    Hi,

    Caution: Flashing BIOS via USB can be risky, especially if you're unsure about your laptop’s exact model or using an .fd file from a different unit. There’s a real chance of bricking your system if it doesn't match perfectly.

    You mentioned updating from v1.13 to v1.15 and now aiming for v1.18, but without confirming your full model (like PH317-55 vs. PH315-54), it's hard to verify that v1.18 is even the correct update.

    I’d strongly recommend against flashing through USB unless Acer officially provides recovery instructions for your specific laptop. If you’re having trouble with TPM/PTT showing up, it’s best to contact Acer Support in your country—they can assist with BIOS-level configurations or flashing without risking damage to your machine.

    Better safe than sorry!
