoenix SecureCore Tiano

 

This one seemed promissing: http://www.aures-support.fr/DATA/drivers/CD_POSLIGNE_3.0/Common/BiosTool/Phoenix/EFI_Shell/ShellFlash_SCT_UG.pdf

Problem: It gives out requirements withouth saying where to get those requirements (files) from.

 

Same here: https://github.com/antonizoon/archivis.me/wiki/Phoenix-UEFI-BIOS-Crisis-Recovery#creating-the-crisis-recovery-disk

Where to get them from? EFI Folder, PFlash.efi, CrisisRecovery.efi? 

 

Similar it is with every other guide/suggestions.

    HI.

     

    You will have to remove the HDD for flashing the BIOS, because you can't see the BIOS and your HDD is the first to boot, without the HDD hopefully your USB will boot the program.

     

    You can try the suggestion given here to resolve the issue.

    Hope this helps.

     

     

    Regards.

    Hey Ivan_Pc, Thank you for the suggestion.

    In fact, I took out the HDD from the very beginning.

     

    I tried those flash methods described in the link you gave me. I found that forum earlier when I started the whole recovery undertaking a few weeks ago. It does not work. The single file flash method with an .FD extension seems to apply to Insyde Bioses only. Mine is Phoenix - unfortunately.
