Advent 7009 Insyde MobilePro Bios update
Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 9:20 pm
Hi
I have an Advent 7009 Laptop I bought back in 2002. Its running Insyde Mobilepro Bios Version 4.00.01 (04/02/2001). I am looking to buy a new monitor for it but have found out that the Laptop wont support the higher resolution (widescreen) as the vga bios part of the bios is too old (currently 1.10.1g).
The intergrated grapics chip is a sis 650 chip. I have tried to work out what motherboard the laptop has and have so far found "dixonsxp sis 650 A1", but this may not be correct as dixons is the name of the shop i bought the laptop from, however after using a number of system diagnostic tools they all seem to return this.
According to SiS's website to get my laptop to display as the moniotrs native resolution i will need to update my vga bios (vbios) to atleast version 2.28.00 (although newer versions are available by the looks of things).
I am in the process of contacting Insyde for support but as yet no reply.
Can anyone help me finding a way to update my VGA Bios? Is there anymore info you need to help?
