    1. Is their any unofficial, modded, or good BIOS for this laptop? I currently have 3508

    2. Is their anyway to update the graphics card bios for this laptop?

    3. Does this laptop support Bluetooth? I heard it did, and I heard it didn't.

    4. Is there anyway I can control fan speed?

    5. If I'm using the back USB ports of my laptop, and repeatedly plug and unlpug my speakers from the wall plug, my USB devices turn off for a quick second and come back. Is this normal?

    6. On the front of my laptop, I have 3 audio jacks. I have no idea what the 3rd one does.

    7. Is their anyway to use the € and $ keys on my laptop without Launch Manager?

    8. I have 2 switches on the front of my laptop. 1 For Bluetooth and 1 for Wifi. So if I didn't have bluetooth, what would the bluetooth swich do even? (Related to question 2)

    Also this is my first post! :)

    1. 3508 is the latest.
    2. Not a clue. What for? And what video card does the laptop has? If it's Intel as I suspect then the answer is no.
    3. You said there is a switch for it so I guess it does.
    4. No.
    5. Not really but I don't know why it happen..
    6. 1 x Audio - Line-in - Mini-phone 3.5 mm, 1 x Microphone - Input - Mini-phone 3.5 mm, 1 x Audio - SPDIF output/headphones - Mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm
    7. Yes, just use the Fn+symbol.
    8. If you don't have a bluetooth this switch does nothing.
