    I have a Toshiba M645-S4055 and i am wondering if I download the newest version (1.70) will that include all the fixes from previous Bios versions or only the fixes in 1.70? Reason I am asking is that I have no issues that were fixed in 1.70, but it seems there is a fix from Bios 1.50 for an issue I am having.

    So, download newest version of 1.70 which will include all fixes or just download 1.50?

    They are cumulative, so yes, you will get all of the updates to that point.

    When you flash your BIOS, it's not a patch like a software update is, that only changes certain things. It actually goes through and re-writes the entire BIOS, so it doesn't matter what version you have, or how many are in-between, after flashing you will have 1.70
