The general consensus is if it's working fine don't update it.
The download site should list what the BIOS update fixes.
A bad flash can destroy a laptop.
Often a desktop will survive if it has a crash free BIOS and
you have backed up the old BIOS, or it came on the boards
support CD.
So it's the old motto, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
The notebooks manual, support CD, and flash utility should
say what you can and can't do, and if you can recover from
a bad flash.
