BAD BIOS FLASH need help asap, quick question!

hi my acer aspire 7520 is now a brick after a bad flash, my question is if i was to fit a new pre-flashed chip onto my board would it just reboot back up? i dont want to bother with the recover crap as there is too many to work out lol, thanks in advance!

 

If you have a preflashed chip, then you just have to reset bios, and it should boot right up.

I can see a possible way round it... just depend how screwed it is.

::note:: the only way I found people have fixed a complete non start corrupt bios flash is by returning it to acer for motherboard replacement... great eh?

glad I saw this thread.. I will never buy one of these piles of junk!!!

 

it is a good lappy, it does start up with fans and lights just no screen.
