    Hello Guys
    My Aspire One A0A 150 does not start any more. :(
    I tried the method of bios flash with a USB key , but that does not work. :confused:
    (This method works on another Aspire ONE Netbook)
    I have to replace the bios chip, but I don't know where is it situated on the mainboard
    A little of assistant would be appreciated.
    Thank you for your answers.

    Bernie

    Hi,

    You really need to describe what works and what doesn't on your notebook.

    Presumably it's still booting if you flashed the BIOS or did that "kill the laptop".

    Hi,
    Do you have skills and tools to deal with extremely tiny SMD components? I guess, the times where you could order a "ready-to-run" Bios chip on ebay are over :(
