    Hi
    I purchased mine GT70 2PC dominator (Gtx870m) Yesterday and tried to update mine BIOS.
    I succesfuly updated it to the second newest BIOS Date: 2014-3-04 E1763IMS.50T

    MSI Global GT70 2PC Dominator

    This is the link where i downloaded the BIOS now i got one question which Update File should I use for the latest Update ?
    There are two files one says: If your system BIOS version is E1763IMS.500 ~ E1763IMS.509, please must update BIOS to E1763IMS.50A first.
    Another says If your system BIOS version is E1763IMS.700 ~ E1763IMS.709, please must update BIOS to E1763IMS.70A first.

    The problem is mine BIOS is now E1763IMS.50T I am not sure which File I should use could you guys help me out?

    I apologize for my poor english

    It tells you in the notes, one is for raid as a default setting, one is for ahci as a default setting.

    However your bios is newer so i would not flash an older one.

    Thanks for the reply but could you explain why did they release an older Version on 2014.3.21 and the newest is released on 2014.3.4 ?

    I was going off the version number myself but maybe they are being odd about it.

    Either way any particular reason you are changing it?

    Well I am trying to upgrade my BIOS because after I upgraded my ec Firmware the touchpanel(WIFI FAN ....) stopped working it wont light up when I press it.
    I thought I might need to upgrade the BIOS aswell but it didnt solve my problem either. BTW I didnt do the EC Reset after I upgraded my EC Firmeware I did it 10 hours later(could this cause the problem)?

    And something off the topic : does Powernotebooks.com offer international shipping? I am living in Austria (europe)

    Yes we do, the EC you flashed should have been partnered to a corresponding bios, they should always be updated at the same time.

    I fixed the problem by reflashing the EC Firmware it seems like I did it wrong last time but now everything is working fine. Thanks for the Replies.

    Not a problem. Make sure you always get both updated at the same time. Flashing again is a good option if a couple of strange things crop up after an update.

    Flash the other one, for the correct version of your bios. Follow the instructions carefully and don't update it again without needing to for a specific reason.

    Thank you! I tried to flash the other one before, but I forgot to plug the AC adapter,,, That's why it didn't work. I'm so happy that it's fixed now.
