He he I still run my system with BIOS 1.02 that came out on the first 9750 machines in December 2005. No issues running GNU/Linux with that.

Can someone please email me the update? I tried emailing Sager but they won't respond.

shanley · 08-09-2006, 10:33 AM

Sager is very good at responding. Make sure you give then the serial number and the name of who purchased the computer.

Obsydian · 08-10-2006, 04:23 AM

I had put everything they asked for, and nothing. However, I did get it emailed to me so thanks a ton!

I've sent two mails and made a phone request over the past 3 days and all I got was some indecipherable mail that looks like it was chinese run through altavista translator. With no bios attachment.

AKsurfer · 08-12-2006, 02:04 AM

Here were my instructions, which I followed and everything went fine. It flashed an early 06 date, I may ask for 107...

"Unzip the file to .iso then use Nero select BURN IMAGE TO DISC, and change the cd-rom drive as bootable in the BIOS, so it can boot up from the drive , before flash the BIOS make sure the unit is using the ac power to do the BIOS update, After update the BIOS need load the setup default in the BIOS under EXIT options.[David Liu] after laod the bios setup default check the raid setting need change to Disable..."

The last bit about the raid setting, where is the optioin to disable this?

My original issue to sager was long boot times. the description being that just before my F2 option comes up it flashes a raid status, I believe this is what he is refering to and recommending I disable. Will this help with the long windows booting?

Thanks,
AKsurfer

Oh sweet I got my reply.

SUTTERCANE · 08-19-2006, 09:38 AM

So here is the BIG question. Guys do you see any noticible difference in performance after the flash?

thefrawg · 08-22-2006, 10:29 AM

I haven't noticed any difference in performance. I upgraded because it mentioned some changes to the way fans were handled. That being said, I haven't noticed any change there either.

The only difference I've noticed in the past couple of weeks is that now when I disable the touchpad (fn-F10) I get a small beep. I wish this were a bios option or a permanent toggle (as opposed to once per reboot).

dman101 · 08-26-2006, 02:28 AM

I am user of standard notebook D900K.
Can somobody send me bios of 8750, I would like to update using Sager BIOS?

phoenix_06 · 09-28-2006, 08:58 PM

thefrawg!! Thanks for telling me that Fn-F10 turned off the touchpad! I had been wondering that for a long while...

I get no beep when I disable it. I got the lastest BIOS when I had some support questions dealing with my video card overheating. Didn't see any noticable changes with the BIOS. It probably handles the 7900 GTX better I would guess- new video BIOS too perhaps?

mirekm · 09-29-2006, 01:43 AM

OK, I found BIOSes from Alienware, and Eurocom:

it can be found at:
