Aspire V5-171 Bios Issue: Can't Boot and want to Reflash Bios. I have installed the latest Bios version for V5-171 on a properly formatted flash drive. My question: On similar Reflash situations they instruct you to rename the Bios file and there is a second file (such as FLASH IT.EXE)you also installed on the flash drive...so do I need to rename the bios file (and if so what) and do I need the second file (such as FLASH IT.EXE) I only saw the bios file on the download so I'm hoping everything there is included. Any suggestions or help appreciated. Thanks!! Don

    vbdon,

     

    You should not need to rename the BIOS file, you can simply run it again. There should be a .exe file that you just run.

    Did you fix your issue?

     

    Mines stuck just as soon as I turn it on. 

     

    Just one boot option that keeps looping, but nothing else is done.  With a USB it stucks at the Acer.

     

    i think I need to downgrade to 1.09.

     

    You know how?

    I have also an downgrade problem because it just won't work. Bios checks the version and then it won't let you flash if you have an higher version number installed.
