BIOS Updates forum

i have an acer travelmate 4152NLCi which uses the bios chip

SST39VF040

Problem:
The owner who is my friend. Flashed the bios incorrectly. it was interrupted during the procedure. It wasnt back up too

I have a willem programmer which i think can program this chip without a problem. But i dont know where i can get the contents of the bios chip

All i can download from acer is *.wph file or a *.bin file which cant be used in the willem programmer.

Any good samaritan that can guide me as to how to reflash this thing? Can anyone help me out?

Thanks.

you can try copy first 512k or 524288B of wph to a file.then flash it by eprom programmer.

Try find a similar laptop user who could dump his machine bios content into a file and send it to you.
