Hello, I've been trying to update BIOS following the guidelines in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBIOS
and downloading the A05 version from http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/inspiron-15z-5523?driverId=DHP19&osCode=W832&fileId=3203661923&languageCode=en&categoryId=BI but none worked, it seems that the DOS emulator cannot load the exe file (for instance dosemu gives ERROR: EMU86: error 94). Should I try something else? Thanks Giacomo 2013/7/16 Christopher M.
