Do new ones come with new BIOS?

If I buy a new E540 today, will it come with the updated BIOS? Will the known problems with power and booting and fan and ... be fixed and factory tested on the new one?
Thanks

Any new Mac bought directly from Apple will have Lion pre-installed.
Buying the Mac from another retailer may not (I've seen new Thunderbolt iMacs still running/sold with Snow Leopard at Best Buy, for example).

    I just ordered a macbook pro and I'm not sure if it will come with OS X Lion or if I will have to install it? Do you recommend it? Thanks!

  • N660 TF 2GD5/OC comes with stock hybrid bios?

    Hello,
    I am planning on buying a N660 TF 2GD5/OC for a brand new win 8 system. Well the card come with hybrid bios installed (uefi gop so I can use with secure boot and fast boot) or would I have to update something?
    Thanks!

    All currently produced GTX6xx cards from MSI are coming with a hybrid (GOP supporting) vbios. None the less no one can say what reseller has in stock. Earlier models could be shipped with legacy vbios. If that's the case we can supply you with a GOP vbios on demand.

  • Why did my replacement iPod Touch come with iOS 4.3.5?

    My other iPod wasn't working so I got a new one but this one comes with iOS 4.3.5? Why did that happen? And it is slow too, is that from 4.3.5 too? Should I update or no? Cause I had battery issues on 5.1.1 on my old iPod and I don't want that happening on my new iPod. Thanks :)

    Likely because when the replacement was refurbished, 4.3.5 was the latest iOS.
    It is up to you if you want to update to iOS 5.1.1.

  • I have just purchased the new macbook pro 15" and see that it comes with 2 discs in the box, one being Mac OS X and the other being Applications Install DVD. Are these pre installed? or do I need to insert the discs and install them?

    All has been installed. Those are there in case you need to do a reinstall. Unlike most Windows based hardware vendors these days. Apple still ships software you might need in case a drive fails. Even in the case of the new MacBook Air, Apple ships the software on a flash drive.

  • What to Do with Old iPhone When a New One Comes Out

    What do you do with your old iPhone when a new one comes out? Is there some trade-in thing or something? Do I just pay full price for the new iPhone? Does AT&T have a trade-in policy or something?

    No trade-in. I just sell mine [on ebay] a few weeks before the newer version comes out, or right after. they go for quite a bit if they are in nice condition.

  • Transferring old data to new iPod -- will it remove new apps that come with my new one?

    My old iPod Touch is a 2nd generation, IOS 4.2.1, and I now have an iPod Touch 4th generation arriving with either IOS 5 or 6.
    I want to transfer my game apps progress -- which I don't want to lose!! --  from the old device to the new device, and I've found out from these discussions that I need to make a backup then restore from backup to the new device, treating it not as a new device.
    But does this mean that all the new-to-me app features that come pre-loaded on my 4th generation will be wiped out in the process?
    Obviously the 4th generation comes with things my 2nd generation never had, and needless to say I want those to still be there when I add all my old games and other apps.
    Can anyone assure me that in the "restore from backup" to my new device, everything from my old iPod will be added to my new one, but won't replace and or wipe out of existence any new features already loaded on my new iPod?
    My priorities/worries are:
    Not losing any game progress in the transfer,
    But also not losing any newer factory-loaded apps or features on the newer iPod, in the transfer.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Thank you lllaass, this is reassuring!
    So the "restore" adds to what's on the new iPod, not throws it all out/replaces -- good to know. Many thanks.

  • What OS would a new Macbook Air come with if I buy one now?

    Hi there,
    I am thinking of buying an MBA. Some preliminary research suggests negative reviews about the latest OS Yosemite. Regardless of whether such reviews are accurate or not, I wonder what OS will a new MBA come with, if I buy one now (or over the next few weeks)?
    Thanks.

    You can try, but probably not. Note that, since no new model of MacBook Air has come out since the release of Yosemite, even if it ships with Yosemite, it should be capable of running Mavericks. Mavericks is no longer available in the App Store, but you can contact the App Store support http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/ and ask for a download code. If you've previously downloaded it on another Mac, it should be in the purchases section in the App Store.

  • My one year warranty expired recently, a month ago my charger was replaced under warranty and it has only lasted a month and has broken again, does the replacement charger come with a new warranty or will i have to buy a new one?

    Bought the phone on contract last January (late in january), had my charger replaced just after christmas and now it has stopped working again, its been about a month and a half and the replacement charger is broken, does the replacement charger come with a new warranty or will I have to buy a new charger? And if so, is there a charger that doesn't break easily (my problem is the the wire at the phone end of the cable seems to bunch and twist etc.)
    thanks.

    a warranty replacement if the donor is out of warranty has a new 90 days warranty from exchange date 

  • Help with the new Bios 1.56 AND RAM Q

    can high voltage for Ram, A-DATA 2X512 DDR500   2.85 for this case, can cause instablity, how do i know when to raise it, because it look like running fine with 2.70, and i oced it to 270mhz , 4000 in sandra.   so what should the voltage be? and what problem can high voltage do?
    and in the new bios there is the REFRESH RATE (TREF)  and some crazy numbers, how should i know what to set it,  
    in A64 TWEAKER there is same option, Refresh Rate (TREF) , of course i am using the 200mhz, but can the 200mhz 15.6us cause to instabilty instead of the 3.9us ?
    when ocing or not? how should i know if it causing any problems?
    I am very very confused because i don't know how to oc right, i sometimes have crashes and blue screens when trying to oc, because always there is one option or setting that can make the instablity and to get real, there too Freaking many,
    and how do i know for sure that Agressive timing doesn't causing to any errors or anything else? crashes and all kind.
    PLZ if someone could answer those question i will be greatly happy, because i have no idea what to look for and i have some anoying problem with that, my ram is good for ocing and i really want stable ram with max speed.
    and i think i am using the 1T i cant change it or anything. no where to change anyway.

