How to fix InsydeH20 Setup Utility and get the laptop boot up Aspire E1-532-4870

April15 · June 2021

My laptop always gets into the InsydeH20 Setup Utility screen. If I hit F9 and F10, it gets to a blank blue screen. If I hit ESC, it gets back into the InsydeH20 Setup Utility screen. This repeats indefinitely and the laptop cannot boot up. The laptop model is Aspire E1-532-4870 running Windows 7. Please help to get it boot up.

Kindly follow the steps given below..

Turn off the laptop. Disconnect or unplug the charger cable, devices or any other cables connected to your laptop. Close your laptop. Turn it upside down. On the bottom of the laptop, you can find a pin hole. It is a tiny hole. You can a find a battery symbol indicator next to the hole. It is like a + and - sign symbol as though somebody is trying to shift the battery out. Insert the pin on to the hole for 30 seconds. Remove the pin. Flip the laptop. Connect the charger cable, turn on the computer. Only on laptops where the battery is inbuilt you can find the battery reset hole on the back of laptop.

On the bottom of the laptop, please look at the top or bottom depending on the way you look at it. You can find a long door. It is a battery removable door. Just below that you can find a latch.

Acer-William, thanks for your reply. Even though the first half of suggestions not working, the F8 advanced boot options do work! But my advanced boot options list are not the same as yours. I only have two options:

- Continue with system resume
- Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu

I chose "Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu" and it booted up!

Thanks for all the suggestions!
