Corrupted video, why is there no EFI 1.5 update for BootROM MBP22.00A5.B07?

I'm still experiencing the problem that apparently the EFI 1.4 update corrupted the display (flickery blue pixels) when using Windows or Linux via Boot Camp. I found this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1318149&tstart=15 about the problem, and finally it seems that the EFI 1.5 update fixed this issue for many people.
Unfortunately, I have a Late 2006 MacBook Pro with a ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 128MB SDRAM graphic card. The EFI update tells me that my computer does not need this update, so I'm still stuck with the 1.4 version.
Now, here we are in June 2008, and I get the feeling that Apple has "forgotten" fixing this problem also for the late 2006 models. Does any of you have more information about this? Will there finally be a firmware update for my MacBook Pro?

I can confirm that the issue was at it's most noticeable moving the cursor over iPhoto events too.
Also that connecting it to the mains seemed to fix it, and disconnecting it would appear again.
Just set the sleep to Quick using the Deep Sleep widget, and it seems OK so far.
Not sure if I'm getting too picky, but the display does still go slightly off / fuzzy when scrolling - noticeable in Safari at least - eg black text on a white background. The text doesn't break, but when you scroll, I guess the best way to describe it is as though there's some pressure on the text, and it kind of resists the direction of travel slightly.
Not sure now if this is normal, and it hadn't bugged me before, but only is now because of the more serious issues?

    will there be a belle refresh update for n8 us version
    product code: 059C8T6
    version: 111.030.0609
    custom version date 2011-01-18
    BULGARIA
    of http://www.nokia.com/bg-bg/support/product/n8-00/ says that the update may not be available from all mobile operators
    Why mobilnit operators?
    this is a software NOKIA
    why they should be released please update Updates for other ANNA and BELLE I did the update without any problem

    Well here is my N8/ Belle story, or should I say nightmare. I checked my phone for updates, and installed an important update, which ended up being Belle. Nothing has been the same since. What doesn't work on my phone since the install...
    - I can not make phone calls without turning the phone off and then on again. Even if I do that, there are no guarantees I can put a call through. Everything about dialing a phone number looks like it is working, but all I get is silence. If I call my phone from another phone, I hear the ringing on the phone I am using, but my N8 doesn't ring, or act like a call is coming in.
    -I can't text message anymore, send or receive. I can create a message, press send, but it just sits in the outbox. Occasionally an " Unable to send" window pops up.
    -I charge up the phone, and the battery is dead within hours. A charge will not last through the night. Here's the kicker....I just had a brand new battery installed.
    I am sure there are other issues that I have yet to discover, because,well, I am trying to solve the important things like making a darn phone call!!
    I have been around to nokia offical forums in other countries, and I have seen other Nokia phone owners experiencing the exact same problems as I am. I purchased the phone in Canada from Rogers. Last year, I came to the States for five months, unlocked the phone and used T-Mobile. I returned to the States again this wiinter (I am still in the USA), and am back on T-Mobile. Everything was fine until Feb. 28th, 2013, the day I did the install of Belle.
    If there is anyone out there who can troubleshoot the issues, or offer some insight as to how to fix my phone, I will be very grateful.

  • When is there going to be an update for HP Image Zone software for Win 7. NEED IT!

    When is there going to be an update for Image Zone software. for Win 7 64 bit.  I am totally frustrated with the current HP software because it does not allow changes in size of photos.  It wastes a lot of the very pricey photo paper and it is not comparable to the product I had when I purchased my HP 8750.  I want to have a professional quality printer for photos and professional abilities when using my very expensive printer with my brand new HP Pavilion laptop.  If HP does not plan on making an update for it, will you please send software that has some of the same abilities.  Adjusting and using custom sizes to print pictures.  I would like to just print pictures, not have all of the pretty frames, albums, scrapbook pages, etc.  I just want to print my pictures in sizes I WANT using the most efficient use of space on a piece of premium photo paper.  Believe me I have spent several thousands of dollars on HP products and would like my loyalty acknowledged with a simple update!
    Thank you very much.

