You can check current BIOS and Embedded Controller versions using dmidecode command line tool. For example: bash# dmidecode | grep 70 Version: 70ET69WW (1.29 ) String 1: IBM ThinkPad Embedded Controller -[70HT28WW-1.05 ]- The following table lists direct links to BIOS updates for most Thinkpad Models. Refer to BIOS Upgrade for instructions on how to perform a BIOS upgrade. The FW model column is what actually identifies which sort of firmware (BIOS and Embedded Controller) should be installed in a ThinkPad. Machines with the same firmware model use the same BIOS and Embedded Controller firmware. It can also be found as the OEM table ID in the ACPI DSDT. It is formed by the characters "TP-", plus the first two characters from the BIOS/EC update part number. |
