Update Bios in Acer Laptops (Acer Aspire One AOA110 or AOA150)

Updating the BIOS will require a USB flash drive to store the BIOS information on during the update. To perform the update to the BIOS:

1. From the drivers home page, click Netbook and select your series and product.
2. Click on the BIOS tab and download and extract the latest BIOS for the netbook.
3. The files required will be in the Dos_Flash subdirectory.
4. Rename the BIOS file from 3310.fd to zg5ia32.fd.
5. Copy zg5ia32.fd and Flashit.exe to the USB flash drive
6. Ensure that the AC adapter is plugged in.
7. Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port.
8. Press and hold down the Fn and the Esc keys together and press the power button.
9. When the netbook's power light comes on, wait a few seconds and release the Fn and Esc keys.
10. After the keys have been released the power light will start to blink.
11. During the BIOS update process the display will be blank.
12. Let the unit run and after approximately 1 to 7 minutes, the unit should reboot and the BIOS will be updated.

If the unit fails to reboot, or the BIOS was not updated successfully, try the steps again. If the problem persists, contact Acer support.
