Hi everyone!
So today i flashed a modded bios to my laptop and it worked flawlessly!! I got some cool neat features and I was about to change many more settings than I thought I could. The only thing I was interested for now was changing the video RAM on my laptop.
I changed it from 128MB to I beliebe 1028MB (I believe it was 1028MB) and I also changed something about intergraded graphics option from "Auto" to just "Enabled" I restarted my laptop and when it rebooted, the laptop keyboard lit up, CD drive led flashed like normal, fan was going and hard drive sounded like it was spinning ( not like it was being in use just spinning) but the screen remained black. I turned off my laptop to see if that would fix it but it didn't - no BIOS splash screen just remained black.
I tried to follow the instructions from here: Insyde BIOS Recovery but it didn't seem to work, my laptop's lights turned on and the fan was working but my USB flash drive didn't blink except when I pressed the power button.
Also the most recent BIOS file from Acer only included a .exe to flash within windows which is useless for me because I can't get even get passed the BIOS
I tried using an OLD bios download that acer had that had a DOS folder with an .fd file, tried looking up the name that the file should be renamed but it seems like the name was already the same, and tried to flash via usb but that didn't seem to work.
I have an Acer Aspire M5-581T the most recent BIOS from the Acer website is here the old one with the .fd file that I tried is here
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
