Hello, BDMaster,
Thank you for your fast reply. Unfortunately, when i was flashing the original BIOS from you, the installer said "This BIOS is not for your Notebook PC", then the installer closed.
But when i run the original BIOS from the link i gave earlier, the install process has no problem. I was flashing the original BIOS from windows.

I noticed something, the file name you gave me was "Q1VZC217", but the file from acer link was "HB2V217". Is that the problem?

For your information, this BIOS already installed since i bought the laptop, so i never upgrade it from v1.xx. It's 2.17 from the store.

I hope you can get back to me soon
Thanks

Hi, BDMaster
I have followed every step that you gave me. I made the USB DOS exactly like your tutorial in the rar file, then i copy the contents of the "modified" folder to the USB (i copy the contents without the folder). After that, i boot into legacy BIOS and disable Secure Boot.

This was the result:

I failed to flash the BIOS. Please get back to me as soon as possible, thanks
PS. I'm not really understand what you mean by "Original (non modified) same version bios MUST be flashed already!" So, i have done nothing to the bios in the "original" folder.
Sorry, if i asked too many questions. I know nothing about BIOS before. Please help.
