I've gt an Acer 5942g notebook with Hm55 motherboard. When i updated the bios something went wrong and after the update process restarted the notebook i've got an blank display, no bios load, just ventillator doing something.
I tried make my notebook bios in crisis mode(fn+esc bill) but i can't make a good crisis drive with wincrisis becaouse in my bios files i've got two .fd files and one .rom (i dont know is my bios is Phoenix or Insydie but i think its insydie becaouse in my bios in the windows folder the program what i used for the update, the name is Insydie update so i dont know is the wincrisis good for this.). and the wincrisis program needs an .fd and a .bin file or a .wph bios file and i dont have the .bin and either the .wph. I tried just copy the .fd file in a formatted fat32 usb drive and in crisismode but it seem not do anything. Somwhere i found about i should rename the bios file but i don't know what the name i should add for it and in the service gouide for the notebook in the chapter where tehere the bios rocever i find the steps but i cannot do it becaouse it sad make a winciris crisis disk but i cant do it and "Copy the KAYF0X64.fd BIOS file into USB flash disk root directory." but i dont have bios file with the same name and if I rename my file it not works too.
I hope i can do it whitout get off the CMOS batter becaous its difficult to find and without replace the Bios chip. :(
Sorry my bad english!
Thanks for the help!

-Plug the Flash Drive to the USB on the left hand side
-Start notebook in Crisis mode
-Pendrive led started activity
-2-3 minutes later notebook restart and done.:D

This is indeed very precious information t_krisztian95. :bounce:
Thank you very much for it.
Have a great 2015 with good health. God bless you.

P.S- This information should be adapted to each situation, computer model and bios version. read both posts careful and think. Don´t give up.

ACER SUCKS, they don´t give almost any information about bios recover and we all know why ....
