Firmware Restoration CD 1.5
Yesterday, Apple released an updated Firmware Restoration CD (version 1.5) for all Intel Mac models. The Firmware Restoration CD is used to restore the firmware on an Intel-based Macintosh in case of an emergency (such as an interrupted firmware install). You can download the Firmware Restoration CD from the Apple Support downloads website for your specific Mac. These CDs are great to keep around in case of firmware install issues (especially if you only have one Mac).
Apple makes a note that you cannot use this CD to restore the firmware that has already been successfully applied to your system; this is used only for systems that did not successfully get a firmware update applied.

Hi I have a 2.33 core 2 duo 17' MBP and I use windows on it. Ever since upgrading the firmware in the past I get this blue discoloration while booted into windows. I was wondering if this firmware restore will solve the problem?
thank you
how do you know when your mac has corrupted firmware? it just doesn't turn on or it gives you some details, or what??
