I know how disappointing it can be when an update does not appear to do what you expect. In this case, however, I have to question your reaction to this one. It sounds like Lenovo recognized an issue with the heat and the video card, and they had an update for the BIOS that would address it. Even though you may not hae been informed of how this would modify the running of the fan, it sounds like an effective fix.
I agree that any update should not only list what the fix will adress, but in cases where it has impact on the battery life or noise level, it should at te least make a note to the usr to allow the choice to install or not to install the upgrade.
Just between us, I would rather deal with the slight noise from a laptop fan and the slightly shorter battery life than to have my video card or another component fail due to an easily fixed heating issue.... but that is just one man's opinion.
