How to flash bios for aspire 5745 when you have a black screen

I attempted to update my bios for my Acer Aspire 5745 notebook and chose the wrong file. The computer is giving me a black screen now. When I push the start button the lights come on the fan blows and thats all. I found a few sits on line giving me the procedure to flash an aspire one system. Here is the steps I took to do so to no avail. 1. When to the acer site and put the SNID number to my laptop to pull up my suggested downloads for my system. 2. I downloaded the file to my working computer. 3. I extracted the file and opened the file that said DOS. 4. I renamed the file zg5ia32.fd 5. checked my flash drive to make sure it is set to ( FAT ). 6. Transfered the file to the flash drive. 7. Pluged in the flash drive to my dead laptop while it was pluged into a powersorce. 8. Held down the FN and ESC buttons while pushing the power buttons. 9. Released the FN and ESC buttons when I noticed the power light blinking and the flash drive light up. 10. Waited for over 15 min. but had no success. If anyone could tell me what I may have done wrong I would be much appriciated. I also opened up the backside to the laptop and removed the little battery that was plugged it with a small white connector assuming it was the cmos battery but still nothing happended.

I was never able to properly flash my bios. I had wondered if when I tried to update it I may have destroyed my bios in the process. Anyways I had purchased a motherboard for I think around 50.00 on ebay. It was used but was complete. All I had to do was take out the old motherboard and replace with the other one. It all came on after that with a new knowledge of not fix something that is not broken.

How do I pay for a subscription when I have only $...

I couldn't find the solution for this, I am sure it probably is there.
I have $19.07 on my account but the subscription is $29.70. How can I pay for the extra $10.63? Is there a setting that will use up the $19.07 and then charge my credit card of record for the $10.63?
Thank you,
Bob

How to fax on a secondary line when you have 1 jack with two lines?

I have two phone lines accessible through one wall jack. The default line is my voice line. I wanted the secondary line to be the fax line.
I have set up the fax preferences and have specified the fax line (which appears to be just for header info). I can send a fax out but it uses the primary line. I have tried to send a fax to the machine but it doesn't catch the second line.
Is there something additional I need to set up or do I need 3rd party software or a second physical jack or some kind of line splitter for the jack.

Hello,
Go to Wal-Mart, or some other store that sells phone wire and adapters. Look for a small adapter that plugs into your phone jack.
It should specifically be labeled to split a two line jack into separate line 1 and line 2 jacks.
They usually have 3 jacks on them. Line 1, Line 2, and Line 1 + 2 (which would be the same as your normal jack).
Make sure it's not just a splitter, but also actually divides your phone lines. They usually cost about $3 to $6.
Radio Shack probably has them as well.
Once you plug that in, you can plug your phone into the line 1 jack, your computer's modem into the line 2 jack, and anything that can use both lines into your Line 1 + Line 2 combination jack.
I hope this helps.

How to delete one apple id account when you have two

How do I delete the apple id and password I use on my iPhone
and just use the one on my MacBook for both devices.
When I bought my iPhone I tried to set up my apple id on the phone using the same username and password as on my MacBook
but it didn't like my password on the iPhone.
The password was acceptable on the MacBook but the iPone required a more complicated password.
So, I set up a separate Apple id on my iPhone
and now I have two apple ids and I'd like to delete one and just use one for both devices.

There's no way to delete an Apple ID. Just don't use it.

Using Touch ID for App store when you have seperate Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes

My wife and I each have a new iPhone 5S. We share the same Apple ID for iTunes and the App Store.
In addition, we each have our own unique Apple IDs for iCloud. This enables us to use iMessage to text to each other.
Can the iPhone 5S be setup to use the Touch ID for iTunes and App store purchases when there are separate iCloud and iTunes ID on the same phone?
Currently, I can unlock my phone using the Touch ID, but the App store requests me to type the password to my wife's and my shared Apple ID whenever I wish to buy an app. I am not given the option to use the Touch ID.
I do have both the iPhone Unlock and iTunes & App Store set to "on" here: Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID
How can I use my current setup so I can approve App Store purchases with the Touch ID?

This is the screen that pops up when I attempt to purchase an app. It does not allow me to use my Touch ID.

How can I erase data on iPad when I have a dead screen?

I have a 32g 3g original version iPad. The screen is dead but I when I hook up to iTunes I can still see my data and sync etc. so the insides are working fine. I want to permanetly errase all the my personal data and settings. How can I do that when I can't see the ipad screen. A simple reset from iTunes will not do that will it?

You can restore it "as new device". Plug it into iTunes, press and hold the on/off and the home button at the same time until iTunes pops up saying it has detected a device in recovery mode. The restore it as a new device - that will wipe everything off it and return it to essentially the way it was once activated right out of the box.

