Acer Swift 1 SF114-33: Unable to access BIOS after dual booting Pop!_OS and Windows 11 Pro

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 16:51:34 -0700

About a few weeks ago, I decided to dual boot for the first time. And, Pop!_OS appeared to be the perfect linux distro.
But, one small issue (actually not that small...), my BIOS doesn't quite work anymore!
When I press f2, the screen just blacks out, and my mouse just reverts to its basic lighting option.
I have uninstalled Pop!_OS, yet, my BIOS still has the same issue...
I have the acer BIOS version 1.05, the latest version for this laptop.
I have tried installing the update file to the same version, but it detects the current BIOS I have and quits.
To anyone with a laptop very similar, like the SF114-34, or even mine, please help!

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 18:15:25 -0700

Hello, I have an Acer swift sf314-59-74f1

The dc port stopped working some time ago so I continued to use and charge it via the usc charging function.

Recently the laptop has stopped taking a charge entirely.

I did try to have the dc port fixed a while ago but the person said it wasn't fixable.

Anyone know how to get this laptop up and running again? New battery? Or whst?

Acer Swift 3: Some keys on the keyboard won't work.

Tue, 20 May 2025 18:59:37 -0700

My Backspace, Backslash, Enter, Up Down and Right arrow keys, and my semicolin keys on my keyboard is not working anymore. I used to be able to fix it by gentlelling hitting my PC, or to slightly bend it (I know its not good). But now no matter what I do, it won't work. I now often have to pull out my on screen keyboard or use left arrow and delete key in order to undo my errors, and its painful.

Acer Swift 3: Acer Laptop: How to fix/prevent screen flickering/freezing/lines?

Tue, 22 Oct 2024 07:23:39 -0700

Hello everyone! I have an acer swift 3 laptop (SF314-51-5831). It has gotten wet multiple times in the past. Another thing is that I often carried it in my backpack up close to my back with the weight of the backpack contents pressing onto the lid, which caused the hinge screws to come loose. When i recently started using it again after a pause the screen was working fine. But then it started to freeze/become grayscale/ only show top third (see attached photos). I have then taken the laptop apart and took all the tape of the EDP-cable to see if it was damaged. It still looks intact. When I connect the laptop via HDMI to an external monitor the picture is clear. When I hooked the screen back up via EDP-cable and gently bent the screen a while in all directions(just fiddling around) the picture was clear again(see attached photos). What causes this problem and how can i fix it? How can I prevent it from returning when I put the laptop back together? It seems to me there is water damage and I need to clean something but what? I don't want to buy a new screen or EDP-cable only if absolutely necessary. The screen panel is an AU Optronics B140HAN02.1. The EDP-cable is an CA4DB 1422-02GG000. Thank you for your answers in advance!

Kind Regards JB

Acer Swift 3: My Laptop Shuts Down When Connected to Both Battery and Charger

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 08:07:14 -0700

I've noticed that my laptop shuts down instantly whenever I connect it to both the battery and the charger at the same time. This issue doesn't occur when it's running only on battery or just with the charger. Has anyone experienced a similar problem or have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Note: I have recently replaced the battery two times. Once because the original battery was completely dead. I then proceeded with another replacement because i was not able to charge the first replaced battery, which worked until it has been discharged. Now I have a half charged battery which i can use, but if i plug-in the adapter to charge it, the PC turns off with a popping sound. On the other hand I can turn on the PC if i disconnect the battery and only use the adapter.

I tried most of the usual recommended procedures of holding power button pressed, or BIOS reset, or battery pin pressing, and so on...

I also replaced the DC in Power Jack charger Charging Port Cable Connector.

I visually inspected the motherboard, but i could not find any damaged piece.

Thanks in advance.
