  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />The updater runs and shuts down my MacBook Pro. After restarting by holding down the power button, the light flashes but then it just restarts as normal. Have now tried several times with no luck.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I used Software Update to run the firmware update...that has always worked for me.<br> <br> There's only one anomaly to report. The instructions say that you should hold the power button until the power indicator light flashes. The only power indicator light I know of is the one on the magnetic power connector (the one that's green when the battery is fully charged, and orange when it's charging). I didn't see it flash at all. As I held the power button, the computer made an audible tone (approximatey 512Hz...I found it on the guitar as C above middle C), after which the startup chord chimed, and the screen immediately went to the progress indicator showing the progress of the update.<br> <br> At that point it seemed pretty clear that the update was in progress, so I released the power button. Everything proceeded normally from there. After the update was done the computer automatically restarted itself, and it displayed a prompt stating that the fimware update was successful.
