    the laptop is not in warranty more.
    the problam, is the laptop doesn't work.
    in the last week i doing update to my bios to v1.33
    in o/s windows 7 with acer driver and softwere,
    in the middle of the process the update stop {no sofwere runing in background'} the computer keep working for a few minute,and after is off and on again it stop working ,no screen,no beep,not any respon's.
    i read in your web about this problem and i going and buy floppey usb and with that i try to do criss recovery to the bios,but the thing not going good {i make recovery diskette with the win-crises'put hi, on the floppey-usb'push fn+esc,plugin in the ac,continues push on fn+esc,push on the on\off key, continues push on fn+esc,he power is wake up and starting to read from the floppey 'but after 2-3 minute of reading it is stop to read from the floppey but the power is still on for up then a hour,
    but after i do manual reset the problem is stiil there.
    i try this proccese for a several time.

    Ii going to the coumputer lab of acer retailer ,them told me that the policy of them is not to repair bios problem only to replace to new mother-board and that will cost me over then 300 $, idont understand why them can not just to repair my bios or burn new one,i want to pay but i dont think that will be honorable,I am in my profession MCITP 2008 and Pc Technician with diploma of microsoft and i still dont know what to do now
