    All good day!
    I apologize for bad English, I use Google as an interpreter, myself from Ukraine.
    I would like to appeal to all owners of the laptop Acer Aspira 8940G. I need a backup of the BIOS of this laptop. It's a backup, not an official update from the acer site. For this update does not contain the entire microcode, but only some updated blocks.Who can help?

    If you are on Windows 7, Universal BIOS Backup Kit will work. I don't think it will work on Windows 10, however.

    Thanks you. But in order to take advantage of this program you need to have a working laptop. And since the website acer is only an update, not a full bios, then it's rather problematic to do it. Therefore, I ask the help of all owners of this device!
