problems installing smc firmware update 1.1 - Version: 1.1, 12/23/2006 12:57PM PST

I am running OS X 10.4.8 on a new macbook, but when i try to restart my computer during the update process the start up screen that should show the installation status bar is visible for a brief second, the computer reboots normally and the update window informs me that the installation was unsuccessful. no mater how many times i try to restart and complete the installation - the same thing happens. now my fan is stuck on high gear. Any thoughts on trouble shooting the installation/update process?

Thanks in advance

Can not instal up-date Firmware - Version: 1.1, 10/28/2006 10:19PM PST

When I try to install this Firmware (I've also tried the other MacBook Pro - early 2006 - version) I get the message "This computer doesn't need this up-date"

Any one have an idea why this is happening to me?

PS: might be the fact I've deleted the older update file from Application / Utilities folder after installing?

In this case, should I go for the reestoring factory Firmware process, envolving the disk image CD burn?

Thanks a lot!

Since, mysteriously, nobody has commented on this, I will - and say that it didn't cause any problems at all. I'm not sure it really did much of anything, but certainly no problems.
