Hi there
First of all: I've read your rules, and browsed your posts. so if this post is misplaced, plz tell me and don't just delete it. I’m a fists time flasher - plz, be gentle
I'm having some trouble finding the right update and tool + if it's the right way I’m going at it. Here are my stats on the puter I want to flash:
It's an old Acer Aspire with an 200 MHz Intel Pentium cpu, it runs on EDO-ram, and the slot board is separated from the main board, even though its a midi tower. The bus contains 3 x PCI slots and 4 x ISA slots. The name ”Aspire" is printed on the slot board, so I figure it's an Acer board.
Nothing is mentioned on the main board.
BIOS STRING (BIOS V2.0):
If I'm mot mistaking; the BIOS chip is the chip near the battery on the main board. The info on the chip is:
According to your BIOS list it should be a Acer main board. And I should think it’s a PHOENIX Basic input output system.
I've been at Acer's side and found an update from v 2 to v 2.15.
But, I can’t find any info how to flash it, what the update contains, or if it works wit a phoenix bios.
My questions to u are:
But this is a serious thing, and I need confirmation + the info I can’t find.
If anything is missing or I'm doing something wrong - plz tell me.
Thx for ur time…
