soo as the title says, does updating laptop bios manually will have high risk?? can anyone please enlighten me >....,<

Depends on the laptop

Acer released an update for certain radeon gpu enabled laptops a few years back that completely ruined the machine for many. it took almost a year for me to find a panic recovery flash tool to recover that notebook

ohh so its safer not to update the bios of my acer laptop? and i was just curios in having my laptop bios updated ^....,^

the newer acers use a different bios type, so its generally ok.

well my acer laptop is model is acer aspire AS4750G-2412G64Mnbb is it okay for me to manually update the bios??

its phoenix bios with an insyde recovery module

Generally bios flashing is risk-free as long as you follow instructions. People always harp "don't update if you have no problems!" but I've only had 1 brick and that was due to user error.

hmm i don't really understand but is it okay for this model to be updated in the latest bios??

*yes there is a risk just be warned since you in our same territory has prone to brownout you need to power-plug-ined in a "UPS" unit w/ your laptop battery at full charged to proceed w/ the bios update.
*interrupting the update may bricked your laptop's bios as imminent make it impossible to boot on the next use such as anomality of sudden restart/shut down
