Hi all,
I'm looking for a BIOS update for my E-System laptop but don't think I should have to pay for it. Does any1 know where I can get hold of the latest Phoenix AwardBIOS update?
I know the latest is v6 and I want it! *stamps feet* LOL
Cheers
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.
Good Luck
Just a question? How does one know what version one has?
Orb, you gotta be kidding me. You have to PAY for a BIOS update?!?
I'm in shock. Revolt. Kill. Exceedingly foul language!
(And yes, 'Beginning', that appears to be your BIOS version)
I remember several years ago, I had a Phx Bios I wanted to upgrade, & every where I looked on the internet, they wanted to sell you a new chip with the bios already installed. So I was more careful when I picked my motherboards, that they would have Award Bios chips.
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
Thanks for the interest though guys & gals
the only thing i could find were direct links to this thread
srry
maybe another oem manufacturer uses the same bios, and distribute it freely.
my old e-machine had phoenix award, i believe i got the update from their site (for free)
