Acer Aspire One BIOS Recovery
The Acer Aspire One has a built-in BIOS recovery routine, which can boot
into a minimal BIOS environment via a special boot block to re-flash
the BIOS, even if the system does not pass POST and does otherwise not
boot anymore. This procedure is also known as Crisis Disk.
First format an USB flash drive with FAT. It does not need to be bootable.
Download the latest
BIOS, and extract all files. Put both FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file
with FD suffix in the root directory of the flash drive. The files must
not be in a folder. Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD before proceeding. It only works with this exact filename.
Turn the AA1 off, and verify both battery and AC adapter are plugged in.
Press Fn and Esc simultaneously, keep them pressed and
press the power button. Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds. The power
button starts blinking at this point. Press it once. The AA1 will now
access the files on the flash drive and initiate flashing the BIOS.
After a while the power button stops blinking, and the AA1 reboots by
itself. Wait patiently.
If it doesn't reboot, but keeps blinking, wait at least a few minutes before turning it off, and try again.
