    I understand that I need to PM GenTech on these forums to get the bios but does anybody have the link that can just post it here? I'm not able to use the pm functions on this forum for some reason and the problem with keyboard lag and missing keystrokes is really bothering me to the point where I cannot enjoy this laptop. If somebody could post or pm me the links to this BIOS version, that would be great. ASUS only has up to 205 on their website, so this is why I am asking.

    send me email, the reason I didn't post the BIOS link is because it's beta and Asus don't want me to post it.

    Alright, I sent you an email at [email protected]

    Hopefully you can send me the bios so I can fix the keyboard problem. Thanks.

    I got my laptop from newegg last week and it came with the 205 BIOS, which is kind of weird.

    On another note, I just got the 207 BIOS now so all is well, thanks Ken.

    Hold on, GenTechPC, is it Beta version 207 for G50V or G50VT? Let me know if there's any difference between the two BIOSes.

    It's for G50V not G50VT, both have different VGA BIOS.

    Is it possible for you to obtain one for G50VT yet?

    I may be getting the g50vt-a2 to replace my old g50v-a2 I returned, my non vt came with 207 dated for september loaded on it already. (even though a dude at asus said 207 was not allowed out yet my notebook came with it...)

    Anyway my question is anyone know any news of a bios for the vt model? I check asus and it only lists a 205 but whats odd is that 205 is the same 205 on the non vt, the link goes to the same spot... I thought the two notebooks needed diffrent bios because the video card? Why would asus link them to the same?

    Yeah they didn't even allow me to post BIOS 207, that's why I ask people to send me PM or email, but now they already uploaded to their website.

    G50VT came with BIOS 207 BIOS date 09/02/2008.
