Update Laptop Bios Without Battery - Acer Aspire.md
  • Download the BIOS update from Acer site ZQ0_125.exe
  • Run the downloaded file, you will get an error like No battery or Low battery, Don't close the error dialogue (!)
  • Navigate to your current users temp directory (e.g. Users//AppData/Local/Temp), there should be somewhere a temporary directory containing the extracted files from the EXE file (for me it was 7zS8C43.tmp)
  • Copy the temp directory somewhere (then you can then close the error dialogue, the temp files will be removed)
  • Open the file platform.ini with a text editor and search for the key AC_Adapter
  • Change parameter BatteryCheck from 1 to 0 or just leave it empty (this disables battery check during BIOS update preparation!), save the file
  • Run InsydeFlash.exe in the same directory

It solved my issue and work beautifully..
