I need BIOS for Acer TravelMate 3212 WXMi, in *.WPH format, my e-mail [email protected]

Do you want to reset bios password or reset the bios itself >??

or
http://acer-system-disabled.biosremoval.com/acer-travelmate-250-bios-password.html

Try removing the main battery and unplug the power, then hold the power on button down for 30 seconds, if this does not work, remove the cmos battery for 30 seconds to reset the bios

so ur notebook no wireless? if that case u need to buy a wireless usb ;)

Hi,
1. Go and download the bios file - ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/asp.../bios/v1.06.zip
2. There should be a file call AG1A-106.EXE inside Alviso folder, just extract this file to the location you like.
3. In windows, use cmd (Command Prompt) to run this application.
4. The syntax should be ---- AG1A-106.EXE /ldcmos /reb -----
5. It may take 1 minute to load up, when it appears, just flash it.
6. Computer will restart after flashing and password should be cleared.
7. Don't forget to set back the BIOS settings if required.

Hope this helps!
Please rate my response!!

During bios boot up (Laptop starting) press ALT + F10. This should send you to the factory reset/format setting.
Warning; You will lose all your data, so back up pics, docs etc

Dear all,

I also posted this one under "Notebook Bios Problems" which might not be the correct place. Anyway here it is for you to see and maybe you can learn from my experience.

Have done a VISTA upgrade with Acers upgrade DVD.
It recommended to upgrade the BIOS - after doing this notebook is dead.
(1 long and 2 short beeps).
If I want to flash a new BIOS with Crisis method which BIOS should I use i.e. how do I know if I need the AT or UMA version - how to verify this on the notebook (my version is 1642 ZWLMI)?

I would very much appreciate some help on this - thank you

LATEST NEW - it WORKS AGAIN:
I was a little bit worried when I started but later I was all smiles

So a BIG thanks to everyone who posted possible solutions here in this forum:

1: I bought a NEC model UF0002 USB floppy Disk Drive Unit.
2: Downloaded the zip file from the ACER homepage with the BIOS
(chose the one that should be the correct version for VISTA:
It contains 2 WHP files: ZL9A3A24.WPH and ZL9I3A24.WPH as I
learned from NoClaim's post I chose the ZL9I3A24.WPH.
3: Downloaded the zip files with the Crisis recovery zip-file (See d0gi's
post: http://www.rechner.org/b1800.html ).
4: un-zipped the files
5: copies the file ZL9I3A24.WPH into the crisis directory - deleted the
BIOS.WHP that was allready there. And renamed ZL9I3A24.WPH
to BIOS.WHP.
6: ran the WINCRIS.EXE program (did an unbootable format of the floppy)
7: I now had a recovery floppy.
8: all steps above obviously done on my desktop PC.
9: removed battery from my ACER 1640Z laptop
10: unplugged powercable.
11: inserted the USB floppy in one of the USB ports on the laptop
12: pressed the <fn> and <esc> keys
13: plugged the powercord
14: Turned on the laptop
15: waited a bit - lights came on on the laptop (no beeps)
16: waited a little longer and the light on the floppy came on
17: waited still a bit longer until I could hear the floppy was working
and then I let go of the keys <fn> and <esc>
18: after a while there was no activity on the floppy any more and
shortly after the laptop shot down.
19: the laptop started up again on its own and IT WORKED
20: THE LAPTOP IS BACK AND THANKS TO ALL OF YOU I SAVED A LOT
OF MONEY

This worked for me and only cost me £5, Here is the web sit i got it from
http://www.wimsbios.com/phpBB2/topic9512.html

Try to set the jumper setting of your hard drive to CS (cable select).
