7. When the unit's power light comes on release the Fn and Esc keys.
8. After the keys have been released the power light will start to blink.
9. Let the unit run and after approximately 1-7 minutes, the unit should reboot and the BIOS will be updated
Thank you very much!

I've tried all the tricks and the only one that worked for me is this (including the renaming from 3310.fd to zg5ia32.fd), except that in my case the power light didn't blink and it took me two attempts to find out when to release Fn+Esc.

My model is AOA 150, with Linux pre-installed, bought here in Spain.

Thank you.
