    I am looking for the service manual for the Clevo P750DM2 but I have been unable to find it. The closest match I have found is the service manual for the Clevo P750DM which can be obtained from this link but I can't find the service manual for the P750DM2. I already looked at the P750DM manual and it looks quite different compared to my P750DM2.

    I need to know where the CMOS battery is (because I looked and I certainly can't see it), where the video connector for the screen is, replace the GPU, find out what each connector / clip on the motherboard is for etc.

    I have been able to identify the GPU, CPU, M.2 slots, RAM slots but that's about it.

    If someone has a copy that can make available that would be much appreciated.

    Thanks jaybee83, much appreciated, while not exactly the same, when combined with the P750DM, I come very close to how mine looks. Some parts are nearly identical to the P775DM2 but some are different but the ones that are different appear to be the same when compared to the P750DM one.

    Yep, yep, I agree! :) I opened up the back cover of my laptop and I took photos. Thanks to the manual you linked, I found where the CMOS battery connector is + the video cable connecting the panel + two other RAM chips which I could not find! The video connector for the panel is at the top part so I have to take the keyboard out (unfortunately).

    This is the first time I am trying to mod a laptop so it's a bit awkward for me + I am a software person. I have bought the liquid metal thermal paste too,
    I just need to find that courage to do the operation.

    I want to disconnect the video cable connecting the built-in screen from the motherboard hoping it would force the primary output via the HDMI port rather than the built-in screen.

    My old laptop has a VGA port which mirrors the built-in display with the VGA port but this laptop doesn't have this and this is very important to me and I need it.
