    Good to know Acer still bother to update.

    The 6920G also has the new BIOS release - 1.16.
    Just watch, it'll be a throttling fix one year too late. :3

    Well, no documentation in the ZIP.
    Can't flash right now anyway, in the middle of busy times at school.
    Any other daring soul?

    Yesterday I flashed my 8920G to the 1.16 bios version.
    Horror!
    - I can't install my video card drivers anymore
    - numpad aint working anymore

    But I can finally plug something in the expresscard port and have the wifi at the same time.....


    So it ing sucks!! I hope I can revert to older bios and get my graphic card back..

    tut, some say "good old acer", others tell the truth :rolleyes:

    i have a 1mb file called WinPhlash_64-bit_v1.0.2.5.zip but i've not tried it yet, you could google that, or i can upload somewhere.
    i did upgrade my bios when i first got my 6920g (figuring on taking it straight back if it went wrong) but did it from original 32bit vista.
    good luck....

    Reverted to 1.15 and everything is back to normal.
    I flashed under vista 32 bit but I think you can now flash from 64 bit with the winphlash 64!
