Mando_ayyy said:Nope. Keyboard backlight turns on but the screen never turns on. The only other sign of life is that it beaps when I plug it in to the wall. I'll give the external monitor a go asap
Try to disconnect the RTC battery (which is the bios battery) see No3 in the diagram below as this is the mobo diagram for your SF114-32:Mando_ayyy said:Title summarises it. Was upgrading it and bring it to windows 11 and updated the bios from 1.11 to 1.15. Update was 'successful', showed Acer logo then showed black screen with no backlight. Sat like this for 20 minutes then restarted using the battery disconnect. Still doesen't boot to anything, BIOS or otherwise.
Tried using insyde revovery tools and some methods (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4-0cALAg64 and https://www.bios-mods.com/bios-recovery/insyde-bios-recovery/. both of which call for ripping a bios image (.fd or .bin) and an .exe, loading it onto a blank usb and holding FN+Esc) but no luck.
Really don't want to have to ship it off for recovery, since it is long out of warrenty and wouldn't be worth the money.
Thanks in advance for the help, Mando.
I tried both the external display and the the battery disconnect, no luck on both. I've been trying to follow your steps here on creating a crisis disk, but I'm having trouble tracking down a .fd file to use on it. I extracted the contents of the v1.15 update exe, but the closest I could find was a .bin, but trying that doesn't seem to do anything.StevenGen said:Try to disconnect the RTC battery (which is the bios battery) see No3 in the diagram below as this is the mobo diagram for your SF114-32:
If not do the "BIOS Recovery for your SF114-32" but be very careful as not knowing how to apply and do these steps will do damage that I can't take any responsibility for! If this doesn't work then get an experienced tech that has the proper micro soldering equipment to change your bios chip to a new reflashes to the last bios v1.15 bios if you can get one?
Tried this, no dice too. Is there something I should rename the file itself to? This manual here (https://www.manualslib.com/manual/440295/Acer-Aspire-E1-531.html?page=67#manual) mentions renaming the file to Q5WV1X64.FD, though I'd assume that this name was machine specific. Any clue what it'd need to be named?billsey said:Try renaming the .bin file as .fd.

Do you know where I could track one down or convert some other file (like that .bin) into a .fd?
See this guide "How to Extract bios fd file from acer bios download from site” or look at all the other guides here "how to extract the .fd file from an Acer bios .exe file" as this is all that you need and then follow the exact steps of the "Acer BIOS Recovery" steps above but and as I've said you need experience to do this and if you don't have then do it at your risk as I must warn you about that.
So I did the youtube one and found that the filename should be...
