Fixed: Acer Aspire E1 – 572 Laptop no display & no bootup issue
I got bad experience on Acer Aspire laptop E1-572. One day suddenly not turn on the screen and all light indicator on. HDD light indicator shows normal. After long research finally concluded the issue with a faulty Bios.
Repair Bios with USB disk
- Downloaded bios latest version from Acer website
https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/4776?b=1&pn=NX.M8EEM.015 - Take empty USB drive then format with fat32 file system on another computer.
DISKPART
DISKPART>LIST DISK
DISKPART>SELECT DISK 1
DISKPART>CLEAN
DISKPART>CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
DISKPART>FORMAT FS=FAT32 QUICK
DISKPART> ACTIVE
Then launch the downloaded file V5WE2210.exe (or similar) on another system. It ends by displaying an error window, which is normal because the Bios it contains does not match that of your system. Do not close this window for now.
bios inside isflash.bin file can be found on tmp folder.
C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS84E6.tmp
Assumes that the drive letter of the USB drive is F:
copy isflash.bin file to USB using command prompt and rename it V5WE2x64.fd.
C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS84E6.tmp>copy isflash.bin f:\V5WE2x64.fd
copy isflash.bin F:\V5WE2x64.fd
Now safely remove it from its USB port .

The Acer Aspire E1-572 must be turned off, battery removed and power cord disconnected.
