When you ran the BIOS update, the program should have saved your old BIOS
for you to reinstall if need be.  I am guessing you are in the same boat as
me and deleted that image or no longer have it.

My ultimate solution to fixing all of the bugs in this laptop was to just
bite the bullet and install Win7.  9.04 was great, worked just fine but had
a slow boot time and poor battery life.  9.10 has much quicker boot time and
excellent battery life, but everything else fell apart (Wifi lockups,
touchpad issues, brightness key issues, hibernate, and on and on).
Hopefully 10.04 will come close, but I just couldn't wait for a working OS
and had to use what was available to me.

Ultimately, I have this laptop up for sale since Ubuntu doesn't run very
well on it.
