Updated BIOS (to ver0.3310) did NOT correct problem. But I did learn
how to update the BIOS. I would like to know more about how the updated
BIOS correct the problem as I now have the most current version of the
BIOS and I still have the problem.
I guess now I will have to do the grub update method to get the right
media slot to be hot plugable. The left slot has always worked fine. I
do not like leaving an SD card in the right slot as it sticks out too
far. The left slot the SD card is almost flush with the netbook case.
>From the ACER web site: How to update the BIOS
Create a recovery USB drive to update the Bios on the unit. The specific
steps to perform this recovery with the USB drive are:
1. Download & Extract AS1_BIOS_3310.zip
2. Rename the Bios name from 3310.fd to ZG5IA32.FD. (Note use all CAPS in
the file name)
3. Copy ZG5IA32.FD and Flashit.exe to USB flash drive.
4. Start the restoration process:
A. Plug the AC Adapter into the unit.
B. Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port.
C. Press and Hold down the Fn and the Esc keys together.
D. Keep these keys held down and press power.
E. When the unit's power light comes on release the Fn and Esc keys.
F. After the keys have been released the power light will start to blink.
G. Let the unit run and after approximately 1-7 minutes, the unit should
reboot.
H. Video should now be restored.
The above worked for me. It actually worked on the second try, so if it does
not work at first try several times.
use; $suddo dmidecode -s bios-version to check installed BIOS
version
