Samsung X15 Plus HZM 725.....
Very nice notebook, particularly the high resolution screen. .....However, it appears afflicted with one particular irritation: a continuously running, intrusive, cooling fan.
Samsung advise it includes the latest BIOS 03BE (June '04) to keep the fan running continuously (!) and that it will be cured by downloading the previous BIOS 0B2E.
Two questions.....
Anyone running an "X15" on this earlier BIOS that could confirm this? .....At least one person has advised me not to expect much improvement (!?!).
Failing that, I seem to recall reading way back about Firmware for CPU cooling fan control. .....Any recommendations (warranty considerations apart)?
Many thanks.
