    I still have the 3121 Bios and everything is working fine. You can find my version in Acer's Support page. There is a new BIOS there if you like to try, the 3238. I am a bit hesitant going with the update because I have upgraded the CPU and GPU and I don't know how the laptop will react with the new BIOS. But as they say: if it isn't broken, why fix it? You can try the 3121 or the 3238, let us know with which one you were lucky.

    EDIT: Believe it or not, I just updated to the new 3238 BIOS by mistake! and I don't see any problems so far. The media keys are working all of them in WMP12.

    hi

    i tried all the bios on support site and the only one that media keys works was with v.3211.
    The problem is that with latest bios i can't even activate the wireless trough the key.
    The only that works are the key for empowering technology and acer arcade.
    Volume and the other keys doesn't work if pressed.

    Even tried to reinstall OS but with no luck.

    Just to inform that 6930g shares bios with 6930.

    Fair enough, so what OS are you running? And what version of Launch Manager?
