The updater runs and shuts down my MacBook Pro. After restarting by holding down the power button, the light flashes but then it just restarts as normal. Have now tried several times with no luck.

Read his comment first, before you decide to be smart. He said he had a MacBook Pro.

Simply won't update my MacBook - tomm3

I had the same experience, my MBP (running 10.4.10) restarts normally, the firmware progress bar never starts. However, on brand new MBP out of the box running the original 10.4.9 updated fine. So right now I don't know why my machine won't and another one will update, it could be the OS.

I have sent in a comment earlier today and I could not update my MB to the new firmware 1.3.
The reason is that I was running OS 10.4.10. When I installed 10.4.9 on an external FW drive and ran the updater from it, it updated fine. I got the idea when I tried to do the update on another brand new MBP that was running 10.4.9 right out of the box.
