It seems that a lot of people had success reflashing the BIOS from a USB drive using tools provided by Acer. After reading many stories of warranty repair or replacement, I was just about to dig up my receipts when I found this post: Re: Dead aspire one. I found this thread Dead aspire one and it looked like many others had a similar experience. I went to the Acer Aspire One User Forum and started looking thru the Hardware section. No POST, no BIOS, no hard drive light activity, just the power button LED on and the fan running fast. It won’t hurt anything, just a couple extra steps.Īfter a normal restart yesterday, my Aspire One booted into just a black screen. Updated : After doing this a few times and reading some of the user comments, I’ve realized that you don’t need to use UNetbootin.

Updated : If you can still boot into Windows, see Aspire One Black Screen of Death – Part 2 for a new utility from Acer that makes an update to the BIOS on a working Aspire One a lot easier.īased on the amount of traffic this post still gets, and other sites with articles describing the same problem & solution, there are still lots of Aspire One users who continue to have the same problem, I’ve updated the instructions, with my comments below, and a provided a download of the last BIOS file from Acer’s site, with the BIOS file renamed and in the Dos_Flash directory to make easier & faster to get your netbook running again.
