BIOS updates for Asus Eee PC 1005PE and 1001P increases screen brightness

  • Tweet
  • Email

When I reviewed the Asus Eee PC 1005PE, I didn’t really think the display was any dimmer than other netbook screens I’ve tested. But then, I tend to keep display brightness near the middle setting most of the time.

But if you’re looking for a brighter display, Asus has issued BIOS updates for the Eee PC 1005PE and 1001P which should make the screen brighter.The latest BIOS for each model is version 0804.

Members of the EeeUser forum report that the update also seems to affect the netbook’s fan speed. After applying the update, users report that the fan seems to change speeds less frequently.

    My asus 1005ha had the same bios update, and 8 bios updates later there still going. It would be nice to have the machine right before it's out the door. I could see 1 or 2 updates within a year. Sell now fix problems later. I do like the 1005ha and it is a fairly quick netbook, especially with XP.

    Both the drivers are actually the same thing.

    So that means it will brighten both!
