Aspire S7 392 BIOS Update Fails

DarrylB

I have an Aspire S7 392 with a BIOS version of 2.12. I see on the support page there is a newer dated BIOS but with a lower number. Specifically, version 1.08 date March 20, 2015 is at the top of the list. This version updates the keyboard controller and since I've always found the keyboard to be poor at registering keystrokes, and oftentimes missing them altogether, I thought this could be a good update.

 

However, shortly after starting the update by double clicking on the .exe file I get an error message that states this is an older version than what I currently have installed and the update stops.

 

So a few questions. Is this a newer version? Is there a way to get it installed? Will it help with the poor keyboard response that I experience.

 

Thanks.

if you have version 2.xx you can only update with 2.xx BIOS version.
