Acer Aspire One BIOS Recovery
The AA1 has a built-in BIOS recovery routine, making it possible to
flash the BIOS even if the system doesn't boot anymore. It's only meant
for emergencies and may void your warranty, so use at your own risk.
Follow every step carefully!
First format an USB stick with FAT.
Download the
latest BIOS, and put both FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file in the root directory of the stick. Rename the BIOS file to
ZG5IA32.FD, that's important. Do not remove the USB stick.
Turn the AA1 off, make sure both battery and AC adapter are connected.
Press Fn+Esc, keep it pressed and press the power button to turn the
AA1 on. Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds, the power button will be
blinking. Press the power button once. The AA1 will now initiate the
BIOS flash, do not interrupt it under any circumstances. After a while
the power button will stop blinking, and the AA1 will reboot shortly
after. Wait patiently.
The BIOS has been flashed and all settings reset to default.
If for some reason you made a mistake during the procedure and it
doesn't reboot by itself wait 5 minutes before turning it off, just to
be safe that it isn't still flashing the BIOS.
