Acer Mini Screen blank, acer One screen blank

Acer Mini Screen blank, acer One screen blank

Here is the solution for acer mini screen blank, but the power and other lights are on. It is not motherboard problem, but BIOS problem. It is very easy to fix it, just follow the following steps carefully :

You need a flash USB...

1) Format a USB memory key with the FAT mode.
2) Download the latest version of the BIOS from Acer support website:
* HERE if you have a Aspire One A110
acer-euro. com/drivers/ notebook/ as_one_110. html

* Here for Aspire One A150
http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_one_150.html
3) Extract the files from the zip and put both the FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file in the root directory of the memory key or just simply in the USB.
4) Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD and then remove the disk.
5) Turn the AA1 off, insert the battery and connect the AC adapter.
6) Insert the USB Memory Key into one of the USB port of the Aspire One.
7) Press Fn+Esc, keep it pressed and press the power button to turn the AA1 on.
8) Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds, the power button will be blinking.
9) Press the power button once. The AA1 will start the BIOS flash, do not interrupt for any reason. After some minutes the power button will stop blinking, and then the AA1 will reboot. Wait till the AA1 has completed all this operations.

***The Bios File is the file which is written ZG5_114.fd, this is the one that you need to rename.
*** Make sure you reformat the USB to FAT or FAT32 before using. How? Plug the USB then go to my computer and find the USB, click right-reformat..in windows xp only one choice which is FAT32 and it is fine.
*** Try to plug the USB on the left side of the NEtbook, it works better.
*** At this time the latest BIOS is V.3114

Good Luck
