    Yeah you can downgrade. All you do is reflash. Im not sure if it fixed my hibernation problem. Ill test in a few minutes.

    You see the problem is, that i have my setting for when i close my lid... my notebook is supposed to go into hibernation. Well, after i flashed to the latest update. I noticed that my notebook would go into hibernation. Then about 5min later it would turn back on with the fans going full blast. Then i would check the settings. Well the hibernation tab would be gone altogether. Also the setting for when i close my lid would be set to standby.
