Hello, I have the Ak1 model and I want to make the computer turn on automatically on a specific day and time of the week. how can it be done? When accessing the bios right now I do not have the advanced options and I do not know if this option would appear there. do i need to update the bios? where are the files to downloand. Thanks

davido,

Though I can't speak for ACEPC, if the option is not currently there it's unlikely that the option is available. That's not to say for sure that they don't have an updated BIOS that has this, but only that I wouldn't get my hopes up. Further, though ACEPC does sometimes tailor the BIOS to specific needs for customers, this is only done when those customers buy in bulk, like for a business or something.

Having said this, just in case you had the idea to try it, I would NOT recommend trying to update the BIOS via the BIOS maker's website or tool, as this can result in an unintended outcome. I can't remember where the post is on here (if I find it I'll edit and link to it), but there was one a few months back where someone tried this and ended up bricking their unit, unfortunately.

With all this said, because it's likely to be asked of you, and just in case there is one, it would be helpful if you could post a snapshot/picture of your currently installed BIOS so that the admin can know whether there is an updated version available. Basically the main BIOS screen, where it shows the version and other info.

Mr. David. AK1 has this function. You can refer to this tutorial: Power on MINI PC, press Delete to enter BIOS, set it under Advanced-----ACPI Settings----Resume on RTC Alarm;
Pay attention to the following points when setting:
1. Alarm date: can be set arbitrarily from 1 to 31 days;
2. Alarm time(hours): Set it from (1~24)
3. Alarm time(Minutes): It can only be set in 5 minute intervals (for example, 5,10,15,20...etc. can be set)
4. After the setting is complete, press F4 to save. You need to enter the system once, and then shut down from the system;
