I was trying to update the bios to th latest version, but someting was wrong and now my screen is black!

I've tried the MACLES bios recovery http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/acer ... very.html, but the power button continue blinking!
Who can help me?

... I'm crying

in the service manual I red:
BIOS Recovery by Crisis Disk

BIOS Recovery Boot Block:
BIOS Recovery Boot Block is a special block of BIOS. It is used to boot up the system with minimum BIOS
initialization. Users can enable this feature to restore the BIOS firmware to a successful one once the previous
BIOS flashing process failed.
BIOS Recovery Hotkey:
The system provides a function hotkey: Fn+Esc, for enable BIOS Recovery process when system is powered
on during BIOS POST. To use this function, it is strongly recommended to have the AC adapter and Battery
present. If this function is enabled, the system will force the BIOS to enter a special BIOS block, called Boot
Block.
Steps for BIOS Recovery from USB Storage:
Before doing this, prepare the Crisis USB key. The Crisis USB key could be made by executing the Crisis Disk
program in another system with Windows XP OS.
Follow the steps below:
1. Save ROM file (file name: JAL90x64.fd) to the root directory of USB storage.
2. Plug USB storage into USB port.
3. Press Fn + ESC button then plug in AC.
The Power button flashes once.
4. Press Power button to initiate system CRISIS mode.
When CRISIS is complete, the system auto restarts with a workable BIOS.
5. Update the latest version BIOS for this machine by regular BIOS flashing process.

where I can find the BIOS Recovery by Crisis Disk ?

Who can help me ?!?!?!?

I think the crisis disk program is on the recovery cd you got with your acer one. if not it's available for download at the acer website.
