Laptop doesnt seem to want to accept the filename. Is there another file name I can try to see if laptop flashes.
Bruh not the 16mb bios file, use the extracted bios from the BIOS installer from Acer and make sure its the same version that your laptop is/was running before it got bricked.
Filename should be GH53Gx64.fd
Laptop doesn’t read usb for bios recovery. My USB seems to blink once and that’s it.
Any help I still can’t seem to recover the bios of this laptop?
I opened up the laptop but the bios chip is too small to clamp with ch431a. Not able to make good contact. I also tried holding down the power button for roughly a minute but same problem.
I have the exact same model of laptop. Will this script work one my laptop?
It should if you successfully complete all the on-screen instructions. For this you just need to confirm the continuation several times by pressing any key and have PowerShell in the system (starting from Windows 7 it is installed by default).
- Run 'SET VARS.bat" and reboot.
- Run “FLASH.bat”.

I can’t even reproduce the “No arguments” error, so I don’t understand how it’s possible. I see that arguments are specified, but even so, if they are not specified, it will give a list of available commands instead of an error.
Pleace, replace the file “H2OUVE-W-CONSOLEx64.exe” in a folder with a new one.
uve.log content is welcome.

I am still getting this error!
At least this is a step forward, it did recognized the arguments.
Did you reboot the device before running “FLASH.bat”? It is important.
yes
Good to know, thank you.
Now it has been fixed. As always, I forgot which version of Intel Management Engine is used. Now the script works with version 15.
Sorry!
It’s still giving the same error.

Ok, I’ve done a BIOS MOD for you manually: Morpheus9000.zip.
Absolutely in the same way as I did it for the 4 previous users.
