Acer Travelmate 290 no boot
Posted: Fri May 26, 2017 10:19 pm
Hi guys, I'm desperate looking all forums to find the way to get this laptop (piece of s...) booting up and running, I had problems with the machine as it was randomly rebooting, then I thought "flashing the bios will solve the problem..." and when it was at the middle of the process (at Windows desktop), the computer did reboot and there's no way to boot up the bios anymore just makes short beeps constantly, no video on screen.
It has (or must say had) an Insyde Mobile PRO bios, 2.00
I downloaded the bios I found, but when I try to open with the phoenix tool the message I got is: "No Phoenix/insyde/dell Bios"
I made the floppy with Wincris and the bios renamed in someways Bios.wph, and with the original name (at same time)
I was trying to flash BIOS with this disk with a USB floppy (I made combination Win+fn+Esc), the floppy was reading, but after 1 hour working no progress, only the beeps got spaced in time at something like half an hour? I just shutdown the computer as I was going to sleep and no progress at all, can anyone help to get this b... up?
Thanks in advance!!
