[Request] Acer Aspire E5-572G-5577 Bios FD file
#1
Hi everyone.

Yesterday this fine laptop did the "sleeping beauty" on me. It went to sleep and did not wake up again.
Googling around I've noted that the BIOS might be corrupted / dead. Curious case is that nobody did any Bios Upgrade / update on it.

So, going to the ACER website to download the bios got me into the "missing FD / BIN" file from the archive. (http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/...ER&SC=PA_6)

I tried to download all the BIOS updates (1.02 up to 1.06) but no FD/Bin files were included in the archive or the packed EXE file.

bumping from thread to thread, i found the 1.06 BIOS version (https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-R...d-Settings) that contained a BIN file.

Got the BIN file, FLASHIT.EXE on an 4GB USB drive; Formatted it FAT and FAT32 (multiple flashing attempts), renamed the Bin file to different names (isflash.bin; Z5WAW106.bin; Z5WAW106.FD). The phoenix tool identified the name as "Z5WAW106.F?". Windows does not allow the ? character to be used in filenames or extensions.

In the end, the laptop goes into the flash recovery mode, but runs for 30 seconds and shuts down. the same happens with or without the USB drive connected.

I'm guessing (that's what I'm left with) that the BIOS version I've found is not what I need or the filename is wrong.


Any help with other BIOS versions (1.02, 1.03, 1.04, 1.05) or filename suggestions is highly appreciated.


Thanks in advance!

Little update:

I managed to get my hands on the 1.02 version of the isflash.bin file.
Again, I threw it in the Phoenix tool. Again it generated a filename of "Z5WAWX64.F?". Renamed it in all the filenames that i could think of.

The question mark is not a supported character in Windows... so... starting a Linux Live CD, I managed to rename the file to Z5WAWX64.F? . now, copying the file back to the flash drive, the filename was automatically changed to Z5WAWX64.F_

Tried to flash it like that, but again to no avail.

I'm starting to think that either the flash procedure does not work, the filename is not good, the USB drive is not accessed (no LED on it to know for sure  Sad ) or just that the motherboard is just "dead".

Any ideas would be of great help.
If anything else, i'll be contacting Tech Support to send the notebook in service. (I wanted to avoid that so i can keep my data on the harddrive).

Thanks.

"little" update:
-------------------------------------

I finally had the heart to take la laptop to the ACER Service.

Status: "Dead motherboard"

The service changed the motherboard and now the laptop lives again. Luckily the laptop was still in the warranty period.

Guess that's one way to "fix" it.

Cheers guys!

(I'd like the thread to be closed / archived, Thank You!)

In case someone still needs this, the correct filename is "Z5WAWX64.FD".
