    Was updating EC off a flash drive with my sager np5797 and my update appears to be stuck in a loop. It verifies and then installs program data (61440 flash bytes). Then it verifies again and continues to install. It has done it about 7 times already over the course of the last 1-2 hours and it appears to be repeating itself.

    Any suggestions? :( Thanks

    Nasty. My only idea would be to remove the flash drive during the verification process. Normally the flash drive should no longer be in use now, all that is needed is loaded in the laptop's memory.

    That's normal what you see as happening, just that it should take 1-2 minutes at most, not hours. It would be very bad if your flashing has gone wrong, although it looks that way. Most likely one or more of the sectors it's trying to write are defective and it keeps retrying.

    Hello Blacky.

    my laptop is working again with the bios chip rewritten.
    I did the update as described in the EC forum, it still has a key (/?) that does not work.
    this is near the key (alt gr).
    the file of EC to run the key is this (M5xSE_H805.zip).
    you have a previous version of this file? eg m5xse_h804

    can you help me?

    I searched the entire forum and failed to find any references to my computer, Clevo M767TU. Does anyone have access to the latest bios files, EC and nvidia Vbios?

    Best regards

    hello friends, my notebook is v52 and is with the bios updated.
    I need (EC) for Keyboard Portuguese Brazil?
    I already have a (EC) but it is for the English keyboard.

    this picture shows that the key does not work with (EC) English.
    ( ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting)

    do three weeks I sent a message to pvt (pkhetan), but he did not reply until now.

    thanks for any help

    Hi Folks,

    I have 3 M760T's. Intel VT is not enabled in the installed BIOS (1.02.30).
    EC rev is 1.00.15.

    I want to use these either for XenClient or WinSvr2008-R2 with Hyper-V or VMWare Player on top of Win7. All of these REQUIRE VT. The hardware is definitely capable but the BIOS is not.

    From a previous post on this thread I downloaded the 1.02.34 BIOS but it has no readme.txt so I dont know if VT support has been added.

    Does anyone know ?

    Without pkhetan there really isn't much that I can do for such models and I doubt anyone else will be able to help you.

    I'm sorry. Try contacting a Clevo service center and ask them for a proper BIOS version.

    Yes, take only the EC from the 1st link, then update BIOS from the 3rd link.
    And if you have the 6970 GPU then youcan update the VBIOS from 2nd link

    Are you sure newest BIOS for CLEVO P170HM it's 1.01.02 -> ftp://cftp.clevo.com.tw/ALLBIOS/P170HM/BIOS_102.zip??
    Because I tried to experiment and I typed this link: ftp://cftp.clevo.com.tw/ALLBIOS/P170HM/BIOS_103.zip

    And it works and I downloaded new version inside there is P170HM.103 dated 7/03/2011 but I don't know what it change. And I don't want to risk and brick my Clevo.

    Sometimes Clevo put updates in their FTP and forget to put them in the partners' e-channel immediatly. So, it may appear in the e-channel soon with all the releasing notes.

    My P150HM went into Stage 2 production on 3/25. Since the new BIOS was released on the same day, does that mean it will be on the laptop when it ships?

    w8 just click step1.bat and after it's done click step2.bat? Within Windows? That seems too easy to be true.
    *Edit: also what's the .exe file for? Sorry but I'm paranoid about bios updates

    Just as a general rule of thumb Clevo never reply to the public, you need to go through your manufacturer
