The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
This is a subject of debate. I believe the FX chip is on the motherboard. Some believe its part of the keyboard. There is no information on the net confirming this either way which I have been able to locate. Gabe checked over his DCSE docs on the M17x and was not able to confirm either.
ok well i have two systems one the fx board i thinkis shot tech support said send it back...lol...i dont care eitherway...but my other system is working totally fine...i think the motherboard in the system that has the fx not working is a better board less issues...better clock speeds...performance...but the fx is messed up bad
so i guess i could swap the keyboard and touch pannel at the top and find out
ok i can 100 percent confirm....that the fx board is located on the motherboard...period...i swapped everything and still same issue on the system that i am sending back,,,,is in indeed on the motherboard....not the keyboard or touchpad ....
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
