Acer F5-573G Insyde BIOS Recovery
#1
Hi everyone. So recently I updated my PC with an windows update. It got updated. And when running it after the update, during the bootloader there was a battery issue and my laptop turned off, When I turned it back on, I got the black screen. Not even my acer logo.

So I researched and did the steps to follow for recovering Phoenix boot. When I ran the tool, it showed me that my BIOS was Insyde.
1)Got the .exe file from the official acer website.
2)Extracted using universal extractor. 'Got only the .fd files.
3)NO .wph FILES WERE FOUND AFTER EXTRACTION.
4)Ran phoenix tool and it said the BIOS was insyder.
5)Downloaded wincrisis 1.0.0.4. Copied the Makeboot and PHLASH.exe to a usb port along with the .fd files found in the extractor.
6) There was NO BIOS .wph file found in the crisis as well.
7)Booted my laptop into flash mode and tried flashing.
8)Nothing happened.

I'm attaching screen shots below. Please help.  I can't locate the bios.wph file. I need my laptop for work.
Extra information:
I'm using a dual boot PC with GRUB bootloader.
Dual booted using UEFI mode.

It's an Insyde Bios ...

It has 3 bios version into ZAA2, ZAA3, ZAA4.
So You try renaming one at time and trying ...
The Recovery Name are ZAA2.fd - ZAA3.fd - ZAA4.fd

Here You go :

https://www.mediafire.com/file/ld6p2jtoy...A.rar/file

Try this recovery procedure :

Recovery procedure is standard, ZAA2.fd for Motherboard Bios ZAA2 , ZAA3.fd for Motherboard Bios ZAA3, ZAA4.fd for Motherboard Bios ZAA4,
so extract bios files from original stock bios and test one at one.
Rename as shown above and put into USB flash drive formatted as FAT32.
There should be only one file on USB flash drive.
Connect USB flash drive, connect charger to your laptop, hold down Fn+Esc then press power button.
Release Fn+Esc when you see that USB flash drive LED is blinking.
Wait until laptop competes flashing BIOS.
The laptop should shutdown at the end of the process. That's all.

Regards

Hey Giocap.
I tried your aforementioned steps previously. 
Tried with all the ZAA files by renaming them. And still, my laptop isn't turning on.

How long should I wait for the laptop to flash the BIOS? 
I've been waiting for 15 mins and turning it on and off again.
