    The ideal would be to take to the service center, because doing such a procedure could make the situation worse! Corrupted bios when updating?
    I do not take any responsibility for any damage!
    1) Get a flash drive and convert it to mbr using cmd as administrator: diskpart, list disk, sel disk x (x is the number of pendrive), clean, convert mbr, create partition primary, format fs = fat32 quick, assign and active
    2) Download the latest version of bios at this link https://www.acer.com/ac/en/BR/content/support-product/5345?b=1
    3) Run the installation file on another computer! It will show an error that does not allow the update, but do not close the program yet!
    4) Go on my computer, display hidden items! Then go to c: \ users \ name of your user \ appdata \ local \ temp \ 7zS2295.tmp! Rename the isflash.bin file to Z5W1MX64.fd and copy it to the pendrive!
    3) Turn off Quick Boot if you are using windows 10 and unplug the notebook from the power!
    3) Disconnect everything in the usbs ports and press the power button for 10 seconds!
    4) Connect the USB flash drive to the computer, press fn + esc, and when pressed, connect the notebook to the power and then press the power button! Wait five seconds and when the cooler turns, release the keys!
    5) It should start and read the pendrive and on some hypothesis some turn off the notebook and twist to not lack power!

    Hello egydiocoelho, and I did everything exactly as you explained and the following happened: the led of the pendrive flashes 3 times and then stays on, while the power led flashes for about 1 minute and the cooler is running at maximum speed after that the notebook turns off and does nothing, just turn on the battery LED, indicating that it is charging.
    any idea what might be wrong?

  • On the pendrive there should be only the .fd file! However I recommend that you take the notebook to the Acer service center!
    1) Turn off the notebook and unplug the ac connector and reset the battery with a clip as pictured for about five seconds!
    2) plug the ac connector
    3) plug the pendrive
    4) press fn + esc and connect it to the power and with the keys still pressed, press the power button and wait for five seconds to ensure that the cooler is turning and the power led flashing and then release the keys! The process takes about five minutes to complete!

    I already tried this method of restarting the battery, without success, the result is always the same (pendrive on, power on and the notebook turns off)
    Some details:
    I was running version 1.03 or 1.02 I'm not sure if I tried to upgrade to 1.10 and after that the notebook did not work anymore (it only restarts forever without POST, without BIOS) I'm doing the process with a 16GB pendrive (already tried with partitions of 1gb to 4gb without success)
    I am not considering taking the assistance, I will probably suggest replacing the mother board
    it will probably be quite expensive
  • What did you do before you presented the problem? Have you tried adding some new hardware? Have you tried replacing ram with another equivalent to see if the problem persists?

    I was downloading drivers from the ACER website, so I saw that there were other newer BIOS versions than mine, so I decided to upgrade after that the notebook did not call anymore.
    I did not add any new hardware.
    I already tested with other RAM did not work.
    I tested my RAM in another notebook and it worked
  • Good! You can try the scheme that I indicated to you, downloading the same version of your older bios and also turning off the internal battery! Try using other USB ports!
    The pendrive must be formatted in fat32!
    It is very possible that you need to re-record the bios, so it is recommended to take it to the Acer service center!

  • It's possible that just changing the name is not working! To do this, download a hex editor from this link https://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Editor/3000-2352_4-10891068.html!
    Open the bios file and do not close!
    Open the hexadecimal editor, then open the isflash.bin bios file in c: \ users \ your user name \ appdata \ local \ temp \ 7zS2295.tmp and then go to save as and type with that name Z5W1MX64.fd and save on the desktop and then copy to the pendrive!

    I did what you indicated, open with hxd and save as Z5W1MX64.fd the result was the same, I believe file name is this same however I do not know if the file should be this according to the motherboard schematic BIOS is 8mb the file extracted from the installer has 9.63mb
  • On the service tab says that the file size Z5W1MX64.fd can not exceed 9.44mb! I recommend you take it to a service center to have the bios rewriting done on your notebook!

    and if I use HxD and delete some empty parts until it's the correct size, will it work?
  • This motherboard has two bios! One is to start the notebook and another to give video! I do not know how to do the clipping of a bios, but I'm looking for the video bios to download!
    However I recommend you take it to the service center!

  • I found the file but make sure the motherboard is version 1.0! I'll send it to your email! The video file is usually the largest and then rename as in the steps above!

    the power light is blinking I left it for about 1 hour, with the file isflash.bin (Z5W1MX64.fd) the notebook shut down in about 1 minute

    I'm about to give up this book: /
    What makes me sad is that the problem happened with the Acer software itself, I knew the risks of tinkering with BIOS, but I thought that with the software of the manufacturer itself would look good ....
    Do you have any other suggestions? even if risky?
    I have no intention of taking you to the assistance.

    yes, it also does not work just the led continues flashing and nothing happens, had to manually turn off after half an hour
  • How do you make a video showing the procedure and send it to me? You can also try turning off the internal battery!

    I do not have a camera good enough to record this.
    the battery has already been removed, the notebook is open.
    my next step will be to remove the CMOS battery, but as it is soldered on the board, if I remove it, it will not be possible to put it back.
    A question, be without the CMOS battery can interfere with BIOS recovery (fn + esc)?
