Acer Aspire One not booting

Got an Acer Aspire One that wont boot? Then try this.

  • Format a USB flash drive to FAT.
  • Download 3309.zip from ftp://ftp.acer-euro.com/netbook/aspire_one_110/bios
  • Unzip.
  • Move all of the files to the root of the flash drive.
  • Rename 3309.FD to ZG5IA32.FD (May not be necessary).
  • Put USB drive in to Aspire One.
  • Make sure you are on AC power.
  • Hold down Fn+Esc and press the power button until it starts blinking.
  • Release the Fn+esc and power button (which is still blinking).
  • Press power button once and wait until it reboots (depending on the flash drive you may see the activity light flashing).
  • High five yourself or swear out loud depending on whether it has booted properly.

Well that’s what worked for me anyway.