How to Flash MSI Guides.
There are different ways to flash the bios but to keep things simple will concentrate on the MSI Official methods :-
1) Award Flash BIOS Procedure 98/ME
This method assumes access to hd formatted using FAT32 & therefore readable by DOS.
2) Flashing the BIOS for Users using NON FAT file system
For use with Linux based & NTFS File systems - HD Not readable from DOS. Using this procedure the the files are copied to the virtual drive before running the flash utility. So the flash effectively is all done in memory.
This will be the method used by the majority of us. So:-
Follow the instructions in the last link (Thanks Bas)
The details below are additional checks/notes referring to the steps in Bas's guide, which may be useful.
Essential
2) Know Your model number - Is of increased Importance for NEO4 users - We have already seen instances of this.
5-1) Ensure you have a Boot Floppy with CD suport (this creates the Virtual drive used in the process) If you haven't got such
a boot disc see BootrDisc.com link in Rescources.
5-2) B4 booting floppy - Enter Bios & Load Optimised Defaults - To ensure that bios is returned to stock & any overclocking is
turned off.
7) If you miss the ramdrive letter the last DOS message will show your CD drive letter. The Ramdrive is the letter preceeding
the CD Drive. EG CD = D Ramdrive = C
Optional - Gives better control of procedure
11) Use of Switch command options with AWFL833C.EXE /py/sn/wb/cc/cd/cp/r TargetBios.file
Personnaly I use the switches as does Syar :-
Per Syar2003 Iv'e always used :
AWFL833D W7030NMS.xxx /py/sn/wb/cc/cd/cp/r
or
AWFL833D W7030NMS.xxx /py/sn/wb/cc/cd/cp/f/r
And a hard reset with jumper when done .
For a more detailed explanation of switches see :-
Syar's Bios Switch Explained
or Syar's Bios Collection - Flashing.txt
See Also Using a Batch File to Automate bios flash
12) after flash , enter Bios & load optimized defaults , then save + exit with no other change .
That way you have a fresh system with a fresh non problematic dmi-pool and user settings .
After this Enter Bios & Re-enter your custom settings.
From Syar - Which one do I do first?
Thanks to Bas & Syar for the majority of info in this guide

FLASH PREPARATION
Always Load Optimised defaults & Save b4 flashing - NEVER FLASH When running an OC or Unstable.
If you need to flash & are worried about stability - run with a single module & test it it memtest 1st.
FLASH METHODS
1) Winflash (Syar2003) -
Winflash is safe to use if your windows and pc is stable .
How to get it Download & install MSI Live Update. Winflash is located "C:\Program Files\MSI\Live Update 3\FlashUty\Award
And as with dos flash reset bios and any overclocking to "load optimized bios default" + save, before and after flashing.
After winflash is finished it ask if you want to reboot - answer no , and shutdown (turn off) windows/pc instead .
After that disconnect the PSU's AC and reset the cmos with the jumper on the board .
This is how I use it , - safest way .
Note ! Place checkmarks on bootblock / dmi area /update all /reset cmos

How to flash BIOS on suse bundled s series notebooks?

How to flash BIOS on suse bundled s series notebooks?

I have the above unit (I love it!!) with BIOS version 14CN51WW BIOS running UBUNTU9.04 (did not like the SUSE linux supplied. I hate the loud bleep when you remove the power adapter and also have had a few problems with LINUX hanging with the suspend mode - so I thought I might try to update the BIOS to the latest Version: 14CN67WW
However, how do you do this other than in Windows?
I tried to install Windows XP and 2000 onto a spare SATA disk that I installed into the IdeaPad - but halfway through the installation I get a stop error message saying computer is not ACPI compliant
The only other way I have is a Windows XP routine that loads XP into memory and allows a virtual disk - where I could install the BIOS files - but will this work if I flash from here - don't want to screw up the system board
Older IBM's had an executable file that ran from a DOS session and flashed the BIOS
Anyone got any advice on how to approach this - before I actually do it

While in email today, the computer began flashing. I had to turn off with button. When I turned it back on, I got the apple icon and the moving loading wheel. It would turn for about 60 seconds and then stop. I turned off again. I now have a black screen.

What we need - a guide on how to flash bios, setup bios, and raid

Ok, a topic I see very often on many forums, and several times here, is the following; How to flash bios, how to setup the bios settings, and how to setup the raid array, and then setup the bios to boot from the raid array. Could we perhaps pull our heads togheter and write a detailed guide on these three topics, taking into account how to do it on the most used (commonly written about) MSI boards? and perhaps put as a sticky?
It would help many novice users trying to deal with these problems. I am willing to write on the subject of flashing bios on the MSI K8N SLI Platinum and how to install a Bios Saviour.
