    ANyone that got that upgrade to work?

    When I try I get a error message.

    Since I still is fighting to get my 6615WD to work properly Im trying everything to get it work.

    My problem is still freezing and BSOD:s when I try to play games on it.

    And yes It's been in to service and No they couldnt find anything wrong. (Except I still got freezing screens and BSOD :( )


    So anyone got the Bios tp work or not?

    Were you having problems with the original BIOS version?

    Nope,

    Ive updated all the way to 1.09 without any problem.

    Ive installed Vista already and now when I try to update to 1.10 I get the following error message when trying to flash:

    "Platform signature not found in the interface"

    Anyone got a clue? :confused:

    My guess is that there is some sort of compatibility issue with Vista and the new BIOS. Perhaps Vista profiles your system in a different way than XP does--and thus is not recognized by the new BIOS.

    Might be that.

    Lets hope someone from Zepto read this and fixes the problem. :mad:

    I had the same problem, and according to my bios i've got 1.09... I was told by their tech support to install 1.09v (even though I supposedly have it), and then install 1.10...

    Also, if you've got the Sony Slot-in drive, the problems will not be fixed by this bios patch... Sony is claiming that it's zepto's problem, while zepto think that the problem is due to Sonys firmware... I was offered to have my slot-in exchanged to a non slot-in from samsung which have not had any troubles under vista, or wait for Samsung so come with a slot-in and get my sony slot-in switched to the samsung version instead (free of charge)...

    Onyxd.

    Nope haven't solved it yet.

    And poulrh. I did the same thing. Installed 1.09v and then tried 1.10. No luck there and i dont have the Sony slot-in drive.

    I've talked to Zepto a couple of month ago and they said that there was some peoples that had this problem and that it might be corrected in the next bios update. So i regulary check the ftp site to see if it has been released but its still 1.10.
