I'm attempting to flash a bios of an Acer 4752G via a USB drive formatted to
fat32.
I've downloaded this file here, and extracted it to the usb drive,
maintaining the folder structure -
http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/BIOS/BIOS/BIOS_Acer_1.24_A_A.zip?acerid=634921025155312677&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE%204752G&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6
I've plugged the USB drive in, and holding down fn + esc I turn the laptop
on. All the laptop lights turn on as usual, but the screen remains off. After
a while I give up and power off the laptop. Booting it up again, I'm still
unable to access the bios via F2 - GRUB loads immediately and I can still
access Trisquel.
These forums mention different things, but as a newb, I'm not entirely sure
what they're talking about. In the downloaded file, I can't see any .fd
files. Apparently I might need to rename some files.

Any suggestions?
