Dell released the A10 BIOS 19 May 2008 and updated it 21 June 2013.
From Terminal:
user@latitude-d620:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
A10
user@latitude-d620:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
05/16/2008
This date does not match Dell's. man dmidecode
does state, "[Because it does not] probe for the actual hardware[,] the presented information [is] possibly unreliable." Is this an example of unreliableness? Does this date indicate when the BIOS was last updated, demonstrating mine is outdated? or only the release date itself, implying nothing about when mine was last updated?
How do I determine whether my "A10" is the 2013 updated version?
