    hi,

    I updated my 5920G bios with the version of 8313 ( 2008/12/08 ) and after I did, restarted and now it's not working, If I push the power button, only turn on the power display is not showing anything and only dvd drive is making some noise. how can I fix this ? is there any jumper setup or should I send it warranty ?

    Paft, welcome to the forums.
    It sounds like your BIOS flash wasn't successful, which means you'll either need to send it back to Acer for a replacement motherboard, or try to make a crisis recovery USB key (the fact that the DVD drive is making noise sounds like it's not completely bricked). There isn't a jumper to set like in some desktops.
    Please read this topic from post #6 downward to see if you can get out of this without sending the system back.
