Acer Aspire V5 571P UEFI F2 Boot Fix Using G2101 Test Point

G2201 - UEFI BIOS password clear is the one we want. Similar models should be the same but if not you can test the points using a multi-meter and the one that reads 2.8v-3.3v or in that range will be the one to short. After this you should be able to use media creation tool from Microsoft to download the latest ISO and make a USB with rufus. Make sure to make a UEFI GPT USB in rufus. Then boot the install USB and select repair, advanced, boot UEFI Settings. I tested flashing the latest bios as of this posting and it seems to have corrected the F2 issue that got us into this mess in the first place. You can find that here: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/ZA/content... If you already have a working EFI drive you should be able to skip this step and boot right in MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS REMOVED AND THE SYSTEM IS NOT PLUGGED INTO THE DC ADAPTER OTHERWISE YOU COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE BOARD BEYOND REPAIR!
