    I have been instructed to go back to one version than what I currently have. I didn't think it was possible and figured I would ask you guys before I attempt.

    Oops! I did the No No.
    It's on the 54. I have the BIOS V1.00L15. My reseller wants me to go down to V1.00L14. He feels strongly that it will fix my media bay battery issue. I do not think so....

    Myself I can't see it since the newer bios should be more up to date.

    Sometimes you have to humor them. AKA-Prove to them that they are wrong.

    What updater? There are always switches.
    Can you upload both bios files to a dropbox?
