    The last bios update v1.10 for your PH18-72 laptop is to do with the laptops EC chip (that is a programmed chip like the bios chip is) on your laptop and its referred to as the Embedded Controller, which is a small computer within your laptop that manages the interaction between hardware components and the operating system. It controls various functions such as keyboard backlighting, battery management, and power distribution. The EC also helps in providing thermal management and system security features, making it an essential component for the proper functioning of your laptop. So look at all those aspects of your laptop and see if this bios update has improved any of those features, Good luck and hope this helps you out.

    The OP just wants someone else with a ph18-72 to TOFTT by updating their bios to 1.10 before he does.
