I know several people claim the BIOS update did nothing for their Aspire One. However (maybe it's just my head here), I could swear the fan appears to be responding now to the temperature of the netbook. If it isn't working for you, you could still install the 3rd party fan control application for Windows.

Thanks for this detailed guide. I'm hearing that many have had issues with the bios settings on the Acer Aspire one. a shame Acer coulldn't have got a handle on this before releasing the netbook.

I find your blog while searching for some help. I was messing around with the Bios and I moved the Flash boot to the top and save the changes before going through the process you mentioned. Now I only have a black screen when i power up. Any ideas? Desperate!!!!

You’re going to change the boot order back to the way it was. It might already be in the proper boot order but it’s a good thing to check anyhow. Make sure the first boot option is the hard drive (unless of course you always want the netbook to check the USB flash drive first).

I also did the 3309 bios update and it worked a dream Thanks so much. The battery started to charge within 5 minutes after rebooting. Your step by step guide made it so easy. Many many thanks.

I did the bios update (3309) and now my battery that would not charge is charging. Thank you! Your directions were wonderful. I got nowhere with Acer other than they were going to send me a new battery, but I don't think that would have been a longterm solution.

This is my fifth PC in about as many weeks. What I saved in money, I've spent in lost production attempting to get the fucking piece of shit to work.

What a waste of time and money.

Bought a refurbished model that had a return slip that said it had been returned as it would not turn on. Plugged it in and all looked OK reporting 100% battery charge. But when mains was turned off it just died. Found various sites and this looked easiest to follow. Flashed the BIOS from 3301 to 3309 following these excellent instructions. After a couple of reboots and second thoughts (as whilst BIOS had changed battery still reported 100% and problem remained), system sorted itself out and battery is charging up from 0% and it remains on when unplugged!

Many thanks
