    I have an Acer Travelmate 4070 series and have accidently flashed the BIOS. When I switch on now, there is a black screen and it seems that the laptop is a paperweight now.
    Can anyone help???

    Girl he meant that the BIOS wasn't properly flash and now the laptop won't POST.
    I presume Phoenix BIOS from Acer?
    In that case you need this.
