[RESPONDED] FW 13 7840U ACPI thermal readout problem

A new BIOS/EC beta was released today:

One of the fixes mentioned may be related:

  • Fix ACPI thermal_zone3 reporting incorrect values occasionally.

On my laptop, the update (going from the previous 3.06 beta) means:

       EC     BIOS
From   f666c  JFP30.03.06
To     55046  JFP30.03.07

Indeed, EC f666c has been followed by 55046.
Let’s see how it fares.
