Thereafter it any re-boots resulted in the black screen that displays startup options.Īnd no matter which option I chose, still within seconds, it shut back down.

So I pressed the power button, the machine got to my logon screen, seemingly accepted my password and then instantly the thing shutdown without any usual protocol or even so much as an error prompt. My issue was that after the flashing, the machine shutdown and didn't restart (maybe we're supposed to wait for XX minutes for it to restart, but I gave up waiting after a few minutes). In any respect, I'm confident that I would have encountered the same snafu either way I'd have tried it. Whatever the problem "is" with Acer BIOS flashing, not sure if it's the convoluted supposedly necessary use of a flash drive when flashing the BIOS, that or maybe it's just because I read that crap and found it like something out of NASA and I decided to simply read the BIOS zip's readme (which simply said double clik the insydeflash.exe) and I flash my AOA150's BIOS that way. If everything has gone right, the BIOS is flashed and all settings are reset to default. Wait till the AA1 has completed all this operations. After some minutes the power button will stop blinking, and then the AA1 will reboot. The AA1 will start the BIOS flash, do not interrupt for any reason.

Please note that the process I'm about to describe is only meant for emergencies and may void your warranty, so use at your own risk.ġ) Format a USB memory key with the FAT mode.Ģ) Download the latest version of the BIOS from Acer support website:ģ) Extract the files from the zip and put both the FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file in the root directory of the memory key.Ĥ) Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD and then remove the disk.ĥ) Turn the AA1 off, insert the battery and connect the AC adapter.Ħ) Insert the USB Memory Key into one of the USB port of the Aspire One.ħ) Press Fn+Esc, keep it pressed and press the power button to turn the AA1 on.Ĩ) Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds, the power button will be blinking.ĩ) Press the power button once. Luckily the Acer Aspire One has a built-in BIOS recovery routine, making it possible to flash the BIOS even if the system doesn't boot anymore. If your aa1 does like this probably its BIOS has been damaged.

So if you set the password yourself and thought you remembered it, but it didn’t work… then this might be helpfulĪcer Support – Answers, E-Mail, Chat – How do I update the BIOS on the Acer Aspire One AOA110 or AOA150 netbooks? Updating the BIOS will require a USB flash drive to store the BIOS information on during the update.After switching off the aa1, when trying to turn it on again, it just shows blinking leds and the fan is turning.
(according to that post, the password may be converted to ALL CAPS and it may also be truncated to 8 characters… so if you had set the password to mhpw2012zzz then the Acer BIOS might have changed it to MHPW2012) However, I do know of a few things you may want to try: I am sorry that I do not have a definitive answer for you. Thank you for your comment and for your good question(s). Sorry to impose like this, but your depth and breadth of knowledge about the AO722 make it hard to resist asking you Many thanks in advance!
Would you know if this is correct or not? And so will shorting/ clearing the CMOS eliminate the BIOS password, and if not, is there a way to short / clear the EEPROM ? Other than this, someone online mentioned a way to do “BIOS Recovery” for the AO722:īut do you know whether this procedure would merely flash a newer version of the BIOS, or would it also clear the BIOS password?Īlternatively, someone online mentioned there is a program that allows one to read all the digits and text stored in the CMOS, thus helping to remind one of the password stored somewhere therein, but I’m sure that will work for the AO722 would you know? The ever-helpful Jaroc has mentioned a procedure to clear the BIOS, but I read online that someone said that the Aspire One’s BIOS password is probably stored in an EEPROM - whatever that is - and not in the CMOS itself.

A s I’ve forgotten my computer’s BIOS supervisor password, would you be able to let me know how to clear it or otherwise get into my BIOS? (that is, other than sending the netbook back to Acer and paying them over $100 to do it). As you obviously know much more about the AO722 than I do, I was wondering if I could pick your brain on something.

Thank you so much for those great step-by-step memory upgrade instructions.
