Hi Christopher,

I've updated the BIOS to A15, but without any result.

Between opening this bug and now, i updated to 13.04 and I just did an
update of the kernel:

$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.8.0-27-generic (buildd@roseapple) (gcc version 4.7.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.3-1ubuntu1) ) #40-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 9 00:17:05 UTC 2013


Your requested output:
$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
A15
05/17/2013
