    Thanks!

    I agree!

    Has anyone heard when the non-beta bios would be released? Are we close?

    i think it'll be better to have a summary of the problem and the solution (i.e. beta bios/future bios) in a new sticky. then people won't have to sift through all 56 pages of this thread.

    I would really enjoy a sticky summary of how to repair the graininess.

    I used Winflash to flash the bios to the Newer 1104 BIOS. It works fine. The 1101 "Beta" also works fine.

    Which version of Winflash? Where can I download it? I'm only core duo, it won't be of a problem, right?

    Look at the first post in this thread ==> Link

    The 1104 BIOS fixes the graininess issue as well as allows the S96J to use a Core2Duo. An S96J should work with a CoreDuo out-of-the-box.

    Winflash worked fine for me. If not make a bootable cd with one of Ken's (Gentech) images. Or a bootable USB will work as well, you can use AFLASH and the bios file.

    Goodluck,
    Zack

    Thanks for the quick and nice reply.

    It's just that when I do the Winflash procedure, on boot up, before flashing the BIOS, it says "error occured while reading the file".

    Maybe I should do it the Nero image way.

    EDIT: Updated successfully with the Nero image.
