Anyway I downloaded an older version of the Acer BIOS that is made for my Acer TravelMate 6293 notebook and ran the Phoenix WinPhlash tool (WinPhlash.exe).
#Flashing the bios acer drivers#
Many years ago you will need to use a DOS boot disk such as DrDOS with NO drivers loading up in config.sys or autoexec.bat. The latest version BIOS for Acer TravelMate 6293 is v1.41 and the Acer support website allows me to download 4 versions that are older than the current version.įortunately, flashing the BIOS is way easier now because you can do it directly in Windows. I sent the battery back and recieved a new replacement but it’s still got the same problem.įinally, the battery seller/manufacturer told me that this issue is caused by the newer versions of Acer BIOS and I need to send my laptop back to the manufacturer to reset it back to the default factory version. First of all, Windows 7 shows an error “No battery is detected” and the battery LED keeps on blinking orange in color. I recently bought an OEM laptop battery for my Acer notebook and have been experiencing problems with it. Downgrading the BIOS is not something people normally do, but there are times when the older BIOS version works better than the newer/current one and you need to downgrade to it while waiting for a newer, more stable BIOS release. The old saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” applies to updating the BIOS and drivers. The only reason you need to update your BIOS is when your computer is having compatibility issues with other hardware or experiencing problems that are caused by a buggy version of the currently installed BIOS.
