Acer 531 has gone to the black screen. I tried following YouTube videos on downloading the BIOS but the files did not look the same when I opened them. I didn't have a DOS file. the F2 ,F 9 & F 10 , enter did not work for me. any help or suggestions are appreciated

Use a bright flashlight pointed into the screen to see if there's an image there but maybe the backlight has gone out.
If theres no image and no windows loading sounds then its possible the laptop is not booting up at all.

If its not booting up then the F functions keys wont work and a bios update wont either, as you've found out.
