    To make a long story short: I sold my 5720 to a guy and stated it had 6 months left on the warranty. Turns out it didn't. A couple months after buying it the guy said it shut off and wouldn't turn back on. I refunded him. I received the notebook back today. I removed the keyboard and keyboard plate and saw this black wire stretching from R609 to PR55. Is this factory-installed? It seems like a decent job and all but it's kind of strange that there would be a wire soldered from one resistor (?) to another, from the factory. Anybody know for sure? I have a pic attached.

    It would be awesome if one of you could remove your keyboard/plate to check for sure. It would help me greatly. There are 4 clips right above the keyboard. Push in one clip at a time and the keyboard will pop out. The plate is held on by 7 screws. Underneath that is where you'd find this supposed wire. Thanks.

    Anybody know? This won't void your warranty and only takes a minute to accomplish. It would be a huge help.

    Call your Sager dealer or Sager directly. Even if your warranty has expired you do have Lifetime Toll Free Technical Support between 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM Pacific Time Monday through Friday. Sager's number is 1-800-741-2219.

    You could also go to the Support page on Sager's website and ask your question there.

    The wire is on my MB as you described. My Clevo M570A has never been repaired and I bought it new.

    This may be too late for you to find useful, but maybe not for someone else.
