вот так пробовал не помогло

вот так чувак востановил нашI bricked my eMachines E730G by trying to use the Windows flash utility. It errored out with "IHISI: flash write error in SMI!", and froze the machine. Subsequent boots just made the fan spin up for a few seconds, then nothing (powerlight on, that's it).

I first tried with:
1. Putting the NEW70123.fd file as NEW70X64.fd on a USB 4GB stick I had lying around. I used the tool linked in the first post to find out what the name of the file on the USB stick should be.
2. Pulling out the battery and power cable.
3. Holding FN-Esc while putting the power cable back.
4. While still holding FN-Esc, pushing the power button.
5. Released FN-Esc after a few seconds.

Now I could see that it was reading off of the USB stick. The fan was spinning like crazy for the full 20 minutes I left it, waiting for some progress. It didn't seem to work though. The machine didn't reboot or shut down by itself after the stipulated 2-5 minutes. It just kept going.

HOWEVER!
I then tried to put the file on a 2GB micro-sd card that I put in a tiny USB card reader. Formatted it as FAT32 first. Now it took about 90 seconds, and the machine beeped, and then rebooted into Windows without problems. Successел

Just registered here to say thanks

I have been trying for 3 days to get my nephew's Acer aspire 5334 working again. After numerous attempts at trying different combinations of different BIOS files on different media (3 different memory sticks, burning CD's, and buying a USB floppy drive from Ebay), by reading this thread I finally managed to bring it back from the dead.

The problem was that, although I knew the right proceedure, I couldn't work out what the file should be renamed to. Using andyp's Phoenix Tool 1.93 to read the latest BIOS file from Acer's website, I now know that it's PAWF5x64.fd. I put this on a memory stick & it worked.

Just saved my nephew from having to fork out a few hundred pounds for a new laptop. He had previously taken it into a computer repair shop, who told him that it needed a new mother board!

Thanks again.
