I second that motion!!

Bricking this thing scares the hell outta me, although I reflash my nook color all the time ...

I hope my machine comes with the most stable/recent bios tho ^^ -
Mine has Bios: 1.01.03 ,EC: 1.00.05 and Vbios:70.24.26.00.01.
I got it just 2 weeks ago from Malibal. so I guess the above may be considered the current "tried and tested" bios versions.
I also have the fn+1 interval hickups as some folks here do. however I don't find this an issue at all. In fact the fn+1 max speed is doing very good job at keeping the GPU temps well below 80c during gaming and even intensive Cuda rendering.
In normal mode - when turning off the fn+1 speed,- the fan runs smooth and kicks at highest speed when temp is around 80-85c.
The fn+5 for sound boost is noticeable and working well.
The 9-in-1 card reader is working well.
I didn't check the Wake-up after suspend and USB power things because i really don't use them. -
A query I pose in sheepish prose:
When I run msinfo.exe, my BIOS version states
BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc 4.6.4 13/05/2011
This in no way looks like the BIOS versions I'm seeing on the clevo bios thread - is there another way to find my version to see if it needs updates? -
BTW Animatrix, love the poetics !! -
BIOS 1.01.07 aNS1
KBC/EC 1.00.05 SA1
This is indeed interesting as it would appear that my BIOS has a higher number, yet was delivered earlier.
One of my favorite movie quotes, from Aliens: "Don't nobody touch nuthin".
I await "official" guidance before I do anything, er, touch nuthin..... -
Does anybody know if our laptops support Dolby Digital Live out the optical toslink port? I want to buy an Astro Mixamp but I don't know it it will work

Dude FN + 5 key makes a world of difference in sound quality. Any other FN keys I don't know about
-
-
Anthony@MALIBAL Company Representative
FN + 1 = max fans
FN + 5 = speakers/sub
The rest are pretty standard -

FN + Power >>> USB Charge Function (from EC 06 onwards)
FN + B pressed then startup...do we smell a bios recovery...(come on Resellers how does it work?)
-
Yeah!
We want a bios recovery! -
Now, will there be a BIOS recovery mode coming soon? -
Larry@LPC-Digital Company Representative
I do not think a BIOS recovery is in the works at this time. Sorry.

I've never updated from the 03, but this might get me to flash it. -
Someone kindly enlighten me as to what a 'usb charge' is? (I have one port on this for sure that I get power to when the beastie is off, as my coloured mouse kaleidescopes all night long. -
Anthony@MALIBAL Company Representative
-
OMG *-* I'm looking forward to this, YAY~ -
-
Here is my bios
Do I have the latest version?
-
-
Larry@LPC-Digital Company Representative
Yes this is the latest SAGER bios and EC for the NP8170.

I am not even going to worry about it. My laptop idles around 100F and the fan barely comes on now and then. It is so quiet. The newest driver for the sound did amazing things for me. It is much louder now. I had it in the garage watching a movie while cleaning and this beast is amazing. I don't want ANYTHING to change for now. It does everything for me that I want and could not imagine changing anything for now.

You mean the latest on Sagers website? -

6.0.1.6307
I believe it made the laptop much louder. I had to change my settings to make the new driver work.

Hey RS,
So just to be clear you are a Sager, not a Clevo for revisions? Or does it matter when it not the BIOS? -
I got the sound driver for the realtek sound system from SAGER. I will NOT reflash the BIOS at anytime in the future unless it was a. From sager and b. It was as safe as rooting a nook color to honeycomb...
-
and sure you will love this machine,
Could you please post your bios and ec versions once you get hold of your system? I just want to know since our systems are similar. -
Guess I will remain in the : " Don't nobody touch nuthin"-mode for awhile longer then.....
Hmm, up late once again. Where's my grindage Pauli? Wrote an offer to buy a house today! Nibiru missed us, whew.
Now back to the topic..... -
I keep the system plugged in all the time and I wonder whether I should remove or keep the battery in my laptop.
In the manual they recommend keeping it in. however, I have read few articles stating otherwise.
Any advise? I just want to keep a healthy battery for those days I need it most. -
A Sony laptop I had (& returned for credit, but that is another story) had a neat battery app that allowed one to set the maximum level of charge that would be delivered. IMS, they recommended an 80% charge for times when the lifetime that yielded, would suit your needs. Occasionally a 100% charge and maximum discharge was to be done. They had graphs that showed a longer and more stable lifetime. I'm just saying.
Love to have an app like that for my Satori !!
In the meantime, I take the Clevo battery to 8% from time to time and keep it charging most of the time. -
Yea, the app you mentioned is quite interesting for sure. I really wanna know if keeping a battery at 70-75% charge in a cold place is better than leaving it continuously charging in a plugged in laptop. -
to fix that issue, i just use external keyboard. -
So what do I have to do (besides give you $13K) to get you into this laptop today? :laugh:

These are my current BIOs settings. I presume these are out-dated? -
Does anyone know if there is a way to make Fn+5 "stick" on permanently? I sometimes forget to press it right away, and wish that it would automatically be enabled on logon. What about a scripted solution added to the logon script, run from the Startup folder as a batch file or run as a Scheduled Task? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is anybody using the built-in "Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver" with Windows Media Center in Windows 7 64-bit? Will any Windows 7 compatible MCE IR remote work, or do I need to look for something specific? What brand/model of remote are you using that is fully functional? Thanks!
-
J.P.@XoticPC Company Representative
However, if you have a type of USB stick with IR functionality you should be able to do it
-
. ITECIR Infrared Receiver (EC)
. Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver
And this device driver is installed and enabled under Keyboards:
. Microsoft eHome Remote Control Keyboard keys
Or did you mean that there's no physical internal connector from the motherboard to the IR port on the front of the case? If that is what you meant, can a connector be installed?
Thanks! -
I can clock down the CPU, any way to clock down the GPU?
