    Hi to all and thanks for any replay.
    I have read all the indication for a bios recovery, but i had no fortune :(

    this is the step that i made to make the aspire 1605LM dead (they are a few ;) )
    - I downloaded the firmware from the acer website under support
    - selected the notebook 1600 series
    - unzipped the file
    - executed the file
    - the program confirmed the saccessful operation asking for reboot
    - reboot the notebook
    - black screen
    - waiting ... ( maybe it was doing something)
    - waiting always looking the black screen ...
    - Damn!!
    - i noticed that the led of dvd-rom is blinking ... :confused:
    - after a power-off - power-on cicle i started to cry :(

    then i found this intersting forum and tried the solution here presented unfortunaly without success.

    Anyone have suggestion?

    Thanks again to all!!

    Hi there :)

    It looks that you did everything by the book , but now , other than help in words , you need the proper Bios for you laptop too.

    The one that truly works .

    Its best to contact ACER , to give you directions how to send it, to them.

    Check the index sticky, you can find some BIOS recovery threads there.
