Hello all,
I've had my M14xr1 since July 2011 it is currently running bios version A03. I Noticed that the most recent bios is the A08. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to update. For the most part my computer runs smoothly. The only two problems that I have with the computer is that the computer battery does not charge when plugged in (I believe this is due to the computer not being able to detect that the proper cable is being connected, although im using the one that came stock with the computer). The other problem that im having is that there is a CD stuck in the optical drive and wont eject. So, given all this would it be a good idea to update to the newer A08 version or just stay at the A03?
Thanks for the help and advice,
Tupac333

The BIOS update may be able to fix the charging issue. About the CD issue, have you tried updating the firmware if there is any ?

I'd be shocked if a firmware update resolved a stuck CD. Unless critical, I'm usually weary of firmware updates and generally subscribe to the if its not broke don't fix it mentality when it comes to them. Unless a firmware release notes indicates that either of those issues are "fixes" within, I'd be inclined to think there were some hardware problems.
Should I Upgrade the Bios of My M14x r1?
