Acer Predator Bios Corruption

[Jadyn Valvona-Healy]

Hi, my Acer Predator's bios got corrupt and I took it to a guy I know who replaced the chip for me, he sourced the chip form UK and it didn't come with a bios on it. The Laptops lights all turn on for as long as I'm holding the button but the pc never posts due to its lack of BIOS. is there a way I can flash a BIOS onto it without using a CH341A External Flashing Tool?

No, a bioschip without a bios on it is just ''as dead'' as an corrupted one. Can't you ask the guy you got the chip from. If he replaced the chip he must have a flashing tool as well.

It's strange honestly, his exact words were. "I sent it to a mate and they managed to get an extra bios chip and he swapped them around but neither of us have the tools to flash it
