    Acer's service guide is in Google search, there's a BIOS recovery procedure in it. Search for "Acer Extensa 5235 BIOS Recovery".

    this is what Extensa 5635/5635Z/5235 Service Guide says on how to recover:
    Steps for BIOS Recovery from USB Storage:
    Before doing this, prepare the Crisis USB key. The Crisis USB key can be made by executing the Crisis Disk
    program in another system with Windows XP OS.
    Follow the steps below:
    1. Save the ROM file along with Fla.exe (BIOS flash tool) to the root directory of the USB storage disk.
    2. Plug USB storage disk into the USB port.
    3. Press Fn + ESC + Power buttons. Remove your finger from t he Power button but keep the Fn + Esc keys
    pressed till the Power button flashes once.

    I have downloaded all bios versions for extensa 5235 and i cant find any file called "Fla.exe" (BIOS flash tool).
    i am confused dont know what to do,all help is welcome.
