[REQUEST] Acer Aspire 5742(G,Z) BIOS Unlock

[numnutz2005]

I wish I knew too! In fact, for this reason, was wondering if anyone had already tried.

the bios works. It is the 30 one not the 27 or non unlocked 29. I see the advanced menu tab which has little but the power tab and a ton of switchable options in it like advanced cpu control so on and so forth. I have an acer 5742g-7200 i pulled off the shelf to install it on so i can confirm it works just fine so give it a show if u want but thought i would at the very least let you know its good.

Hi, I have this pc, i would like to modify some options like the video card usage (this model use nvidia optimus, which is unsupported by linux), the ACPI, the LegacyUSB and UEFI Boot

this is the last original driver, if you can fix it i'd be very pleased

thanks, do you know how to install? in previous update i put the .fd file on a pendrive and use the fn+esc combination
but here there is an archive with many files

it's a only file *.fd in archive.

[noblex]

no there are 3 .fd files, plus many other files...

[Florin9doi]

Check again. *.fd , not *.fd.(random characters)

i'm new to this but believe that my machine has a lot more potential for gaming. bios is 1.30

ok, i translate the two .## (chinese stuff) and they say "modified" and "original" ... so, the original... is the original but.. the modified and the .fd clean are the same...i guess?

hi, i had success to install the bios, BUT IT IS NOT WHAT I NEED
that bios has only some more options but there is nothing about the uefi boot (i need to disable it, is mandatory) an acpi
i know it is possible to unlock there feature because i saw a guide but i am not able to do it by myself (i am neither english so i do not understand more than the few necessary to have a talk in a forum)... if it's possible i could link that guide here
