I have just bought Predator Orion 3000 PO3-600 and tried to update BIOS. After updating BIOS (downloaded from the official website and run a file from UCP folder like documentation suggests) the computer stops loading. I get the screen Predator and "Press Del ... to open BIOS". It just stops there and does not react to anything. I tried every possible query on google and on acer website, but cannot find any documentation whatsoever on the BIOS recovery procedures. Can anyone help me point to the documentation or some other ways to do it. I really hope there exists a way to reset it it factory defaults.

    Have you tried entering the bios through windows 10? Do you know which version of bios was installed earlier?

    I am not sure what do you mean by entering BIOS through Windows 10 since I can't get Windows to load at all? I think the version was 2.20.1272 (not sure about the last 2 digits).

    Does your notebook display a trace in the upper left corner of the screen when you try to enter the BIOS? Can you make a video or send a photo of the problem?

    No, it's no trace whatsoever the only thing that I see is the Predator logo in the middle and "Press Del or F12 to enter setup..." at the bottom left. There is nothing else unfortunately. I can try to make a photo and post it as well.

    So I actually cannot enter the BIOS itself, there is no reaction when I try to press any button.

    Have you tried to reset the power as it was said in this video?

    Although the video shows the procedure on a notebook, you can do the same on a desktop!

    I have tried to follow the same steps, though not 100% sure exactly, that's what I did:
    1. Turned off PC and disconnected it from power supply
    2. Pressed the power button for 30 seconds
    Nothing changed after that. Tried to do the same thing with power on as well, but no luck either.

    OK! Try this:
    Unplug the desktop from the wall outlet and then unplug the rtc battery! Switch the CMOS jumper to position 2, 3 and wait a few minutes:

    Then put the jumper in the original position and connect the rtc battery!
    If this does not work, then I suggest you contact your region's technical support!

    Hey! THanks for help, I'll try doing that. Where did you get that picture? I tried to find technical documentation but did not manage. Can you post it here or post a URL to it?

    Unfortunately I can only post photos! As it is a service manual, I can not make it available for download as the document is owned by Acer!
