Like PPAs, it's best to only update the BIOS when it's absolutely necessary. If something goes haywire, you can end up with a bricked computer.

It was along time ago, but I updated a BIOS for someone once, and it somehow put a password on it. It ended up costing me my Dell laptop, as he was a business customer, and he HAD to have a working laptop PRONTO!

Hasn't happened since, but you know what they say: Once bitten...

Thanks for the warning. I was aware of the danger of updating the bios. I did have  laptop years ago that wasnt that pleased with the bios update and it turned into a expensive doorstop Sad

Life on earth is expensive but it does include a free trip around the sun.
