Hi Chris,

If you can't find a BIOS update HERE then there probably isn't one.

If you could be a bit more specific about your keyboard problem there may be another solution.

Sounds like a dodgy keyboard cable to me

As it's intermittent, I'm fairly sure Kee-Lo is right (he usually is!)

Is your Vaio still under warranty? Could be the best thing would be to open a case with Vaio-Link support.
