Aspire M3985 - BIOS UPGRADE FAIL - Need help !!
Hello to the Acer community..
Ok i have a problem..my desktop was performing a BIOS upgrade and the computer was unexpectidly shutdown during the end of the upgrade process so now all i am getting is FOUR Beeps and a black screen..no post screen no logo..nothing, things i have tried so far:
- Ive removed all expansion cards, RAM etc. so ive ruled out other possibilties to my knowledge
- Removing CMOS Battry
- Clear CMOS Jumper
- PS/2 Keyboard w/ USB AMIBOOT.ROM pressing "Ctrl + Home" still no avail..
Soo i think i am ruled out with 3 options:
- Buy a new BIOS chip and "gamble" my chances and solder the new chip on and hope it works
- Try a USB FDD (Probably will not work)
- OR just buy a new motherboard..
So yea..i am in a bad spot and i need help, anyone got any suggestions on what i should/could do ??
