BIOS update available for HP

[moonPeople]

hello
this post was a mistake ! read the reply`s please.
I have noticed there are a lot of people who use HP according to the Mint hardware profile page.
I was recently at HP for a HP 1030NR and there was a critical up date for the BIOS.
could be updates for others ?, just to let ya all know.
i will do an update tomorrow, for now i need to catch a few winks before work.

Unless I'm mistaken, this isn't a question Note that most vendors advice you to not install BIOS updates unless you are currently having problems. I suggest reading the release notes of a BIOS update and seeing if you need it or not. That said, usually BIOS updates go fine. Though as with any software, a new version may introduce new bugs.

I am in total agreement with most vendors advice about not doing it unless you absolutely have to. The risk of a failed flash rendering your computer an expensive paperweight is ever present and one which could land you with an expensive repair bill should it not be included in the terms of the warranty (if still valid).

yes i should have thought twice before posting.
i usually wait a few days to look and smell posts before submitting them. i work a graveyard and em a zombie. the message at HP included the word critical.
