Acer Aspire 5560-785:

Does anyone know where I can get a new BIOS/CMOS chip?  I was in the process of upgrading my BIOS when the power went out BEFORE the update was complete.  now the system will not boot.

    What problem was the system exhibiting that a BIOS update was known to fix? Jack E/NJ

    Hi,

    You can buy them online and get it fixed by a technician from a local store as it needs soldering.

    I am RE-ASKING this question.

    I was in the process of upgrading my BIOS when the power went out BEFORE the update was complete.  now the system will not boot. It is stuck in the boot loop. If I hit F2 I quickly see Entering Setup but then the system reboots.  Can anyone tell me if this can be fixed?  When I went to Acer site it said my BIOS was out of date so I downloaded the latest BIOS, Ran it, then the power went out.  Any help is appreciated.  I did see the BIOS chip site but want to do that as a LAST result.


    Thanks,

    You can try two things. (1) Disconnect power, battery and open the laptop. Find the BIOS button cell, temporarily remove it and short out its mainboard contacts for a minute or two. It might re-set the BIOS chip to a default usable state. (2) Check if the firmware file you download has a Windows or DOS subdirectory with files. If it does, google "Phoenix Bios Recovery" with the quotes and follow the directions for flashing the BIOS on the bios mod site using the Fn+Esc coldboot method. Jack E/NJ

    @drpouya Remove the battery and charger. Press and hold the power button for one minute. Then re-insert the battery and charger. Then try to turn it back on again. Jack E/NJ
