Too bad the gt73/83 upcoming is also HQ/HK cpu

In case anyone would like to get access to the BIOS Chip on an Acer Iconia 6120, here are some instruction to safely disassemble it. 1. Remove back cover plate 2. Remove the screws and disconnect cables marked in the picture below 3. Carefully separate the bottom screen from the case to get access to additional screws required to get full access to the motherboard. In order to separate the screen use a small plastic tool to move around the edge starting at the front and unhook it. Be gentle so you don't accidently break the plastic clips. 4. Be mindful of the cable connecting from the screen to the power button circuit in the right corner. You don't want to accidently tear the small wires that it consists of. 5. Remove all remaining screws that became accessible once the screen is removed. Hope this helps someone.

I have been using winows 8 and cannot complain about the result. there is a good youtube primer. I have only a few small irritants. I would prefer the keyboard button to act as the Windows key and Windows 8 does not really stop the system, the boot keyboard never comes up unless I force stop by holding the power button. Are there options in the unlocked Bios that go that way? before I try it.

If it were to brick, do you know if there's any way to recover from that? Booting with a BIOS file on a USB drive or something similar?

Yeah, there seems to be something like this in the bios, but not sure how I can make it available... If anyone doesn't mind a possible brick and wants to test, let me know. Else I won't bother since it would be a waste of time if nobody is going to flash it in the end.
