[Bug 432670] Re: regression in karmic thermal control

[Joan Perals Tresserra]

This is what I also tried to do, but with less luck. Following some
forum threads, I downloaded the lastest bios updater from the Acer
website itself, which contains a program by a company called InsydeBios,
to be launched from Windows or from DOS. I launched the Windows
executabe (from Windows Vista) and now I have no laptop anymore.

My BIOS became completely corrupted so that it didn't even react to the
'boot' button or anything, it was like laptop-shaped stone. And I say
"didn't" and "was" because I split it all into pieces trying to find the
BIOS chip and replace it -but I can't find it! Maybe this is related to
the so "innovative" design of that InsydeBios thing that may not exactly
be a BIOS chip but I don't understand exactly what it is -and what to
do?

Well, if someone can help with this, it would be great. By now, I'll
throw two warnings I should have followed:

BE VERY CAREFUL and DON'T FLASH YOUR BIOS FROM WINDOWS.

Salut
