Re: Acer Aspire XC-603 BIOS file
I'd just like to add that the programming wasn't working ie. failing to verify, using AS programmer and a CH341A until I firstly, removed the CMOS battery (better result but still failed) and then removed the jumper near the CMOS battery. Perhaps would have worked also just removing the jumper.

Re: Acer Aspire XC-603 BIOS file
Great !! I now have a functioning machine again. Thank you both SMDFlea and Lisa Su for the BIOS dump. I have noticed that it is a Legacy BIOS. I used MBR2GPT conversion tool to then change it to EFI so I could re-load my System Image Backup that I had made before the problem occurred. It has taken me a long time to resolve this and I'm very happy to not have ditched the motherboard like many people were suggesting. I now have experience using a CH341A programmer as well. This forum is the best it seems! Regards and thanks again....less landfill,...

Acer Aspire XC-603 BIOS file
Hi, I am after a BIOS .bin or .fd file for an Acer Aspire XC-603. I cannot seem to extract anything from Acer's relevant BIOS zip file. It has a .exe file but I cannot get what I need to re-program my bricked system using a CH341 programmer. I have "half-run" the .exe and looked in the App data/Temp folder but with no luck. I'm wondering also if Acer BIOS files are complete firmwares that can be used for flashing or just updates ? I have atatched the one with the earliest publish date. Thanks for everyone's help and time....

Re: Acer Aspire XC-603 BIOS file
Hi, thanks for responding. No I have no original BIOS image. An attempted update fried it, it seems. Can I get the whole BIOS file from Acer or just the updates?

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hi, JimoB! Amongst other things I'm a repair addict. Many things get fixed and others, well NOT! The successes make the failures worth it though. This seems like a really collaborative forum and I'm looking forward to getting into it ASAP. I think this is where I post my introduction. Thanks everyone!
