Not entirely convinced a BIOS will help here yet...symptoms are with charger and battery connected I get 5 blinks of the power LED (which apparently means dead battery), but with the battery removed and after numerous attempts to drain residual power and reset the BIOS, the laptop won't turn on on mains power only either (no blinks...just completely unresponsive).
Probably going to order a new battery just in case for some reason these only boot with a good battery connected, but all evidence I find suggests these should boot on mains power alone.
I've saved a dump of the BIOS image from the chip (attached) but I'm unable to find another BIOS image anywhere.
I've downloaded the latest BIOS exe from Acer (also in RAR file attached) and extracted the files contained within but the file in there isn't usable in it's current form...unsure as to whether this can be modified to work or not as I'm fairly new to this BIOS flashing malarkey!
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Alan
