why don't they just say which model number the update is for .....not everyone can remember when their laptop was produced
i'm guessing this is for model 5,1
Brilliant! Fixed the incessant flickering on MBP that's been going on for months now (was getting ready to bring it in since it's still under warranty...but kinda sucks living without a computer for a few days, as sad as that may be). In any case, install without a hitch and there has been no flickering of the display since - it's like having a new computer!
Would install into Core Service Folder on my Early 2011 MPB 13", but the firmware update process after reboot would never initiate. Worked fine on an Early 2011 MBP 15", however.
Early 2010 MBPs? Maybe I missed something, but afaik there are only mid-2010 MBPs. As firmware updates are no joke, why not clearly state, say, MBP5,3 or MBP6,2? One can easily check in System Profiler/System Information.

Sigh... WHICH issues specifically? Would it kill Apple to share this little secret with us customers?
As always, rely on Software Update to determine your machine's eligibility for this, or any, update. SU installed the MBP Software Update before it would even show this firmware update. Installation went without a hitch. Boot ROM on my 17" went from MBP81.0047.B04 to ...B0E. The AMD EFI driver was updated from 01.00.504 to ...521.
Then why does the requirements say:
•15-inch or 17-inch MacBook Pro mid 2010 model.
I have a 17-inch MacBook Pro mid 2010 model, so I would expect the update to appear in Software-update...
I have a MacBook Pro 17" Core i7, but this firmware update does not appear in Software-update. If I manually download the .dmg file, the installer tells me that my system is not supported...
Why?!
