I have same problem.... trying to flash using diferents flash drives but nothing... just the green power led keep blinking and no read from usb drive... Iam thinking that crisis block(recovery part of bios) is alive because it regonize Fn+ ESC combo and porlwer led flash but no usb read to begin flashing.. any of you have some fix to this issue?
mine wont go green for me to do the thing with the BIOS and then my warranty is out and I want to send mine in but it'll cost some money that I might not have and plus my mom wont let me send it in ugh
my charging light does turn green after a little while, but still it dont flash the bios. i tried loads of usb's, different usb formatting tools etc... still nothing!!!!! absolutely nothing on the screen, not even a lit black screen, just a dead one. plz somebody help me. buying a brand new one defies the point of having a small cheap simple netbook, cause i already spent money on a simple 2ndary lappy, now replacing it means u shud have never bought one in the first place!!!!
i have the exact same, tried 10 different sticks, no avail. 2 of them here, completely dead, one was accidentally killed when it hung during a BIOS update, the other doesn't have any particular excuse. replacement BIOS didn't work on the one that was killed. I'm not sure where to go from here.
mine is completly black I dont even get the acer screen, when i power on the fan comes on and I can see the power led light, but the screen is completly black. I am working on this for a friend. and she sent me a new motherboard. ( she actually sent me two of these Acers and one the motheroard has already been replaced and it also still has the black screen at powerup. and again I dont get the bios window.
my acre would go to the desktop after about 5 minutes on the black screen so I just did flash bios without a flash drive and extracted strait to my acre. But it didn't work? should i try a second or third time?
@KaarlisBaumanis when i try after install windows xp put new bios to zg5 it doesn't work............ :( plz can you give me bios chip? :( :( :( i can help you with reflow GPU

also, i have reflow tools available as well as a spare BIOS chip, but i doubt it'll lie in the video chip since the one was killed by a bad flash.

Can you fix the problem?

the light doesn't become green because it is recharging. If your battery is old, it may be stuck recharging forever.

@peanutgal1996 I even replaced the bios chip, and it also didn't help. So probably problem is in another (maybe video) chip.

@KaarlisBaumanis Could be the hard drive since the OS doesn't seem to load either. Thats what im guessing the one im working on is.

@KaarlisBaumanis If the video chip is messed up, video wouldn't even show.
