v1.40 is out!!!

[elbubi]

Hi guys

v1.40 is out for 5315, 5720 & 7720, and for what I´ve read in changelog (HUGE) now also for many other models.

Has anyone already tried it? Does it solve the false power up issue (Bigooooooooooo ). What about temps??? . Any "new" issue (as always )

I can not try it till next Monday cause I´m out for work and didn´t bring my lappy, but I can not wait til' getting rid of that anoying double/triple power on!!!

As always, kind regards

[ATG]

I'm going to try it right now

[ATG]

Work ok on my 5715Z, temps reported fine, booting ok, fans spinning audio is ok. No problems so far

Gracias por postear tu experiencia!!! (thanks for your reply )

Hope it goes the same good way to everyone .

Changelog is significant, 6 versiones upgrade (1.34 to 1.40), hope the new models supported in this BIOS doesn´t bring new bad issues to "old" bios models.

Hope to hearing other experiences

Thanks in advance . Kind Regards

[bigozone]

been waiting for this!!!!

all look good ATTHEGATES??

[ATG]

yeah no problems so far lookin good

[elbubi]

BTW: What does "EC" means??? (regarding BIOS changelog)

Kind Regards!!!

[ATG]

Embedded Controler..I think

The embedded controller (EC) is an essential component in modern mobile, ultra-mobile and embedded computer systems. An efficient EC sub-system enables energy-conscious designs to obtain dramatic power savings.