  • Erazer X700 new BIOS update flash is failing with 4 - Error: Rom file ROMID is not compatible

    I am trying to apply the new Erazer X700 bios update from http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/desktops-and-all-in-ones/lenovo-erazer-x-series-desktops/le...
    It fails when I run it in the admin cmd window, with message 4 - Error: ROM file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID. Any idea why I'm getting this failure?

  • X301 Secure Erase with new BIOS

    Hi there,
    I switched to an Intel X18-M SSD on my X301 some time ago. I noticed that the new BIOS was released with Secure Erase functionality some time ago. As I was going to rebuild my laptop today, I thought I would give it a go. Turns out that this was a mistake. The utility failed on the Intel SSD necessitating a reboot after running for six hours. After the reboot, it turns out that the utility has set a hard drive password on the disk (there was not one before). As I have no way to know what password it has set, I am effectively locked out of my drive and it's a brick to all intents and purposes.
    Does anyone (Lenovo in particular) know what password is set during the running of the Secure Erase functionality of the latest BIOS? My only alternative is to find out if there is a default master password from Intel. Since in principle, this should be blank, I believe that I am scuppered unless someone in Lenovo can tell me what password they set using the utility.
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Andy,
    From the instructions at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen​t.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-68369:
    Turn off the computer.
    Turn on the computer.
    While the "To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button" message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key. The BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If a password prompt appears, type the correct password.
    Select the Security menu of the BIOS Setup Utility menu.
    Select the Solid State Drive menu. The following message is displayed. Erase the Solid State Drive in the HDD bay [Enter]
    Press Enter key.
    Hitting Enter key makes showing next caution message and confirmation.
    Yes confirmation shows next confirmation message.
    If a harddisk password was set, a password prompt appears. Type the correct password.
    Further process will start after entering the harddisk password.
    Press F3 key several times to exit the BIOS Setup Utility.
    As I did not have a HDD password set, I did not see step 9.
    The utility is intended to perform a secure erase of a SSD using the ATA command set. In order to achieve this, it must first set a password on the drive (which is why it requires the user tell it the pwd if none has been set - see the end of this post for detailed documentation of this requirement).
    In normal operation, the password would be cleared at completion of the operation. Because the operation failed however, the password is currently still there. Since I do not know what it is, I have been locked out of the (very expensive) drive.
    In other tools which perform a secure erase (such as HDDERASE.EXE), the password which is set is documented for situations like this. This is not a security issue, rather it is one of following the correct process as laid down by the ATA standard.
    It may well be that Lenovo has used a randomly generated password, in which case they have bricked my drive. If not, and a 'default' password is in use, then there is a means to recover the drive if they would document it. Since this is not a security issue, it really shouldn't be a problem. Furthermore, since the password was set without my consent, the security issue is mine since the utility has effectively executed a denial of service on me.
    See here for details of the ATA secure erase protocols to understand how the password is used:
    https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_Secure_E​rase
    The relevant section which explains why the Lenovo utility does this is:
    "To successfully issue an ATA Security Erase command you need to first set a user password."
    This is what the utility has done and by not subsequently removing it, has denied me access to my drive.
    Cheers.

  • New bios might help those with false temp readings...

    Well MSI just sent me a new bios to try to fix the false temp reading issue and at first I thought it was the already-released Bios 1.25 but after comparing the checksums of both it seems to be a different bios, being Bios 1.2A... Anyway, I stuck the files on a floppy and then booted from the floppy and flashed it and to no avail, the temps are still wrong... I have a Clawhammer core and was hoping to get some input from other people with Clawhammer and Newcastle cores... Here's the email conversation I had with them along with a link to the bios they sent me at the bottom...

    Dear Alex,
    Please try attached BIOS to see if it helps and kindly let us know your test result.
    Thanks for your supporting MSI product.  Please feel free to let us know if you still have any further issues or inquires.

    Dear Alex,
    Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
     The CPU temperature is different and there is tolerance difference between the data showed and the real temperature according to the CPU model and type and even produce date and manufactory . And this MB supports thermal protection function, it will prevent the MB and CPU from overheating. So please don't worry about the temperature.
    We have tested various CPU with newcastle core in our lab but we can't find the same problem. We'll keep checking with AMD and contact them to get more different CPU to analyse it futher together with them. New BIOS will released right now if we have some findings and figure out the sloution. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    Subject: False CPU Temperature Readings with K8N Neo Platinum
    When will you guys be releasing a new bios for the K8N Neo Platinum that fixes the issues with false CPU temperature readings? As far as I know, none of the beta bioses that are out right now fix that particular issue. I have an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (Clawhammer). My temperatures have ranged anywhere from 60C to 184C, it's obvious that these temperatures are wrong because the computer would should itself down somwhere around 75C. I am also sure the the CPU heatsink is seated correctly as I have reseated it many times. I took a look around on your forums and also noticed that I am not the only one having these problems as tons of people with Clawhammer and Newcastle cores are having the same problem. Is there an estimated release date for a fix on this?
    Thanks, Alex
    Bios 1.2A
    Whatever results you guys come up with, please post it in this thread so I can send it back to MSI and hopefully it will help them in fixing this problem...
    Oh and the usual disclaimer, don't try and sue me if you screw over your motherboard, I'm simply passing along the information they sent me...

    For anyone who is still having problems, please post the information written on the top of your CPU so I can send it back to MSI to help them fix this. If you can't get the info off the top of your CPU, take a screenshot of the CPU tab in CPU-Z and send it to my email at [email protected]. In my next email I will also let them know that there are some people with Newcastles that still have problems. Thanks.

    No, you should not.  There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.
