Hello guys,

I have upgraded cpu of my Acer Extensa 5230E from Celeron 900 to Intel Core 2 duo T7700 Merom 65nm , everything works fine , i only have the "02f0 CPU ID: FB No Microcode Update Loaded for Alternate Processor" and and the computer keeps asking f1 to resume or f2 setup at startup.

I've already upgraded bios to the latest avalaible that is 1.36.

Could you please help me and mod amy bios to recognize the microcode? And please eventually also point me in the right direction for flashing the modded bios?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply Kusirintalin, i've already found that thread but i haven't tried to flash my laptop cause that modded bios is forAcer Extensa 5630 while mine is 5230e, i fear that they got different bios, and i risk to brick it.

Thanks the same for your support.

Youre most welcome, someone who is more experienced with these matters should be able to answer that question.
The Extensas seem to have this problem quite frequently.

Please replace original bios file and try to flash it by its utility.
If you can't update bios within windows environment ,please flash it by PHLASH16 within dos environment.

Thanks Genius for the help, i'll give you a feedback as far as i try the flashing.
Do u suggest to try the flashing inside windows or by dos?

Hello Feng,
thanks so much for the modded bios, i flashed it and seems to work like charm!
I'm too happy.
Thanks again for your amazing support.
Take care!

First i made a bootable Pendrive with Rukus, then i copied modded bios and renamed it as BIOS.WPH (otherwise PHLASH16 wouldn't have recognized it), than rebooted laptop with pendrive, under freedos i've flashed bios with PHLASH16.

I'm very glad you get success with your laptop!!
