Maybe somebody can help me.
I did a Bios Update on my notebook (Acer Aspire 8930G - 864G64Bn) and now there is a problem. (Updated from V1.10 to V 1.13 from Acer page)
I cannot go to the Bios menue and also the notebook do not continue after
the first start screen.
Stopps at the first screen with the manufacturer logo.
And then it says just press F2 for Bios.
If I don´t press F2, it says at this screen.
If I press F2 it says Please Wait for hours and nothing happens.

Is there a possibility to reset the bios with an external floppy drive, USB or CD or so? I found here several tutorials for older Acer models. Are they working also for my notebook. Problem is that in every tutorial the guys talking about to replace the bios.wph file. But on the files I can download from Acer there is no such file included in the bios versions.

Id already the reset with pushing the power button for 30 seconds. Also I contacted Acer and they told me they can fix it but I´m wondering if there is something I can do, because I need this notebook for buisness, and I cannot afford it to be without it for 2 or 3 weeks.

Please help me!

You will have to borrow one then. Don't forget to take the original receipt of purchase when you go to the service center.
