The only thing I know might work is to run the BIOS updater over wine... which seems risky... I don't even know if it would work. I'm not sure if wine would let a windows program have access to the BIOS.
Another option may be to make a windows boot disk and see if the bios can be updated trough a DOS prompt. This is really more of a question to ask Acer. See if there is a way to get support through their site. -- Fan never powers up causing cpu overheating and shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
