The following updates were made to the A02 BIOS to create the A03 BIOS:


Issues Fixed:
=============

1. Fixed a potential resource conflict that could occur with certain PC-Card modems when the Infrared (IR) port is disabled in System Setup.
2. Fixed an intermittent issue where the system could potentially hang when pressing the F12 key to access the One Time Boot menu.
3. Fixed an intermittent issue where a red banner is displayed if the F12 key is held down repeatedly during Power on Self Test (POST). 
4. Restored proper functionality to Dell Quickset Presentation Mode.
5. Fixed an issue where the operating system would rely on the secondary battery to determine the available power remaining to the notebook. If the secondary battery was critically low and the primary battery was full, the operating system could mistakenly execute a "critical suspend" function.
