New BIOS update for T400's with Switchable Graphics

#1 Post by vinuneuro » Mon Sep 06, 2010 10:32 pm

Do not install this update. It made random pixels all over the screen lighter than others. I've gone back to 3.18.

Lenovo Support & downloads - BIOS update utility - ThinkPad R400, T400

Version 3.19
BIOS: 3.19 / ECP: 1.06

* (Fix) Fixed an issue where the LCD screen might be wavy (The discrete graphic models only).
* (Fix) Fixed an issue where the computer might not boot when McAfee Endpoint Encryption was installed.

It has been working just fine for me, for a couple of weeks now. :banana:

I have a problem you mentioned but I couldn't find the way to go back to previous version.
Would you let me know the way to go back to previous version?

Bill, maybe it's screen dependent. I've got an LG led backlit screen.

spooky, older versions are the bottom of the BIOS page:

I'm not sure about that. I'm running that BIOS version on my T400(which I recently refitted the LG WXGA+ LED display to) with no issues whatsoever.

However, I'm disappointed that they still haven't released the updated Win7 driver for switchable graphics. :/
