I've already updated it before (maybe a few times as I remember having some trouble), so I'm not going to risk it again until we have confirmation that the SH61F83 and SH68F83 controllers have the same support for write cycles. Has anyone actually encountered an issue with writing to SH61F83 too many times? I'm itching to give this a go as it sounds like it makes a really nice change.
Many thanks to all involved in this!
Can anyone confirm success with the SH61F83 controller chip? I also have this in my PBP and am very much hesitant to update the firmware.
I did update mine with the SH61F83 controller in the end and it worked fine. Turned out I had made a note of the number of reflashes I'd done previously, to document my previous attempts for a potential forum post asking for help - and those notes showed it was no where close to 8 times we have a concern about for this chip. I therefore figured I'd give it one more go as the trackpad was pretty much the only thing preventing me from using the PBP as my main laptop. All went well on the first attempt with this new firmware and using the trackpad is now sweet as a nut.
I could't recommend anyone else with this specific chip in their PBP risking this, as we still don't have confirmation about whether the SH61F83 controller has a limit and whether this is really a risk or not. I wanted to give it one go, as if it worked it would mean I'm unlikely to ever need to re-flash this again for my specific use case.
