Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a BIOS dump (8MB) for my Acer Swift 3 SF315-51G-57E5.
It’s the model with 8GB soldered RAM only, no additional RAM slot.
My unit is bricked after a failed BIOS recovery attempt. I’m using a CH341A programmer to flash the GD25Q64(B) 8MB SPI chip directly, but so far no BIOS file has brought it back to life.
I’ve already tried:
- Official
isflash.bin
files from Acer BIOS versions 1.05 and 1.06 BEREA.bin
and BE5EA.bin
extracted from older Acer executables
Current behavior:
When I connect the power adapter, the blue power LED comes on and the fan spins, but no screen output, no POST, and no keyboard backlight.
If I force shutdown by holding the power button, the unit powers back on by itself after a few seconds — but only while plugged in.
On battery alone, it stays off after shutdown.
If anyone has a working BIOS dump from this exact model (or a compatible board revision), I’d really appreciate it. A trimmed 8MB dump or a full 16MB image (with EC/ME if available) would both be helpful.
Thanks in advance for your support Acer Community!
