6935 firmware update 1.19

When I try to update my 6935 and start the program it says ROM not found or something along those lines... any idea?

 

1)Run with Admin Permission
2)Make sure the BIOS Image file exist.
3)Make sure you are running on the correct OS bit
If you are on 64bit try flashing in DOS Mode if possible.
Actually you should flash in DOS Mode whenever possible.

 

OK thanks, tried administrator permission, i am on 64 bit and will try flashing dos mode when I come home.

 

I think that you need to rename bios file from KM2000FR.119 to KM2000FR.119.fd
looks like they forgot to put extension for bios file. It worked for me.

 

Can anyone confirm that this bios update has a VT option? I hate to install it and then crack it to enable VT. Is there a change log for this version?

 

another bump for changelog!

 

Thanks atridhr

I Just Rename KM2000FR.119 To KM2000FR.fd , And It`s Work

anyone with any benchies yet? or comparistions between older BIOSes?

 

I see Acer have added a little description to their website as to what BIOS 1.19 supposedly fixes:

Fixes media console can't auto wake.

See screenshot:

 

Hello,

i have this experiences with bios version 1.19 on Acer 6935G (vs older bios versions):

- I mean that notebook is slightly more powerful
- the processor fan is slightly fewer disruptive
- notebook consumes battery power by power off supply state (and AC power off) too much (10 - 15% per night) - bios version 1.10 and 1.13 haven't this problem

That's why I installed back version 1.13 and all is ok. I tried bios version 1.14 too, but there was a bug - when you power off, notebook will auto start from power off state.

 

Same issue with Bios 1.19 for 8930G.

 

@jirkaz
1) I can confirm consumption of battery life when computer is powered down completely (i.e. turned off, not hibernated or stand-by'ied) with 1.19 bios
2) Hard to tell for sure, but I think that fan has also became less noisy
3) instead of of saying that laptop is more powerful, I would say it now uses ACPI features more efficiently (i.e. GPU and CPU clock down/up faster and as a result when we need power we have them running on full load, and when we don't they clock down; seems like CPU-Z/GPU-Z are also confirming this)

So despite the battery issue, I am keeping this bios for now, since my laptop is anyway connected to the powersource almost at all times (even at night)

 

now replaced by v1.20, any early-adopters?
