NEW BIOS UPDATE9s) from LENOVO
Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 3:09 pm
NEW BIOS UPDATE(s) are avalible for all/most TPs now
So; now I see Lenovo has changed its Support page(s) and seems more stable (downloads actually do work @ a decent speeds compared to of PAST!)...... and I have thos observation(s).....
I was updating my personal TP Edge (e520) and noticed that there is a new ADDITIONAL FEATURE = REGION CODE - saw this is the bios update was going thru - and one of the places CLEARLY MENTION - "ADD NEW FEATURE = REGION CODE".
Got me bit curious ! - How & Where is this feature in BIOS used?
So after the updates was completed; after reboot my first stop was at BIOS SCREEN(s) - ((yes Lenovo has made silly way of geting to TP EDGE BIOS via 'enter' instead of F1)) Shock Horror .... the "REGION CODE" nowhere to be seen....
Am I missing something here ?
So I get more 'curious' and update my older W510!
and am on lookout for SAME THINGS!!!! ------yips there it is!! it 'flashed past me" again
So two questions:
a) how many other pple have noticed this "UPDATE"??
- is this just something for SOME NEW MODELS?
- another page at lenovo support seems to say its for "ALL MODELS"
b) how is this feature used ?
- what would happen to pple with backdoor/SLIC Table (SLIC.BIN or ACPISLIC.BIN) - installing "win7 Corp versions etc etc
