9550 bios 1.2.14

Looks like dell just released version 1.2.14 for the 9550. It's supposed to fix the 60% charging issue that people were experiencing after going to 1.2.13.

I will try it and see what happens.

I have been on the phone to them and it is a fix for the 60% charge issue but doesn't resolve the 4k panel flicker.

 

I just installed this Version and I can confirm, the Battery charging goes finally over 60%.

 

4k panel with flicker ?

 

Yeah my laptop finally charges appropriately again. Sadly not a 4k system so I cannot comment on the flicker fun you guys are having. Gotta love Dell...

 

I have a 4k system but never experienced the flickering.

 

Do you use the laptop with low brightness, around 20% as that and below seems to be the area where it acts up.

 

Ahhh you are right. right now, the first time since I got this rig (around 3month) I dropped the brightness below 20% and the flickering start. Since I'm working 10h a day with that device I never droped below 30% before.

 

Do me a favor and lodge it with Dell, the ore that do the further up the list it will go!

I use this evenings with low side lights and anything above 20% is brighter than I need. Only time I get it above that is outside!
