the original hdd was stopped functioning on my aspire v5-431.I try to put in other laptop but wont spin at all.
the laptop was preinstalled with Windows 8 UEFI and safe boot on or something like that and gpt partition i guess and now i can not boot or enter in bios please help to flash bios or to install on this new hdd windows 8.
I tried everything from removing the motherboard batteryto boot from usb with bios file and Crisis files and nothing.
the f2 button doesn't work and acer crisis recovery ask for wph file format and i just have rom file format.
PLEASE HELP TO INSTAL ON NEW HDD WIN 8 OR 7 DOESN'T MATTER OR TO CORECTLY FLASH BIOS ON THIS MODEL(ASPIRE V5-431)
