Where can I find a free download for Phoenix bios ver. 118B (currently) update for an MDG Aptonbook computer?

Bios updates, if available, are usually available as free downloads from your system manufacturer (Samsung)

A long shot is to try contacting Phoenix or searching the internet.

Hi there,
Try going to http://www.support.dell.com click drivers and downloads and then choose the model of your computer there you will see the updated version of the BIOS.
When I went there I saw that A15 is still the version available.
Hope this helps!

Phoenix creates computer BIOS programs, not drivers. BIOS updates can usually be downloaded from the computer manufacturer's website.

Gateway does not currently have an update Bios available for your system. What that means is that they have not received/tested/released an update.

This system uses a Phoenix Technologies Bios. It is possible that they have released a Bios revision that Gateway has not released. If you go to Phoenix.com and click on Bios updates near the bottom, it links to BiosAgentPlus, a free application that will scan your system and provide you with information on obtain an updated Bios if it's available.

You want to be very cautious using this though. Your Gateway system is a n OEM product, meaning that when Gateway put this system together they have permission to make changes to the system as needed including the motherboard. It is possible that an update that this or any software that is not provided by gateway finds may not work and could cause problems. An incompatible Bios update could render your computer inoperable.

It appears this BiosAgentPlus application will also scan for updated drivers. More times than not using non-gateway provided drivers do not work. This is esspeically true with laptops. Don't download everything it suggests unless you are having a specific problem with that item. If it's not broken - don't try to fix it, especially with a non-OEM driver.

Are you certain that you need an update at this time? If you do not have a specific need that the update was written to solve, then it's best to leave it alone.

You can get the latest bios from the link below

Hope that helps,

DISCLAIMER: It is NOT recommended that you upgrade your BIOS firmware unless you are a.) experiencing a problem related to your BIOS; or b.) a qualified service technician. Updating BIOS firmware can give you undesired results, not the least of which is the complete malfunction of the computer.

Thats an old pc and flashing the bios (if not done right) could kill your pc..... with it bein so old and computers now being so cheap your best bet is to invest in a new computer. I have looked for your bios update with no luck either.
