    Hi, in a moment of crazy laziness and stupidity I attempted to update my Vios in ACER ASPIRE 5630 laptop via Windows environment. The result is a complete failure, with a flickering screen when I turn power on. Has anyone faced a problem like this? Is my motherboard dead or there is still hope?

    Thanks a lot!

    You can use a crisis disk - see here on more details on how to create one.
