Won't rant on about the level of tech suport from Acer but let's say i am not happy.
The wife's AOA150 won't charge the battery and will only run on mains ac. Have googled the issues and it seems the bios it is running (V3301) is notorious for failing to charge the 6 cell batteries if they run dead. A quick bios update to (V3310) does the trick or so the forums say! Acer deny anything of the sort and say that it's the battery and I have to buy a over priced one from them! Not on your chuffing nelly mate.
So d/l latest bios, chucked that and flashit.exe on a usb drive pen, renamed the 3310.fd file to zg5ia32.fd as per intructions on acer's and several other sites. Then followed steps to flash bios and I think it works as the screen stays blank and the memory pen lights up as if data is being read but when i go back into the bios and syste, menu's they both still say the bios is 3301, so it hasn't worked.
Can anyone help? Please?
