Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57 Black Screen On Boot, Won't Turn On.

So, it just happened 10 minutes when i created this post.

Before this happens, my laptop runs just fine but i saw Windows trying to update my firmware, i think it was named Insyde Firmware? Then windows suggest me to restart so that the updates would install.

But unfortunately, i was running heavy load task and my laptop overheated then shutdown by its own, i assume the update was running in the background and all of sudden my laptop shuts, the update failed and corrupts my BIOS.

When i attempted to boot it, it would just turn on and the keyboard glows red colour and then it shuts down, tries to turn on again, repeat.

Is there anything i can do to solve this problem? Thanks.

I've tried removing the ram, battery, changing and swapping SSDs, nothing really work at the moment.

Nope didn't work as i cannot access the BIOS at all.

It is corrupted, like when i turn it on, it just gives me a blank screen but the keyboard backlight turns on.

And when i press fn+esc, the fan would burst out in high speed but it did nothing other than that, i thought it will recover the bi

First try to reset your BIOS by disconnecting the CMOS battery (ignore the flash bios part):

If CMOS reset failed flash a new BIOS with a USB Flash drive compatible with your USB2.0 or USB3.01 port, format the drive as Fat32 and follow these steps (you need another PC to download the BIOS file from Acer Support and unzip that to get the flash Bios file):
