725-0826 bricked after 2.12 update
#1
Hello, some background on the issue:
Acer Apsire One 725-0826 laptop given to me by an aunt who forgot the BIOS password.
Installed Linux and worked for a year with no issues.
Noticed an issue while performing internet speed tests; upload very slow.
Wanted to check BIOS but password issue still exists
Learned about ClnPWD.exe and created a DOS bootable USB
Tried to boot with DOS formatted USB: system would not recognize
Tried to boot with Windows 7 repaid disk: system would not recognize 
Only the HDD would show as a bootable device
Tried to boot with a Debian USB key: system recognizes it
Tried to boot with Hiren's boot either though USB or CD: system boots
Tried to use ClnPWD.exe in DosBox using Hiren's boot CD: failed
Took apart laptop, and removed CMOS battery then left it for 4 hours
Replaced battery, RAM and HDD, now the system will not recognize HDD
Tried to use Hiren's boot USB, screen flickering, showing the external CDROM which wasn't attached
Learned about Crisis Recovery Disk
Formatted USB using WINCRIS.EXE
Discovered and downloaded "Recovery BIOS 2.12 Aspire One 725"
Copied ZHGBIOS.fd to the USB
AC adapter and battery were both connected
While holding FN+ESC pressed the power button laptop entered recovery mode, USB flashing
After a few minutes the laptop shutdown but did not restart
Since then when pressing the power button nothing happens
Disconnected both AC adapter and battery
Held down Power button for longer than 10 seconds
Reconnected only AC adapter, no LED's turn on, tried to power on: fail
Reconnected only Battery, tried to power on: fail
When I plug the USB into two of the ports the light on it turns on then shuts off after two seconds
But for the USB port closest to the AC power port the USB's light stays on until the AC adapter and Battery are removed

I'm blaming myself for this issue but hoping there is another step I could try before taking out my frustrations on this laptop with a hammer
