No microphone on Toshiba Satellite - Solution

Some time last year I bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop for my parents. Unfortunately, a change in the software or hardware prevented the internal micrpphone from working.
A headset or external mic plugged in would work, but no dice when going to the Control Panel (in Windows 7) to change the settings of the microphone/recording devices.

SOLUTION : Update the BIOS

Go to the Toshiba Support Centre, choose your model ( you may have to look under the computer, or use the Windows Key + Break), choose the Drivers tab search for BIOS and download the update.

I am not sure if it is a good thing to have the mic re-enabled. I may now have to speak with them over Skype.
