New BIOS update has been released.
Version F.0F (2011/03/09) was just posted in past week.
- Fixes an issue where the the BIOS Config utility could not change the "Virtualization Technology" field in F10 Setup. - Fixes an issue where the battery check utility reports an incorrect battery warranty period. - Fixes an issue where the computer could not boot with Boot Star Boot Manager. Note: This issue only occurs with Microsoft Windows XP SP3.
- Improves the BIOS flashing algorithm to minimize a BIOS corruption issue. - Improves security of the BIOS by enhancing the security protocols of certain firmware functions.
Overall, a rather underwhelming update. I'm still hoping some update will include the ACPI changes needed for the ALS to be controlled by the Windows 7 Sensors platform.
Note: after the first reboot, you'll be asked to disable VT if it was previously enabled.
@Mike, I personally haven't had that issue with mine (I also have the 820)
ReplyDeleteI'd suggest that you reset the BIOS to the defaults, then try flashing it to F.0F again, preferably using the bootable disk option presented during the install.
I'll also double-check to ensure it hasn't moved to a new location in F.0F shortly.
