This appears to be a problem caused by the update thAT WAS issued for the BIOS (NOT the CMOS!) on the Acer Travelmates.
I downloaded the new bios from acer, as suggested by them. Followed the instructions for updateing the BIOS to the letter. The screen displayed the whole process of removing the old bios files and also the installing and saving of the 17 new files that were supplied with the update.
After the process was completed a memo came up stating that the laptop had to be re-booted for the changes to take effect. Did the normal of telling it to restart now and that was the last time anything appeared on my screen! Depending on how your PC is configured this process can actually be done without your knowledge ! ( IF you have things set to install ALL updates/upgrades automatically!)
After lots of enquiries I am led to believe that I need to either replace the motherboard or try and reset the bios by moving a switch on the motherboard. No one has been able top point me to the correct switch yet!
THIS PROBLEM RELATES TO SEVERAL MAKES OF LAPTOP ALL USING THE SAME BIOS!
If you find a "fix" please put it on this site!
As the bios has to run BEFORE anything else, we are in a catch 22 situation! Cannot install a new Application or restore the old settings until the bios actually BOOTS!....Damn!
