["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Erno Kuusela, as per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an
update is available for your BIOS (2.20). If you update to this, does it
change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
