If you really need dmidecode, give me a pointer to it, not that I'm sure how to revert the BIOS image... This is assuming it's the BIOS which causes the problem, as opposed to the embedded controller which I upgraded from 1.00 to 1.02 contemperaneously. And the answer to 'where is the new firmware' is, for BIOS & embedded controller: http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-39366.html http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-40022.html Sadly they aren't indexed properly from the main IBM site (i.e. find 'T23 BIOS' finds 1.02).
