      I thought they were only updates. Anyway, never mind as it was a different problem. The separate twin USB board was damaged. On starting the symptoms were that the laptop power LED would light up, the fan would keep spinning but no video display. Once I removed that USB board it booted up fine. The only way I found out was that I had another Acer laptop with a known bad USB board (obvious physical damage) and I changed them over. Then the good laptop wouldn't boot! Then I went back to the original laptop and it booted fine without the USB board.
      The things that happen.........

        Acer Aspire 5920G - Requesting Modded BIOS (9600M GT) from .WPH for CH341A Flasher
        by EbrahimSiami
        Hello everyone,
        I need help with my Acer Aspire 5920G laptop. Its original GeForce 8600M GT graphics card failed, so I replaced it with an Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT MXM card.

        **Problem:** The laptop powers on, but there is no display (black screen) on either the internal LCD or external monitor. This indicates a BIOS compatibility issue with the new graphics card.

        **What I have tried so far:**
        1. I have my **original stock BIOS dump (1MB .BIN file)** from my laptop, which works and allows the laptop to power on normally (but no display with 9600M...

        Acer Aspire 1 A115-32-C28P BIOS needed please
        by NecroFlex
        I have an Acer Aspire 1 A115-32-C28P laptop that tries to boot for 5s and then shuts off. (Mobo name GH5JJ/GH7JJ LA-K701P Rev C1)

        I suspect the BIOS might be the issue, but ACER website doesn't come with a BIN file, only an EXE that doesn't contain the full image. I tried searching for a BIOS bin but no luck.

        I have attached both the bios i read from the chip and the latest ACER bios. Thanks for any help in advance!...
