Hi,
I have the acer extensa 5620 also, and I'm interested on that BIOS update. I can't find this update on acer.com, where can I download it?

Thanks

 

Try this ACER FTP
ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/notebook/extensa_5620/

 

Thanks, found it 5 min after asking =b
For some reason there are no BIOS on the "Americas" version of acer.com, but there are on the european version.
Now I have to figure out how to flash this without having a windows installed

 

Hi , does anyone know if the cpu can be uprated for this notebook , does the latest bios support a higher spec cpu , thanks

 

hi, how was the v1.31 bios?

 

I load 1.31 on friend new extens killed mouse? did any you load no issues?

 

I've upgraded mine to a T7300 Core 2 Duo, I know you can at least go up to a T7700 or higher.

 

I tried 1.29 and I had very frequent hangs on Linux related to using the audio. In the 1.31 changelog it says that the keyboard handling code is updated (I noticed that certain key combinations don't respond really fast, so that might be it) and it fixes hanging when coming out of sleep mode (which happens to me).
I'm going to wait, since they're releasing versions quite often.

Does anyone know what would be the limit of memory flashes the BIOS flash can handle? I already did original -> 1.22 -> 1.29 -> 1.22 (three flashes).
