BIOS Will Not Load | Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55

GamingRoos

I've had a problem with the BIOS when trying to enable "Secure Boot". When trying to enable it doing the normal BIOS access method when it would not load and would get stuck on the Acer splash screen. I let it sit for an hour to see if it would eventually load, to my disappointment it did not. I have tried accessing through the Windows10/11 troubleshooting menu still with no luck.

Went to the Acer firmware page for my specific model to update the BIOS there, going through all the versions to see if it would work, but it did not. My current BIOS firmware is V2.0, downloading the file "BIOS_206.EXE" to reflash would only throw out a petty error describing; "The version of ROM file is the same as that of BIOS". No luck there, it would immediately close the software.

BIOS_206.exe

It would be greatly appreciated if I could receive some help to resolve my issue.

To enable secure boot:

1. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to completely shutoff your computer.
2. Power on the system and then immediately press F2 for several times to enter the BIOS.
3. Use the right arrow key to select Security.
4. Use the down arrow key to highlight Set Supervisor Password and press Enter.
5. Create a password and press Enter. Retype the password to confirm and press Enter again.
6. Use the right arrow key to select Boot.
7. Press the down arrow key to select Secure Boot and press Enter.
8. With the arrow key, highlight Disabled and press Enter.
9. Press the F10 key and select Yes to save the changes and exit the BIOS.

Suggestion: remove the supervisor password immediately after enabling Secure Boot. If you choose not to remove your supervisor password, make sure you write it down for future use.

You have BIOS V2.06 installed, so if you want to install the same version (2.06), you see the error message. So that's ok.
