Hello, I am having difficulty modifying the BIOS to enable Coffee Lake support on an Acer Aspire TC-780A. I’ve done this with non-OEM motherboards and Lenovo machines (without Boot Guard) using CoffeeTime, but I cannot seem to update the VBIOS+GOP or microcode on the Acer using CoffeeTime (click through the prompts, but VBIOS, GOP, and microcodes don’t “update”).

Is anyone who is more knowledgeable able to assist? I’ve attached a full dump of the stock BIOS using FPT. BIOS Dump

I dont know if this would work, but try flash this and see if the machine would boot: darkenshadow-mod.rar (4.9 MB)

Did it work with a coffee lake/refresh cpu?
