    Sorry i thought you had an intel model. Have a read at this instead.

    You need to install the quick launch button drivers to use the FN key functions

    the firewire drivers should be coupled with the memory card reader drivers

    No, BIOS version wouldnt really matter. You just need the right drivers. Do you know what brand your memory card reader/fireiwre is?

    Is it RICOH?

    I have the same problem, can't get the firewire to work. I believe it is Ricoh, yes.
