Notebooks & Netbooks

I recently upgraded the bios on my Acer Aspire One 725-0670 from version 1 to 1.08.  Now I am experiencing blue screen of death intermittently so I would like to rollback to the prior bios version to see if that would resolve the issue.

I went to the Acer drivers website but only the newer 1.08 version is there.

One way I saw on the web to rollback the bios was to disconnect the button cell battery on the motherboard - the writer says that will default the computer to the original bios.

Unfortunately that involves an almost complete disassembly of the computer.  I am hoping someone has the original bios available or some alternate method to get back to bios version 1.

It looks like Acer only has the newer ones posted.

Have you tried a google search to see if there is a download?

Are you sure the BIOS update is what is causing your bluescreen issue?

The netbook worked fine until just after I upgraded the bios - so I suspect that is what caused the issue.  I have no idea if going to a prior bios version will fix the problem - but it is worth a try.

Since my post I did find an older bios (version 7) on their web site - not the one I had (version 1) but an earlier version that the one I put in (which is version 8).

Trouble is - Acer uses the insydeh20 software to update the bios - and when I tried to install version 7  it would not let me install that older version.
