Pay for a bios update ...that's ludicrous. e-system charges its pc owners to fix e-systems mistakes or improve stability and usability?
Wish I could help, but you would know better than me where to get something for free.

The bull$h1t icing on the cake is that if you go through the right channels (esupport.com) you get redirected to another site & have to pay nearly $40 for an update!!
You would have thought that it would be free considering I paid full price for my laptop
