Hello! I am reaching out regarding an issue with my Acer Aspire A315-24P laptop. After accessing the BIOS and modifying one of the internal settings (possibly related to integrated graphics memory), the system no longer boots. The screen remains completely black — no Acer logo, no POST, and no access to BIOS via F2 or DEL.
Here’s a summary of the issue:
- Model: Acer Aspire A315-24P
- Issue started after changing a BIOS setting
- System powers on (fan spins briefly), but the screen remains black
- No response to external monitor
- Tried disconnecting the battery and CMOS (RTC) battery – no effect
- Tried Crisis BIOS Recovery (holding Fn + Esc, then pressing Power) using a FAT32 USB with BIOS .fd file – still no reaction
I would like to kindly ask:
- Does the A315-24P model support Crisis BIOS Recovery?
- What is the correct BIOS file name and file format required for USB recovery (e.g., BIOS.fd, ZG0x.fd)?
- Is there an official recovery tool or key combination specific to this model?
- Is there a way to completely reset the BIOS to factory state manually?
If needed, I can provide the serial number (SNID) and any additional technical details or photos of the board.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. I truly appreciate your support, as I would like to avoid using an SPI programmer if a recovery method still exists.
