Acer Aspire One PC Notebook - Page 5 Questions & Answers
I turn on my computer and the Acer screen comes up
sounds like a boot error, usually caused by moving files you shouldnt move or viruses deleting important files, in either case... you should be able to do a complete system restore, when the screen comes on, press the f2 button or whichever one says to push for the e recovery manager, select system restore, not just a restore point, and follow the recovery wizard, hope this helps.
My Acer One was given to me and I need the Bios
The Acer Aspire One has built-in BIOS recovery which can be used to flash its BIOS. Once the BIOS has been flashed, all BIOS settings are reset to default which gets rid of the BIOS password. This procedure has been posted Aug 2008 on macles for friends of the aspire one to address the BIOS failure that frequented early versions of the Aspire One BIOS. I have used the procedure on my own Acer Aspire One when it bricked in the fall of 2008 and once more in 2009 to install a later BIOS version. Acer also posted Feb 2009 the similar procedure on AcerSupport but has since removed it. Be aware that you must follow the procedure carefully and do so at your own risk. Here is the macles link.
