  Hi everyone, I need help to restore an old acer chromebook to which I installed windows 10/11. After encountering the touchpad problem I tried to recover it back to the previous chromeOS. In the process I think I have installed the different firmware in it. I have formatted the harddisk but cant get through the setup menu. Neither ctrl+D is working nor the Esc+Refresh+Power is working. Whatever the recover I downloaded from the internet failed to restore the Os. The text shows after hitting the tab button shows the following: 

HWID: PARROT PETREL A-C 6559 
recovery_reason: 0x02 recovery button pressed 
VbSD, flags: 0x00000670 VbNv, raw, 70 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 d4 dev_boot_usb: 0 dev_boot_signed_only: 0 
TPM: fwver=0x00010004 kernver=0x00040001
 gbb.flags: 0x00000000 
gbb.rootkey: 9f59876c7f7dc881f02d934786c6b7c2c17caac 
gbb.recovery_key: 7f03c648d2bb4ab3979cb87633da51ed90267f03 
read-only firmware id: Google_Parrot.2685.37.0 active
 firmware id: Google Parrot.2685.37.0

Is there anyway to reboot the bios since nothing is working to me. Thanks I have tried installing the firmware and recovery file that I downloaded from the internet.
