Christopher, the BIOS update package you are referring me to contains
only Windows runnable files, and doesn't contain the README file your
BIOSUpdate link is referring to:

Extracting cabinet: Downloads/sp55640.exe
  extracting bios/HPQFlash.exe
  extracting bios/Rom.CAB
  extracting bios/WSSP55640.rtf

WSSP55640.rtf is giving directions only for Windows, too. No mention of
how to create an ISO image to perform the update, or alike. On the other
hand, there is no Windows or DOS of any kind on my PC, and no space left
to create one ...

How sure are you that the outdated BIOS is causing the issue, and if so,
do you have any hint how to get the bios flashed anyway?

Title:
  Display remains fully dimmed after resume from suspend

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After resuming from suspend the display returns fully dimmed, and
  display brightness can't be adjusted, neither using FN keys, nor using
  KDE power management control. The issue occurs regardless whether the
  suspend state was activated by low battery, by closing the display, or
  by explicitly selecting sleep mode in KDE. Killing and restarting  X
  does not solve the problem. A reboot does.
