    Can you still boot from the USB installer, pressing F12 if needed.?

    Press and hold the power button till the machines shuts off. Then press and hold F2. Then while still holding F2, turn the machine back on.

    What is your full Aspire 3 laptop model number? For example, A315-23G?

    What happens when you press FN key while tapping F2 immediately after startup?

    How were you tweaking the firmware? From a USB stick? From the boot drive? What OS?

    Was a bootable internal drive connected at the same time?

    Did this machine come from the factory with an operating system installed on a bootable internal SSD or HDD connected to the mainboard? If not, did it come from the factory with an empty internal SSD or HDD connected to the mainboard?

    Try temporarily disconnecting the internal HDD to see if you can gain F2 access to BIOS menu.

    Next step would be to try to reflash the BIOS by the FN+ESC usb cold boot method. Do have the tianocore flash binary file BIOS_GLK.ROM?

    Follow these steps.

    (1) Must use an empty FAT32 format USB thumbdrive with an activity LED..
    (2) Unzip the latest ACER BIOS v1.10 zipfile at this link. Look for isflash.bin or BIOS_GLK.ROM file. If you can't find it, the unzipped EXE file must be run to further extract on another Windows machine
                                https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/8063?b=1
    (3) Rename isflash.bin to BIOS_GLK.ROM and copy it  to thumbdrive.
    (4) Plug charger in. Battery must be fully charged. Plug thumbdrive in.
    (5) Press and hold FN+ESC and turn machine on.
    (6) Release FN+ESC when activity LED blinks repeatedly
    (7) If successful, machine will auto shutdown after about 5mins
    (8) Remove USB and try to turn machine back on.

    I tried nothing happens, when i turn the laptop with single press the power button only turns on the LED but screen stays black, unless i long press the power button that’s where it will power on and showing Tianocore logo then screen comes off and then shows tianocore logo then comes off again but power on LED still lights up
