Chosen Solution
About a few weeks ago, I decided to dual boot for the first time. And, Pop!_OS appeared to be the perfect linux distro.But, one small issue (actually not that small…), my BIOS doesn’t quite work anymore!When I press f2, the screen just blacks out, and my mouse just reverts to its basic lighting option.I have uninstalled Pop!_OS, yet, my BIOS still has the same issue… I have the acer BIOS version 1.05, the latest version for this laptop.I have tried installing the update file to the same version, but it detects the current BIOS I have and quits.To anyone with a laptop very similar, like the SF114-34, or even mine, please help!
Disconnect the main battery (lower half in video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmTCoLq7… for SF114-32 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwy23nmX… for SF114-34 and disconnect the CMOS battery (the coin battery is covered in black plastic with a black and red wire coming from it. Follow the wire along until until you get to the white plastic connector. Slowly and gently pry this off. 32 it is on top left and 34 model it is lower right. Press power button for 30 seconds to discharge any residual charge. Reconnect everything and power up. Did that work?
