    Hi, I have installed this. So far no negative effects, but who knows   It states that it addresses also some power problems, so I will watch this closely. At the moment it seems that power / fan management got better, but the battery drain issue is not solved.

    Hi everyone, my 7400 is brand new. The old BIOS 1.6.1 has a better performance, i think. With the new one i had same issue-black screen, noisy fan and slower boot.

    I am wary of Dell firmware updates.

    I have not tried it because I want the device to work and not be a barrier to my digital existence.

    I will wait until issues emerge and are tended to by the insanely not so brilliant guys at Dell.

    Hope you keep us updated about your experience in this regard.
