Hi guys, hope somebody is able to help as this is a relatively new machine.
Followed the BIOS upgrade instructions but something must have gone wrong.
All i get now is the fan on and a blue and red LED flashing at the front and the power button flashing.
I did try following the crisis recover thread but to no avail.
Does anyone if for sure if the this model can be recovered from a bad flash?
Also i noticed the original ROM file i was asked to use (replace BIOS.WPH) was 4Mb where most of the modded ROMs are a lot smaller.
Am i right in extracting the JE40122.ROM from the DOS directory and renaming it BIOS.WPH?
Aslo when i press Fn and Esc, the thumb drive lights up for a few seconds then does nothing.
Any pointers appreciated.

In the new firmware you don't rename it as BIOS.WPH.
The emergency name is usually the same. -
Thanks for your help but im still having problems.
I have a FAT formatted 512MB USB thumb drive
I have ran the Acer Aspire 9420 BIOS Recovery Wincris.exe
I then copied over the latest BIOS from Acer web site to the root of the thumbdrive.
The thumb drive now has the following files:-
BIOS.WPH
JE40122.ROM
MINIDOS.SYS
PHLASH16.EXE
Power up the laptop holding Fn and Esc.
The only thing that happens is the Blue and Red LED alternate.
Am i doing something wrong? -
I notice there are two different ways to recover crashed BIOS. One is the phoenx recovery, the other is the Wincris.
Which one should i be using?
Also when people refer to the correct BIOS, can i assume that the .ROM file is the BIOS or is that something else?

When I checked using phoenixtool says: Insyde BIOS not phoenix.
I don't understand why do you assume it is Phoenix?
Based on understanding of Insyde BIOS recovery filenames it should be
either JE40x64.fd or JE40122x64.fd. -
Sorry i assumed this model had a phoenix bioas based on what aother user had posted. I will double check that now.
Where do i get the BIOS files you mentioned from?
Thanks again
Hmm maybe i should point out that my Acer laptop is from Singapore. I notice on the Acer euro site that many of the BIOS downloads include the .FD files. For the Singapore download it give a ROM file only.
Anybody know where i can get the FD file for my model ?
Thanks -
usb and dvd does not work, although new boards crisis firmware is old, it looks for a floppy
recovered asus/acer laptops with just the rom file in a usb floppy drive -
my acer aspire 4750 (malaysia) got blank screen death..
problem occured after installed update bios.
acer 4750 has Phoenix SecureCore Tiano.
how to recover it? -
Try this file: request download ticket | ifile.it
Burn it to a CD, or copy to a FAT pendrive.
No USB floppy drive or Crisis Disk utility needed - Phoenix SecureCore Tiano is not PhoenixBIOS (in fact, it is not even a BIOS at all - it is actually an EDK-II derivative UEFI firmware).
Note that this image will not restore your BIOS - it will be loaded as a temporary BIOS allowing you to boot to an operating system and flash a new BIOS image.
