I'm upgrading my video card to nvidia 8600GT and apperently I need to flashback my bios to v2.06 (my current is 2.07). This laptop was a gift so I dont have access to my hive or anything. I would be very appreciated if anybody could send it to my email xceller8@hotmail.com. Also, does anybody know where can I find the housing for the video card (frame or w/e u call it, i'm kinda newbie to all these things) since it wasnt supported from where i got it.

Thanks a lot for the file. Kinda miss the 4bit color now lol.
Things been working fine so far. The only problem is that I can't seem to change the brightness setting. It always stays on max brightness. Does anybody know if this is normal?

FN key does not work? How are the power settings?

cheers ...

The FN key works for everything else except brightness.
I changed the brightness directly from the power option but no luck.
Could it be because of the driver? I got it from laptopvideo2go.

Anything is possible. Want to give our own NBF Mobile Force driver a shot?

So it was due to the driver. I tried from the link you gave me and now thing works perfectly. Thanks a lot.
