"Error 0232: Extended RAM failed at offset:1B/1C" message comes up when remove one memory module from system. 3. The APR external device port malfunction after warm-dock APR. (Dock/Undock LED were 'OFF') 4. The CD-ROM/DVD could not be detected during restart posting after Warm Swap. 5. [DOS] System will not power off if hits power button twice to shutdown the system. 6. AC013 - The BIOS no Service Tag Number 7. AC024 - If system hangs up with no display after resuming from standby mode and press power button 4 seconds system off. Re-power on boot to win98 then keyboard function can not work. 8. AC025 - [Win ME] Invoke holding lid to S2D for 4 seconds and leave it, thus system hangs up after hibernating bar is finished 9. AC029 - [Win ME] The Power LED is always on and system doesn't auto power off if system go to hibernate after standby mode by time out. 10.AC030 - [W2K/Win ME] System can go into Setup via F2-key during resume from S2D on POST. 11.AC032 - [W2K/Win ME B2525.6] POST shows "suspend-to-disk file is absent" even the Hibernate function is enable in the W2K/Power Option. ********************************* KeyBoard BIOS (Rev. 8W2K004A.ROM) ********************************* * Keyboard BIOS change?
