i just downloaded the right file it was called something like bios – change critical from 3% to 5% and change low from 7% to 9%.
strait away after reading the read me file and installing the update the battery started working properly.

my acer battery shows it is in but stays on 1 percent charged and only works with the cord plugged in if i take it out it shows it is not there but while in it always says 1% available (pluged in, not charging).

I also dont know what i should download to fix the problem if it is fixable.

also my mouse pad sometimes jumps the mouse around the screen and wont stop unless i leave it turnd off for about 15 minits if you have any ideas about the mouse i would appreciate it.

please give me some advice. thanks from new zealand

My Acer is having the same problem, but my main problem is that I don’t have a clue what I’m looking for to download.

Firmware (BIOS) versions – where do I find it, and what am I looking for? I have an Acer Aspire 5741.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Cheers from New Zealand!

Brilliant, a 30 sec download and I now have a battery powered Aspire again, do not forget the battery only charges when the Aspire is turned on
