    Hello,

    I just bought a SL400 a couple of days ago and updated the BIOS to 1.18.

    This was a big mistake as the new BIOS makes the fan run at full throttle even when the notebook is idling. This is very frustrating and I am sure it is not meant to happen. :(

    I tried downloading the 1.16 BIOS and running the exe file, but this does not downgrade the BIOS back to 1.16.

    Could someone please inform me on how to downgrade the BIOS to 1.16.
    Cheers!
