After using my laptop all, I turned it off for a while as I was attedning a talk in Engineers Ireland. On the bus on the way home I switched on my laptop on to pass the time. I found my laptop would not boot.  The power light would come on, the fans woulod spin but notting on the screen. After a bit of googleing this morning , I found the answer. The BIOS was corrupted. I then attempted the fix and all work out in the end. My aspire one is alive again.

Details of the fix.

  1. Download the BOIS from here.
  2. Format a usb Flash drive to FAT.
  3. Copy the files you download to your flash drive.
  4. Rename 3309.fd to ZG5IA32.FD.
  5. Put the flash drive into the left hand side usb port.
  6. Hold fn+esc and press the power button.
  7. The power button should start to blink.
  8. Press the power button once and wait.
  9. You laptop should not reboot and hey its working again.

Hello all,

This is my first attempt to write a personal blog. Here we go :) . I have bloged in the past over on TOG’s web site about different events and projects I have run. This blog will be more focused on what I am doing. I am now in my final year in college and I will be doing lots of projects and I want some where to document them all. I hope it will be an interesting read for you all.
