Hi, friend

Can you send me the bios file v.1.17 because I cannot download it via FTP. It doesn't exist any more.

Hi guys!
I have an old aspire 7720z ick70. I tried to update my bios from 1.14 to 1.45 and while the flashing the device stops suddenly. I wait for a couple of hours and nothing works (tochpad, keyboard, power button...) so I get the battery out and get it on again. Now nothing works (power  button, power leds...nothing).
Searching by forums I have found that there is a key-treak to wake up the notebook and re-flash the bios with a usb pendrive, but I can´t found the treak for my device.
Could somebody help me, please?
Thanks in advance.

P.S.: sorry about my english...I think is not so good.

Thanks so much for this explanation. Call me a newbie, but I didn't know that you could flash the bios from an .exe file through DOS. Works great.

(Acer Aspire 5515) I was checking outthis BIOS updage instructions and cant seem to figure out what files to place on the flash drive or what to rename them. My situation currently is that I get the black screen of death and I cant update in Windows 7 Ultimate which I currently have installed.
It would be amazing if you can help me for I have been at this for days.
The files in the bios zip folder are:

CK MS-DOS Application
Flash32     Application
KAW6100     Windows Batch File
KAW6100.ROM     ROM File
KAW6100.WPH     WPH File
phlash16    Application
readme Text Document(contains no instructions)

Thanx in advance for anyone who can help!
