Bios recovery on Aspire V5-552G, need help
Hello.
I tried to update the bios on my Aspire V5-552G using the latest version from acer support website. It went wrong..
After running the exe, my computer instantly rebooted without giving me the option to install the bios update, im pretty sure it auto installed. And after reboot it starts to black screen with fans running.
I have researched how to recover bios using the Fn+esc combo having unpacked the files from the .exe on a usb stick, but i cant get it to work!
I was unsure about what key combo to use for recovery mode, so i tried booting up holding the fn+esc keys, and it worked, once. Since i didnt have a usb stick in it, it booted to a blue error notice stating it was missing flashable file.
All good so far i thought and went on to prepare the usb stick, formating it (i have tried fat and fat32), unpacking the zip file with the executable to my hdd, and then unpacking the .exe using 7zip, and putting the files on my formatted usb stick.
Now comes the problem. I cannot get the recovery mode to work again. If i follow instructions to install the usb stick, hold fn+esc keys and press power, the screen is black and nothing happens except fans starting.
And i cannot get the blue error notice to re-appere by doing it without usb stick installed, only black screen.
I think the recovery mode activates though.
If i start the computer normaly, there is a blue led shining constantly, but with the fn+esc combo that led is blinking instead. However i cannot get any response from the flash utility.
Please help me!
