I think this is the end of the line, but will do some digging to see if it is possible to bypass the update lockout - either by locating intermediate BIOS updates to see if they work or by looking at hardware options to see if there are any switches on the motherboard.
I have V1.00L13 M14 BIOS and have been trying to run the windows based XP to Vista BIOS update bios_19_1_r070207.exe that fails with error 'This program will not run on this PC'.
From talking to some others in the know I may be able to get a bit further with the older DOS based BIOS update utility, but I can't find older versions to download.
Do any of you have some intermediary BIOS files that I can try to install?
Thanks.
Dunno if you still need those BIOS files but some how I managed to find them, worked wonders for me...flashed from a bootable USB after upgrading to Windows 7 and it solved all my issues for the touch screen. Totally recognized now Hit me up at Tepifan at gmail.com if you need them.
