Re: [ubuntu-uk] BIOS Upgrades
Hi Nigel, On my ACER system, I had to download a bootable CD which would then rewrite the BIOS. Make sure it isn't interrupted though, if it is interrupted while doing a BIOS chip update it can cause major problems.

[ubuntu-uk] BIOS Upgrades
Hi Guys I bought an Acer Aspire One 521 netbook last week and, of course, immediately got rid of Windows 7 and put Xubuntu 10.10 on instead. Unfortunately I cannot get the headphone socket to work, no matter what I try. Since the netbook's main role will be as a media player, this is something of a problem. The socket worked fine under Windows 7, so I'm satisfied it's not a hardware failure. In my investigations I discovered that the BIOS is v1.01. The latest version on the Acer website is 1.10, so I'm sorely tempted to upgrade it, in the hope that this might deliver a solution. Trouble is, I've no idea how to go about it. Can anybody describe the process and, just as importantly, advise whether BIOS is a possible cause of the problem in the first place? Thanks very much.
