acer 5535, mod.#MS2254, MB#MBAUA01001, green power light, sound of cd drive starting, and apparently dead screen.
Hai,
There is a very easy to deal with the black screen problem and you need not bother with the bios for the moment.The first thing is to make your screen visible then everything will work out right. I am saying this out of experience, brought back 4 computers back to life.
The problem is with the heat distribution system on your laptop, the GPU is the solely responsible for the lighting up the screen, but thermal buildup on it will cut off the video link to the screen.
The cure is simple, remove all attached devices like dvd rom,memory modules,HDDs,wireless card, keyboard, and battery disconnect the fan and remove the heatsink. remove and clean present thermal paste or pads. Realese the lock of the CPU but do not remove it. only give it a slight shake and lock it immediately. Use copper shims 1 mm for CPU and 1.5 mm for GPU shims with fresh thermel paste and attach the heatsink and fan but do not plug the fan in or any other devices. Plug the charger and press power button, Power lite will be on and no other activity will seen but if you feel the heatsink you will feel it getting hot, let it be till the power switches off automatically. then let it cool down for about 20 minutes. fix all divices back including the fan. and start your laptop it will bootup normally. Then you could update your bios.
This worked form me with several computers I hope it will work with yours

Confused

Hi All - I'm not very experienced on forums so will try and be as concise as possible. I am fairly experienced in laptop rebuilds but a bit careless occasionally.

I have an Acer Aspire 5520G which I was rebuilding (Vista 32-bit) for someone and in the process of downloading and installing the drivers from the Acer site I also included flashing the BIOS to bring it up to date.

I don't know hat happened to interrupt the process but it didn't complete and it now shows all the symptoms of BIOS corruption - turns on and fan starts and it attempts to start from both the Optical and Hard drives but doesn't POST and goes into a loop and just repeats the process.

I have attempted all sorts of 'remedies' from here without success.

I have an external USB floppy drive and have got past the Error N.5 stage of Winimage and am now stuck because I can't copy the BIOS.WPH from the extract from 5535.zip as it is 2+Mb. MINIDOS.SYS and PHLASH16.EXE are already on it.

It appears that the procedure using the USB drive may work as it is the only media which (using fn+Esc) actually clicks into action and starts to read a floppy.

Can someone please explain how a 2Gb BIOS.WPH file can be compressed enough to go on a 1.44Mb floppy and be unpacked on the fly when it connects. Otherwise how on earth is the floppy remedy supposed to work.

Many thanks for any help sent.
