I am running this in both Windows & Hackintosh mode.

I have upgraded to BIOS 1.19 & discovered a bug in it that will not allow me to enter into pertinent input fields (in the Windows Settings input field, and also the configuration screen in Mac OS X Mojave).

How do I downgrade my BIOS to a previous version?  I have downloaded and extracted the pertinent .FD files for BIOS 1.15, 1.09 & 1.05.  I need to find out how to downgrade to a previous BIOS version.

    #1, scroll down to bottom 1/3 of webpage. Runs outside of Windows.
    #2. Runs inside Windows.

    Here are the 2 videos that I have recorded with the Windows and Mac proof of what I previously stated:

    2)  Mac - https://youtu.be/kDEQ1ROrXnE

    #1 Does not show me how to create boot media for Acer Nitro 5.  Just a "generic" article.
    #2 Did not work for me.

    Do you have any other suggestions?
  • First try restoring the bios to factory defaults. To do this, enter the bios by pressing the f2 key and click on load setup defaults and then press the f10 key to save when exiting!

    Hi NewLifestyleMentor,

    Please keep in mind that we do not allow/provide direct support or discuss any steps on unlocking, downgrading or bypassing BIOS passwords/security features (please check/review our Acer Community User Agreement). Trying to downgrade your system BIOS incorrectly could harm your Acer product permanently.


    We recommend you contacting your local Acer support for better assistance. 


    Note: We will be now closing this thread. 

    Thanks,
