Greetings. A Service Manual and shemaitics here. Do try the following prio to tempering with the Bios chip though.

1. Download Phoenix Crisis Recovery Boot Disk (Mkbootdisk.exe) via USB w/ plash16

2. Download acer bios and rename to the bios file to bios.wph

3. Place the bios file in the same directory as the files to create boot disk from DOS
