The dangers of flashing the BIOS
I'm at last getting this Sony Vaio under control. The seemingly vital Sony driver seems to work. Wish I'd done it ages ago.
However, I've always had an issue with the temperatures on this i7 machine and though cleaning the heat exchanger helped a lot, it's always been on the verge of hot in test programs. A BIOS upgrade flash listed with the drivers mentions temperature issues. Wow. Or perhaps not.
None of the programs would take control of the fan speeds despite intimating they would.
It's a long time since I needed to flash a BIOS so I'm a tad wary, especially since they issue so many dire warnings about the power supplies not failing at the wrong moment etc.
If the worst should happen, just how does one redeem the situation, or is it a brick?
