BIOS revision on M1330

[Shinjo]

Quick question,
I noticed a lot of people updating their bios from A05 to the new A06. My current version is A02. So far, I have no issues with my system, and this is after a complete Vista-64 install (Thanks trebuin and flamenko for the great threads). Does anyone else have the A02 bios, or did I get the old non updated stuff? I don’t mind it, as I am not having any issues, just curious if anyone else has something other then the A05 or A06.

Thanks,
Sean

My original had A05 and replacement had A06 preloaded.

Whats new on A06?

[Shinjo]

Not sure what is new on the A06, noticed alot of posts with people reporting shorter battery life with it though. So it looks like the majority of people started with at least the A05. I wonder if this means I got an early build or something?

1. Enhance the function of the media eject button more stable in multi-CD/DVD installation.
2. Update the nVidia video BIOS to 60.86.45.00.40.

Basically A06 was supposed to fix the CPU whine thing. If I'm right I'm right, if I'm wrong please correct me.

In my opinion latest is best.

In my opinion latest is best.

Working for a ODD company normally we tell customers not to update firmware unless somethigns wrong. Kind of the "If it's not broke, dont fix it". So sometimes latest isnt always the best ^_~

Still havent figured out how my M1330 shipped with the A02. Oh well, its working, so I wont be updating it anytime soon, in case the A06 would make it worse.

Shinjo,

I went from A02 to A06 without problems. I think the rapid release of BIOS revisions at the start of the model's lifetime represents working out of minor bugs. Later in the lifecycle it is more likely to be to support changed hardware (which you might not have).
I vote to upgrade.
