Updating your BIOS is not crucial at all unless you made a major system change such as a giant hard drive that your
Bios can't work with.
Especially now, with no access to a manufacturer, If your laptop works, Don't Mess With it!
The BIOS is a small operating system that configures all the components on the motherboard to communicate with all the other components on the motherboard, and some external componants that are connected to the motherboard, like cdrom's, dvd's, floppy's drives, LS-120, zip drive, usb,
Printer and serial ports, and even keyboard connectors
and touch pad and your mouse connector. So if every thing works, don't worry about updating your bios.
