TP 770 - What is the latest BIOS version available?

Applicable to: World-Wide

SYMPTOM:
Product Engineering has pulled version 1.10 BIOS, making version 1.00 BIOS the current level. This was done because of an intermittent "no video" condition at boot while in LCD video mode. This problem is under investigation by engineering.

WORKAROUND:
If a customer encounters the "no video" condition, have them restore video by pressing fn+f7 once or twice. In all test cases this restores video with no side effects.

SOLUTION:
Although this problem is minor we agreed to remove this version for quality reasons.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
If the customer is using an 8 GB hard drive, v1.10 should still be used. v1.10 is shipped with the 8 GB Option on diskette. Also, please assure any customer that this is a minor problem and they may not want to discontinue using v1.10 if they had previously installed it.
