m15chief Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 i have the official (not yet released) a10 bios to fix the nvidia problem on the m14x r2, happy to post it but limited by the crazy restrictions on here for new members.

svl7 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I already have a copy of it. Haven't had time to look at it so far, but I guess the updated the vbios. No idea why it isn't on the Dell site / ftp yet.You should be able to post attachements as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m15chief Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/69966844/M14R2A10WIN.zipAttachments still wont go, but I can link to my dropbox account. All seems very stable since the a10 update only thing was the msata wasn't immediately recognised but all seems ok after a few boots.

svl7 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hmm ok, this needs checking.Anyways, A10 includes some nice changes, it comes with new SATA drivers, latest Intel IRST option rom, some more updated drivers, apparently some changes for the graphics driver at boot and also some fixes in the setup utility.Makes me wonder why Dell doesn't upload this. Also why they don't include the latest IRST orom in the M17x R4 / M18x R2 bios... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m15chief Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 It was emailed through dell uk support after a threat to request a full refund. Apparently US support still deny its existence.Worked fine for me with one minor exception. I was using the msata for the OS. After the flash the msata wasnt recognised. I went into the bios and changed raid back to ahci and it booted fine.Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 You might want to update your IRST drivers, Dell included the latest option rom in this bios (as mentioned above). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliant Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 If I am on A09 and everything works just fine, do I really need to update to A10? Will it benefit me in any way? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Improved Sata drivers and some uefi fixes... if you want to use fast boot then you should update, else do whatever you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliant Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thank you for your prompt reply. However, I am still unable to download for whatever reason (I think because of the number of posts)... Hopefully the moderator will give me access Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinooks Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I just downloaded the A10 from the Dell driver's page. Flashed it and it's up and running. No problems so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
