Acer Aspire D250 BIOS Recovery
Something went wrong with your Aspire D250 BIOS? Download the latest BIOS from support.acer.com and follow these instructions:
- First format an USB stick with FAT, if this option is not available use a smaller USB stick (eg 1Gig)
- Download the latest BIOS, and put both FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file in the root directory of the stick. Do NOT rename the BIOS file, it should be KAV60.fd
- Now connect the USB stick to the AA1
Turn the AA1 off, DISCONNECT the battery but leaving the AC adapter connected. Press Fn+Esc, keep it pressed and press the power button to turn the AA1 on. Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds. Press power button if it begins to blink, otherwise do nothing. The AA1 will now initiate the BIOS flash, do not interrupt it under any circumstances. The AA1 will reboot shortly after. Wait patiently. - The BIOS has been flashed and all settings reset to default.

Hi.
You mentioned FLASHIT.EXE, where do I get that from?
Regards Janset
It is there in the zip file. You’ve to unzip that file
I’ve taking all the above steps but nothing is happening other then a “Enter CURRENT password” box. Is there any additional information i need to know?

The same things is going with my d250 too… Any solution?
Well last time I performed a bios update on my d250, I just extracted the file and executed the exe.
Same here, nothing happend with my superv isor pass, the update i made it my self with a exe file from windows, not so complicated ….
Anyway… i wan t to change from 8Mb of video card to something more ..can i ?
I spent hours yesterday trying to get this to work properly and i couldnt get this method to work for the life of me. however i found a much easier/faster way. open the wifi expansion cover and look for 2 solder pads labeled “RTC(RST)”. short those pads together while turning it on and your password is now GONE! :)

Thankz a lot for your little tip. I spent hours before looking for just that and acer wants to charge 150 for a bios pasword removal. You just saved my netbook. Thank you.
Thanks PBG. Spent a couple hours searching the web only to find your quick clear and concise solution. Thanks.
Thanks, Powered by Google! Was pulling my hair out because the BIOS update was NOT working as described here. But your password reset directions worked perfectly! Awesome!
PBG THANK YOU so much you save my daughters netbook.
