    Question how to update BIOS on Dell inspiron laptop?

    model 1764

    I installed REL 5.5 on this Dell laptop (originally win 7) and everything works ok except when i get to the login GUI the LCD brightness (or lack of) sets to it's lowest so i have to click the f5 button to brighten the screen. If I log out, the LCD resets to the dimmest setting (can hardly make out the login GUI) and again I have to click on f5.
    I believe I need to update the BIOS but I don't know how. The BIOS update I dound on-line if a xxx.exe file. How do I go about this?

    thanks in advance,

    ~jv
