    Hello

    I have a problem with my acer 6935g, CPU t9400, GPU Nvidia 9600mGT 4gb ddr3.

    Since a few days, it refuses to boot. Fans start, the HDD and the BD reader too.
    But the bios never comes and it refuses to boot on cd etc....
    No activity HDD.

    After multiple attempts of booting, it started with the combination alt+f10 but it worked only only once.

    Would anybody have managed to reflash bios INSYDE in recovery mode?

    Which name given to the file (.fd), which to take and which key for the mode "zombie"

    You could try booting with AC power and battery removed. I have seen cases where broken battery is sending signals which interfere with boot.

    Big problems in the past with the soldering of NVid graphics chips to board. 9600's not the worst by any means but . . If it is accessible press down hard on the graphics chip's heatsink (so pushing chip solder balls against the soldered area on the board) while trying to boot

    Do not go flashing a defective system if the problem is not caused by a previous bad flash or bios edit.
