Christopher, the BIOS update package you are referring me to contains only Windows runnable files, and doesn't contain the README file your BIOSUpdate link is referring to:
Extracting cabinet: Downloads/sp55640.exe extracting bios/HPQFlash.exe extracting bios/Rom.CAB extracting bios/WSSP55640.rtf WSSP55640.rtf is giving directions only for Windows, too. No mention of how to create an ISO image to perform the update, or alike. On the other hand, there is no Windows or DOS of any kind on my PC, and no space left to create one ... How sure are you that the outdated BIOS is causing the issue, and if so, do you have any hint how to get the bios flashed anyway? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1390764 Title: Display remains fully dimmed after resume from suspend Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After resuming from suspend the display returns fully dimmed, and display brightness can't be adjusted, neither using FN keys, nor using KDE power management control. The issue occurs regardless whether the suspend state was activated by low battery, by closing the display, or by explicitly selecting sleep mode in KDE. Killing and restarting X does not solve the problem. A reboot does. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.5 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: michael 2554 F.... pulseaudio michael 2784 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=8dc81a6f-65e9-443d-b850-0f62a1ca52c4 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-05-13 (909 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120424) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard HP EliteBook 8530w Package: linux (not installed) PccardctlStatus: Socket 0: 3.3V 16-bit PC Card Subdevice 0 (function 0) bound to driver "pata_pcmcia" ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcFB: 0 nouveaufb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.13.0-39-generic root=/dev/mapper/vg00-lv_root ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-39.66-generic 3.13.11.8 PulseList: Error: command ['pacmd', 'list'] failed with exit code 1: No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.
