Re: Tecra A10 - where are the release notes for updated BIOS?

Hi,
I have a problem with my Tecra A 10, it occassionally shuts itself down.
I've updated from BIOS 1.4 to BIOS 3.0 to see if this fixes it.
I can't find any release notes to see what has changed between BIOS revisions, can someone point me to them?
Thanks
Dominic

Hi as***,
Thanks for that, exactly what I was looking for.
I won't know if it's fixed it or not until I run the laptop for a few days as it only happens every now and again.
I can already see faster boot times after the bios update though, which is one of the things listed in the bios change history so it was worth updating it.
The laptop is only a few months old, I checked the heat sink before I updated the bios as I read this shutdown problem can be caused by overheating due to a clogged heat sink but mine is clean already.
It also has a problem with the USB ports, sometimes when I plug in a USB device it blue screens, again not consistently, just every now and again. I'm hoping the bios update might help with that as well but still going to look at any other firmware that might help as well.
Thanks
Dominic

  • Where are the release notes for the latest Shockwave 12.1.2.152

    The download is not associated with the latest Shockwave security bulletin APSB14-10 (v12.1.0.150)

    Adobe Live Chat .. useless
    "click here for more info: Adobe - Adobe Shockwave Player "
    As if an Adobe "get" page ever had any technical information, ever. 
    A LANDESK forum suggests it is a security update, even giving a line of advice that sounds parroted from a standard Adobe security bulletin, but where?
    "(June 04, 2014) Adobe has released Shock wave Player version 12.1.2.152: Adobe recommends users of Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1.1.151 and earlier versions update to Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1.2.152."

  • Where can I find the release notes for iTunes 9.0.3?

    Where can I find the release notes for iTunes 9.0.3?
    You would think they would be available from the download link location.

    I agree and find it odd, but then, there is only the most rudimentary and superficial 'notes' -
    iTunes 9 also includes many other improvements, such as HE-AAC encoding and playback, more flexibility with Smart Playlists rules, simpler organization of your media files inside an iTunes Media folder, and more.
    Nothing like "fixed bug with using..."

    Well, I have this printer too, and I get the following response from the System Prefs Printers and Scanners when I select to add this printer:
    "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software."
    When you go to the Epson website for this particular printer it says:
    "The latest drivers for this product are available only via Apple's Software Update."
    And finally, when you go to Software Update it says: "No updates available"
    I second OMT8.
    Yes, the driver file at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 allowed me to finally install my printer, but does Apple have _any idea_ how long it takes to download a 1.08GB file over a 1.5mbps DSL connection?
    Never mind how much of my pricey new SSD is being consumed by the resulting 1.80GB of driver files all for _one_ printer driver that should maybe occupy 200K?
    Or that the primary article on OS X printer drivers (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669) -- which does indicate that the Artisan 830 is supported -- does not mention or link to the driver file that's needed to make it work?
    Or what a complete violation of Apple's "it just works" gestalt it is to be confronted with the above Catch-22 and to have to search the web and then go through all of the above to make a new laptop talk to a two-year-old printer?
    Yes, my printer now works, and yes, Apple's Support Communities were instrumental in getting to this point. But spending all morning (plus download time) getting a printer driver installed tastes way too much like I paid for Apple and got Microsquish.

  • Experts - where are the main settings for country currency settings

    Hi
    where are the main settings for different country currency settings.
    Ex:
    us,canada and europe customers us$, canada $, europe euro,
    How the pricing will effect for different country customers?
    Any one can help me on this.
    Any documents on thes please send to [email protected]
    Thanks
    Kris

    You can find this in the following path.
    SPRO->GENERAL SETTINGS> SET COUNTRIES>DEFINE COUNTRIES-->
    Here countries have an ISO CODE
    Then
    SPRO->GENERAL SETTINGS>CURRENCIES-->CHECK CURRENCY CODES
    Here ISO codes mapped to currencies.
    If CCode currency = Customer master currency, then transactions will happens in that currency
    If CCode currency<> Customer master currency, then the exchange rate will come into play to convert customer currency to company code currency.
    And anway if you want a different currency from the country currency, you can mention that in ccode configuration. The presence of currency in company code configuration is must and hence configuration at country level is not needed I think
    Hope this helps.

  • Where are the swipe preferences for calendar located

    Hi
    Where are the swipe preferences for calendar located?  Is it two fingers swipe down to goto the next month?
    Thank you in advance.

    I don't know that there are any preferences for setting what swiping does in the Calendar.
    Two finger swipes left and right skip months in month view. They skip weeks in week view. Two fingers up and down scroll up and down (which does nothing in month view).

  • Where are the profiles stored for Profile Manager.

    Where are the profiles stored for Profile Manager?
    I created a profile attached to a user group and then made the mistake of removing the group without first deleting the profile.
    Now the orphan profile can't be managed (it's no longer visible) and is still being pushed out to users.
    The group I deleted had another group as it's members.
    Example:
    Active Sync User Group was a member of VPN Group.
    VPN Group was deleted (it had the VPN settings payload)
    Profile with VPN settings are still pushed out to Active Sync User Group even though VPN Group no longer exists.
    I'm hoping I can manually remove this profile but I'm thinking it may be contained in Postgres. If that's the case I would appreciate any suggestions/methods to access the database to make modifications.
    Thanks
