Would love input from anyone who has done something similar.

Had Bios Rev. R01-A4
Was trying to update the bios and the system froze on the post screen with an RST/SMART error about the hdd.
Forced a restart at which point the fans and case leds would turn on but the screen would stay black.
Read through the guides on how to get the bios .bin from Acers .cap file and i am unable to figure it out.
Dumped a backup of the bios chip for backup....
