WARNING: Updating the BIOS wrong can brick your laptop. Update only if you have a problem or know what you are doing.
Howto:
- Download the CD-image (.ISO) from Zepto's FTP-server here.
- Burn the image to a CD. I use a CD-RW for that purpose.
- Make sure your laptop have a fully charged battery and are connected to the AC-mainline.
- Reboot your laptop and boot from the CD. Try hitting F12 if your CD-drive isn't first in the boot device priority.
- When the CD boots up it will automatically overwrite the old firmware without any confirmation.
- To confirm that you are running the new firmware, go into the BIOS-menu and check the current version.

Hey,
I'm on the 2nd week with 1.16 in my 3215W.
All seems to be working OK, although suspend have stopped working (again - again).
I'll attribute that to me fiddling with "other issues".

Ok, that sound good. I did'nt know that there were a new BIOS release. I'll try to update my BIOS later and leave a new post on the blog.
Suspend/Hibernate always seems to be a problem on various laptops nowadays. I hope it will get more stable in the future.
Hi there. I can see that you don't have any contact information on your webpage. This is a very good place to start searching for znote3215w issues. Though, I just wondered, do your microphone on top of the screen work and which input method to use to get it to work?
