I'll get straight to the point. I have an Acer Aspire V3 551G-X419. When my laptop's LCD screen went white after a GPU update, I decided to upgrade my laptop's BIOS. But after restarting, my laptop's LCD and the monitor I had connected to the VGA port (which worked up until this restart) had no signal. So I restarted. And then...

...my laptop would turn on for a few seconds, and shut off. The screen wouldn't even turn on. I did some diagnostics, and took out both RAM's. Normally the laptop would go haywire on startup, if it didn't detect any RAM, but it did nothing this time. No beeps, no reaction, nothing.
After a bit of research, I discovered that many people have had the same problem, and have recovered from it using a simple recovery method.
There are some files that I need to copy onto a flash drive, and plug it into my laptop. Take out the battery and unplug the power cord. Then hold Fn+Esc, plug in the cord, power up, and let go of the buttons when the CPU fan starts.
This time, it doesn't shut off. But I see no activity on the flashdrive either. Waited 30 minutes at this state, still nothing. So I need some help:
1. What format should the flashdrive be? i.e. FAT, FAT 16 or FAT 32?
2. What file(s) do I need to have on the flash drive, and do they have to have a specific name? Please provide download links, if possible.

3. Will the laptop signal, or in any way acknowledge the validity of the BIOS recovery files, and that the recovery process has initiated?
4. How long will the BIOS recovery take?
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Insyde Corp Bios Download For Windows 10
Hello,
The above mentioned driver has a bug that doesn't work with the latest version of Windows 10. The driver is from the Microsoft HCL.
Have done a new Windows 10 Home 64 bit install on a Kogan laptop (W54_W94_W955TU,-T,-C). Version of Windows is Windows 10 Home v1803 (OS build 17134.112).
Once the laptop performed a Windows update to the version mentioned above, flight mode would toggle on and off every second immediately after booting the system.
Uninstalling the following driver in Device Manager temporarily fixed the issue : Insyde Airplane Mode HID Mini-Driver (hardware id = ACPIVEN_PNP&DEV_C000), version 1.4.0.8, AirplaneModeHid.sys.
Problem is even when I uninstall the driver and the driver package, Windows reinstalls it again after every reboot and the issue comes back again.
I've Googled the issue and it seems I'm not the only one with this issue.
http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-10/187573-airplane-mode-off-off.html (check soln by dhicks).
I'm out of ideas how to fix this. Here's the things I have tried:
- uninstalled in device manager, removing the driver package as well such that device becomes 'unknown device'. After reboot, it just re-installs.
- went into device installation settings and set Windows to never check/install driver software from Windows Update.
- Ran cmd prompt in recovery console and performed the 'dism /image:<imagemountdir> /remove-driver /driver:<publishedname>' command.
- Ran the pnputil -d command. Driver removes ok but comes back after reboot.
- Tried disabling the driver in device manager but it's listed under Human Interface Devices and there is no disable option.
- Tried older driver versions (some from : https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=Insyde+Airplane+Mode+HID+Mini-Driver
- Contacted Insyde and they told me they only write BIOS code, even though I have sent them screenshots of their own driver.
- Tried disabling the driver from loading by using device installation restrictions (https://www.howtogeek.com/263851/how-to-prevent-windows-from-automatically-updating-specific-drivers/) . Because this is Windows 10 home, I tried to do this via the registry but it doesn't work.
Short of upgrading to Windows 10 pro so I can use Group Policy to disable this one driver or rolling back the big Windows 10 update, i'm out of ideas.
Any ideas?
