I have this acer timeline x notebook 4830TG (2012), It wasnt updated for a long time and i noticed my laptop can't detect my nVidia GPU, I searched the net and saw Recommendations to update my BIOS. And I did, here is where my problem starts

after restarting, All was fine until the log in page. I can hear the log in Tune BUT the screen is BLACK and I can only see my cursor, and the screen size seems smaller. I restarted my laptop and booted it in low resolution Mode. And it works!! I can also start it normaly with an external Monitor but when removed, it comes back to Black screen and cursor :( to solve the problem, I searched for driver updates but failed I need to use my laptop properly ASAP,

Here comes the bigger problem, I tried downgrading my bios hoping to use my laptop normaly again but it becomes worse. my keyboard isn't functioning properly it keeps on pressing CTRL I Cant log in and the Ease of Access Wont open

Things I tried:
-Reset BIOS
-System Image restore
-System restore point
-Repair
-safe mode
-external Keyboard

Nothing worked :(

I hope Someone Could help me. Thank you!

BIOS is not something to be played with.... when it comes to BIOS updates, I usually believe if it ain't broke don't fix it applies.
as you are experiencing, it can cause more problems than it is worth.
BIOS Factory reset for ASUS as follows:

Hold down Ctrl+Home, then hit power button.
keep holding Ctrl+Home untill you see "EZ-Flash" start.
Wait until the factory shipped BIOS flash is finished, at the end of this process it will say "restart in two seconds".
Your laptop should shut down on it's own (it's really important NOT to interrupt this process) and now you can try to start the PC.
This operation will reset the BIOS to the factory installed BIOS

Good luck and I hope this works for you.
