    Hello people , I have one Aspire 1362 WLMi from a friend , and I have get in trouble .

    The laptop was working , with some VGA issues from time to time.
    Like 3D garbage ( issue with the VGA memory ) .
    So in order to fix this issue tried the latest Bios update 1.15 from Windows,
    and Bios become corrupted .

    I did try one fix , of how to make one Crisis disk , I did that ,
    I do have floppy USB drive ... I did turn the small switches 1+2 at on.
    And I do have a flash starting , and the laptop does lots of beeps until it finishes .

    The point is that I tried lots of Bios versions , like 1.14 1.11 0.9 ( the original ) , and looks that no one was able to undo , the issue caused by the 1.15 !!

    In order to do Bios reset , just pulled out the main battery + Bios battery + DC supply ..

    But I stack again at the same issue ..

    Is there something that I am missing ?

    The Crisis tool its from an Acer 5050 , still it does the booting diskette ..
    and looks that it loads normally ..
    I did let it finish , plus 5 minutes ..

    Help if you can .. even by PM :)
