Hello I'm trying to repair my nephews PC. Not sure what happened but there is nothing on the display, PC turns on as soon as power supply is plugged in and I get 2 beeps. 1 long beep and 1 short beep. I posted on Acer forums and they told me its Bios Failure/Bios Damaged.
I tried fixing the bios using a USB to reflash. I tried all 3 bios versions available. R01-A1 and R01-A3 make the computer reboot over and over. R01-A4 doesnt reboot the computer so assuming that is the correct Bios. How long does it usually take to reflash the BIOS? Should I just leave it on for a couple of hours as the display isnt working? Also on the Acer website there is a Firmware download with the rom file Roadster_V102_0604.bin should I try this one instead?
I ordered a Ch431A to give that a try as well but I cant find the BIOS chip and have never done this before but should be able to do it if I watch a decent video. Please help!
