    Hi Folks,
    New to forum, have Acer as5672 WLMi and just noticed new Bios on Acer download site. There does not appear to be instructions on installing. Anyone know how to install. Don't want to mess up my machine.
    Thanks

    If it works the same way as for the 8204, unzip the archive and see if winphlash is included in it. If not, it should be on the Acer ftp site to download. Install winphlash and run it. Point it to the relevant file in the unzipped BIOS directory (it'll guide you). Reboot and you're done. It's pretty straightforward - I've updated twice since Feb.
