I hoped that this would solve the thermal fan problem which has been an issue for vaio laptops.<BR /><BR />Unfortunately it got even worse!!! The thermal fan never goes off, it is always on!!!!! In addition the hard drive regularly switches off which some how slows down a computer.<BR /><BR />PLEASE, any one - is there any way to roll back to previous Bios version?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 14 Jun 2006 10:49:35 GMT https://community.sony.nl/t5/pcs-accessories/latest-bios-r0170x5-does-not-solve-thermal-fan-control-problem/m-p/150412#M93891 VLG2006 2006-06-14T10:49:35Z Re: LATEST BIOS (R0170X5) DOES NOT SOLVE THERMAL FAN CONTROL PROBLEM!!! https://community.sony.nl/t5/pcs-accessories/latest-bios-r0170x5-does-not-solve-thermal-fan-control-problem/m-p/150413#M93892 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I don´t know your model but at older vaios often the fan is often working permanently because of heat.
