Acer Apire V3-771G Firmware question

[jetter555]

Hi All-
I have an Acer Aspire V3-771g notebook. its currently running the
1.15 firmware. The issue im having is the battery is close to dying on it.
I ordered a 9cell battery off of amazon which didnt work. If i hover over
the battery icon it would say "plugged in, not charging". They sent me a
replacement and the same issue happened. I figured the 9 cell battery
wasnt fully compatible with my notebook even tho the webpage said it
would work. I then ordered a 6 cell battery from a different vender, same
issue happens. If I put my original batter back in the notebook and plug
it in and hover over the battery icon it says plugged in, charging. so I dont
think anything is wrong with the notebook itself.

Im thinking that there might be an issue with the old 1.15 firmware not
working on newer\3rd party batteries. Does anyone know if updating the firmware
to 2.28 would fix the issue im having? It would be nice if there was some
patch notes on Acer's site but I cant find anything. I tried calling there tech support
but they wouldnt help since the notebook is out of warranty.

I would update to 2.28 my self but it looks like i need an unlocked firmware.

Thanks!

Instructions :

- Prepare an USB DoS Fat32 Formatted
- Copy the Recovery File VAG70X64.fd into It and go to performing the emergency flash . . .

- Shutdown the netbook (notebook)
- Remove all peripheral devices
- Remove battery, Remove AC power cord
- Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds (battery and AC power still out), then release
- Put the USB Memory Stick in the USB port
- Hold "Fn" + "Esc" and plug the AC power cord in
- Now press the power button (whilst still holding Fn + Esc).
Wait until the fan will run, then release "Fn" + "Esc" keys
- The fan will run for about 2-10 minutes and the USB drive activity LED will blink
- I think the netbook rebooted automatically. If it doesn't, unplug the AC power cord once the fan has turned off

The bios should be updated with the modified BIOS, and boot as per normal.

Here You go Bios Mod v.2.28 :
