Acer E1-472 12243-3 is a laptop motherboard designed by Wistron and used in the Acer E1-472, Acer Aspire EA40-HW, Acer Aspire E1 and Acer Aspire E1-432472 and 3 more.

The catalog has 2 schematics, 1 boardview file and 8 BIOS files for it, posted between 2019 and 2024 across 5 Telegram channels. Each download button opens the original Telegram post.

The boardview comes in .BDV format. OpenBoardView (free) usually opens these files; FlexBV works too. See OpenBoardView: Installation and First Steps.

With both a schematic and a boardview you can find a net on the diagram and then locate the same part on the board by its reference designator. No Boardview for Your Board? How to Work Without One shows the workflow.

BIOS notes: some archives also hold EC/KBC firmware; versions with a cleaned ME region are included. Read and save the original chip contents before you write anything to it — Keeping the Windows Product Key (MSDM) When Reflashing a BIOS.

Also listed under platform Wistron EA40; codes 12243-1M, 12243-1, 12243-2.
