    Need help, please:

    During BIOS upgrade my Acer Travelmate 292LMi hung up and now it isn't working :(

    I found information about BIOS recovery for another acer models, but my notebook have Insyde bios, which contains crisis recovery procedure, but it is undocumented :(

    I've discovered that my notebook when powered up with Fn and B keys pressed tries to read floppy and searches a file named crext.chb. I renamed original BIOS to crext.chb, but still have no results - notebook reading this file, and nothing happens, even no beeps during this action.

    Can anyone help me with this problem?
