    Hey.

    I can't get my acer to boot. Everything starts up but the screen remains black.
    I tried the fn+esc with a usb stick with new BIOS. It starts reading the usb stick but after few sec it turns off the pc.
    I don't know if that can be because the BIOS file name is wrong or something..
    I have search the web and tried different names for the BIOS with no luck.... getting frustrated. :confused:

    I hope you can help me!

    thx!!
