BIOS and Firmware Update for Sager NP5793

OK So I just emailed Sager and got this.... apparently it's just for the Sager NP5793....

System BIOS 1.00. 12 (Sager's version with the logo) and 1.00. 11S KBC/EC Firmware from Sager for NP5793 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IF2SSXCZ

Also, it's in .iso format, so easier installation unlike Clevo's version....

 

I downloaded and burned the ISO to a CD but my 5793 doesn't want to boot from it. I repeated this with the same result. I prefer burning the files to my USB-key and boot from that but have not succeeded in unpacking the iso. Is somethingwrong with it?

 

No, it should be very straight forward. Make sure your DVD drive has first boot priority in the CMOS setup.

 

Nice to see this update, thx.

 

You were right, after setting the boot order properly evrything went fine!

 

Out of curiosity, what improvements would I find in my system if I was to install this?

 

I dunno much about the KBC/EC firmware... AFAIK it solves the key skipping problem on the keyboard, and improves fan performance..
As far as the system BIOS updates are concerned, the details are here - http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/e-services/esupport/MarketDLOut.asp?model=M57xRU&go=GO&type=BIOS

 

Ah. Any way to check what your current BIOS version is?

Thanks.

 

Just hit F2 when your laptop restarts and have a look in the setup. It will say what version your current BIOS and KBC/EC is.

 

^^ What he said.

You can also run "dxdiag" in Windows. Your BIOS version will be listed there.

 

Good for 5790/1/2 as well right?

Yep, any M570RU variant

 

Then again, my system works perfect (at the bios level anyway) so .. maybe I'll leave this for a rainy day

Thanks for the update my friend, specially the KB/EC Firmware .11 wich is not listed in Clevo's support BIOS page...

Flashed on my M571RU, all ok...

+1 rep

 

Here's a link to the actual files, so you can use them to flash with whatever method you prefer.

Is that the Clevo or Sager version ?

Anytime!

 

This is the BIOS that you requested from Sager. The non-branded one works on my laptop as well. I have a Sager NP5791. In fact, I've tested every BIOS version from Clevo, 02 to 12, and they all flash to my laptop just fine.

All I did was rip them out of the .ISO image. The Clevo is version 1.00.12 and this one is 1.00.12SL. I don't have a clue if there are any other differences other than the Sager branding on bootup.

I also have the same BIOS with SLIC 2.1 embedded in it that works on my laptop.

 

well, i'm back... which is a sign that either i've broken something or I want to do something that will probably break something.
Actually what I'm really here for is some help with this Bios update. I tried using charincol's files to update my bios with a usb stick. I followed all the steps to boot from it and that is all fine and I can even start the update but once it starts it tells me "the BIOS does not suppor this machine!"
I have the m570TU as some might know and the bios version is 1.00.025.LS2. This seems to be an ancient bios so do I have to upgrade incrementally or is it possible that charincols files are just corrupted? I haven't tried the iso cause I don't have any spare cd's. it should be noted that I haven't found the 3 boot files on my usb drive but it hasn't stopped me from booting to it.
Thanks for your help.

 

Is that a newer BIOS ? Will that work for the 5793 ?

 

No, that bios will not work for the 5793.

The latest bios for the 5793 is 1.00.12 and KBC 1.00.10 (or .11S from sager)

 

Any difference from 1.00.08 to 1.00.12??

Thanks.

 

Nice - no value to me then. Thanks dude.

 

Thanks for the info

 

Could you please post the one with SLIC 2.1 embedded? Thanks alot

 

Sweet find Prasad, I was still using old .07 KBC, now my fans ramp much smoother and don't full blast when the CPU is only 40c.
