First it's an Acer Aspire 5740G-6395. While trying to flash the bios in Windows, Windows desides to find a virus. Ok, the file really wasn't a virus, but thanks Windows. Upon rebooting, it appears dead. It just has a power in light, on light, battery light. The CD does do a power on seek. No key presses do anything. No bios of splash screens.
I tried an usb Crisis Disk many different ways. Key presses do nothing. I have a CH341A programmer with clip on coming today. I will likely do the 3.3 volt mod first. I have the W04AC322.bin and main
bios bios files. I will read and compare those files first. If I have to, I can desolder U56 and U16. All of this is inside my skill set.
The last flash files from Acer that I tried, includes KMC, and I think the interruption disturbed the KMC update and that is why Crisis Disk does not work.
Any thoughts, advice?
