    my notebook when I press the power button nothing happens only lights up the blue LED button for 2 seconds and then turns off forever with no signs of life. with the fn + esc turns on the fan part of the screen remains nerro, but was not able to restore the bios with usb key, do not read any I've tried in all 4 doors, but without any success and with 4 different usb key. I also tried to burn the only bios files .FD on cd-rom but nothing. At this point I think I make a mistake of burning.
    which bios files I need to burn?
    which is the software with which I burn?
    what is the procedure for burning software?

    Do you have other suggestions?
    thanks

    Why do you think is even the BIOS? BIOSes do not go bad over time - if you haven't botched a BIOS flash - than it's not a BIOS issue.
    Most likely a mobo failure.

    I also have a 5935g which had a similar issue. You might be doing the Insyde BIOS recovery method wrong. Take a look at this thread I made a while back. ellric's posts will help you. http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/753130-how-do-i-integrate-vbios-into-acer-aspire-5935g.html

    If that isn't the case, your GPU is most likely fried. Thankfully, the 5935g is quite upgradeble. Put a Firepro m4000, aka "Radeon 7770m" into it if you want a major performance boost. They sell for only $80 on aliexpress. Part number is PR80C. Do not buy any other as they have no ROM chip. The 5935g will refuse to work with a non-rommed card. Not even SBIOS mods will work. It's either a rommed card, or nothing.

    hello and thanks for the help,
    unfortunately I can not understand if it is the gpu or something else, the proedura of crisis recovery does not work, does not read the usb-key (the LED of the USB-key that indicates the reading does not turn on) I tried in all the ways I've even unplugged the cd-rom for fear that physically inhibited access from the USB port. I can explain how well you have done to prepare the usb key? how you formatted? which files you've entered? in which you have inserted the USB port?

    I would do this test before decreeing the death of the video card might otherwise be other things like mainboard, cpu etc.

    can u help me?
    BR

    Have you tried all the USB ports? I used the one on the top-right. If that doesn't work, chances are that the GPU is fried.
