    to get help here you'll need to post in the correct forum. you *might* also get better help if you can be more descriptive about the problem.

    did your battery die during the update? did the update seem to work or did it fail? etc.

    Also, and I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, next time you ask a question, use a more descriptive post title like "Acer 2930 failure after updating BIOS" etc. Please help me tells me nothing of what the post is about, so many who might know about BIOS crisis fixing won't look at it. Again, just a suggestion. Definitely look up BIOS Crisis disk.

    See here for instructions on how to do a BIOS recovery. That is assuming your laptop uses Phoenix BIOS which is the most common one in Acer notebooks.
    I've changed the title to fit the situation.
    Also please use proper English, not only using chat-lingo is not allowed but it's also rather hard to understand for some of us.