  • Is there going to be a update for ipod touch 4th generation soon???

    I'm really hoping there will be a new update for my ipod soon... it's getting slow

    You probably don't need an update if your iPod is slower than it once was. Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try restoring from a backup and that doesn't fix the problem, try restoring to factory settings and, if the problem goes away, then synching your apps. You'll lose the app data and settings, but if the problem is due to a corrupt cache or settings file, that should cure it.
    Regards.

    I cannot import any video into my  Lightroom 5.4
    (last version updated) for MAC
    in the beginnig it was  working, just after installation and update... now nomore...
    I use .mp4 files
    Already tried to use a new catalog, clean caches, and reinstalling
    the error says "was not able to import video files"
    thanks

    Arghhh! A big thank-you to hhps-photo, you just solved the myth bothering me for the last 2 months!
    I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 from 4 and could not import any video. But when I downgrade to LR4 it worked again. I've tried so many other solutions suggested in the forum but none worked including cleaning cache, install divix plugin, install 32 bit version etc. Finally - it's because I blocked LR5 connecitons in my firewall !!!
    So simply allowed LR5 internet connection in my firewall settings and LR5 worked like a charm!

  • Why can't I open iTunes or apps on ipad1? And why do apple not support the latest update for ipad1 when it's less than 2 years old. I am sick of huge corporations ripping off joe public!

    Why can't I open iTunes or apps on ipad1? And why do apple not support the latest update for ipad1 when it's less than 2 years old. I am sick of huge corporations ripping off joe public!

    And the processor limitations.
    iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
    iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
    iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X
    Similarily, the iPad 2 did not get Siri and some other features in iOS 6.

  • Is there a CS5 camera raw update for the Nikon D600?

    is there a CS5 camera raw update for the Nikon D600

    Not as yet. ACR 7.2 does have preliminary support for D600. Output may change in final release of D600 support in upcoming ACR 7.3.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/10/camera-raw-7-2now-available.html
    ACR 7.3 will have complete support for D600.
    But, if you're on CS5, I'm sorry to break it you cannot upgrade to ACR 7.x...
    You may want to consider upgrading to CS6 or Lightroom 4 (cheaper alternative) to get ACR 7.x support.
    Or, use the DNG converter, make TIFFs and open them with PS.

  • Are there any available upgrades or updates for osx 10.6.8

    are there any available upgrades or updates for OS X 10.6.8       Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10)

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Does mountain lion comes with graphic, Does mountain lion comes with graphi, Does mountain lion comes with graphic driver updates?  I'm currently using snow leopard, and it seems that there's no graphic driver updates for a really long time.

    Need some advice

    I'm currently using snow leopard, and it seems that there's no graphic driver updates for a really long time.
    Snow Leopard is no longer being updated, 10.6.8, was the last update. So, a "really long time," will be forever.
    Yes, ML has graphic driver updates, but since there is no way to guess whether it impacts your unmentioned hardware, there is no way your question can be answered.

    Hey Rich,
    It is true that you cannot add more than 250 plots to a 2d-axis graph in the REPORT.  One work around is to have the graphs stacked on top of each other and plot 250 to one graph and 250 more to another graph.  I am including a TDR (you have to unzip it) file that has 12 2d-axis stacked on top of each other.  Most of the properties have been made invisible through the graph properties.  You can still see the legends however.  One caveat to this is that you will have issues accessing the different graphs.  You have to do it from a VBScript.  The following line of code worked for me:
    Call GraphObjOpen("2DAxis" + Str(NewAxis))
    Where NewAxis is a variable that defines which graph I want to look at.  You would of course have to loop through the graphs as you add data. 
    Cheers,

  • Why are there two 10.5.1 Updates?

    Why is there a smaller one and a larger, 110 MB one, and how do I know that I need to do the larger one? If you look at the "Permissions Warnings" post below, I am having a list of warnings when I do Verify Permissions. This is my only problem. Everything else works fine, so I don't want to mess up my computer. But I also don't know if these warnings are bad.
    Why would Apple put out two updates? How do I know if I updated the bigger or smaller one? Please help!!!
