I’m glad that there are lots of brave people who already updated. I’m still waiting for a perfect review whether it would good to upgrade or not. Thank you guys, keep up the good work!

… I wonder if it’s a problem with virus/firewall or other running applications that is making it take two goes other people.They only change I’ve noticed is the ability to set the fan control in BIOS
[/quote1230022104]Dunno, I use AVG Internet Security on my NC10
I think another extra option in the BIOS is the “HDD PASSWORD” I haven’t seen it before in the NC10.
Anyone knows if this password is set in the HDD (to prevent accessing the information even if the HDD is removed)
I’ve done the update and have noticed the fan is now a little quiter than before. I have left the fan speed set to auto in the bios. I have not noticed any other changes as of now though
The negative side effect of the BIOS update is that some keyboard -functions are lost, the brightness- and the wlan-button are disabled.
Has anyone experienced the same?[quote1230034207=wibem]

[/quote1230030045]Doesn’t sound too good… Is this the first bios update since release of the NC10?

ALL Fn+ keys working good before or after BIOS updateUpdated, All my Fn keys are working fine, I had eset anti virus and spybot and spy eraser running when i did update and no problems..
I am definitely noticing that I am using less power than before. running battery manager I am getting 6.3- 6.6 watts while i am typing this message with my virus software running, on customized profile with lowest screen brightness…. and min processor speed setting, at least one or two watts below what i was getting before and the only change was the bios update!
would like to hear if others are getting improved battery life with update
No problems here although like others I had to run the flash program twice. It appears the first flash updated the Micom and the second flash updated the BIOS. My function keys are working just fine using either XP or Vista.
Just noticed when running powertop the BIOS now reports the C4 state, in addition to C1 and C2. I’m pretty sure it didn’t used to.
Can anyone else who has powertop (or another tool to check the processor states) and the old BIOS confirm the change.
