    KBC/EC 1.00.09 or here
    BIOS 1.00.11 or here
    8800M GTX BIOS 62.92.23.00.14 or here

    To flash these files, create a bootable usb stick (as per guide in my sig), copy the extracted files to it, then run (in dos) updateec.bat, then refresh.bat, then update.bat IN THAT ORDER

    There is a copy of phlash16 in both the ec and bios zip files, they are the same, so you only need one of them if all files are put in the same folder.

    Which version of the KBC/EC were you running before the flash?

    My fn+1/3 both still work on 1.00.09/1.00.11

    I was using 1.00.07SH (or something similar to that, whichever version was released before 1.00.09) and 1.00.08 bios.

    Could anyone link me to the old bios downloads?

    Hence me not recommending older ones ;)

    In general I can see no reason not to use the newest ones, but some people seem to be losing the fan control hotkeys (though they still work for me :confused: )

    I did all updates again --> no luck :-(
    1) KB .09 + restart (Off/On)
    2) BIOS .11 + restart (Off/On)
    3) GPU .14 + restart (Off/On)
    Fn+1;Fn+3 gone

    (before tried go back with kb .08 and bios .08 -> the same result)

    Cheers for the old bios :) Now is there anywhere i can see the change list for both the fan bios and system bios?

    EDIT: I also went back to old bios, with same result. jromph: what spec is your laptop?
    Also is there a link for the .07sh bios? The one you have is only for 07 and I remember it showing .07sh in the bootup screen.

    Tried to flash the EC firmware with phlash16 and got an error message :" cannot flash if memory managers (eg. HIMEM) present. " Googled it still no luck with figuring out how to fix this, any ideas?

    BTW, i have flashed many bios without this error message.

    there is a switch to ignore that, did the firmware not come with a .bat file to run it?

    Here is the command to flash the original clevo 1.00.09 KBC/EC. I would assume the sager version is the same command, just change the filename to whatever the sager version is called:

    Phlash16 /x /mode=3 /s ECM57RU.09

    The firmware is in .iso formart, maybe this is why, I wish it was not, but in seperate files instead. Anyone have the files NOT in .iso format? i really don't want to make a bootable cd just for this.

    1) use isobuster to extract .ima file from iso and then u can use ultraiso to extract files from ima ;)
    2) copy kbc09s.bat, PHLASH16.exe, ecm57ru.09s to bootable USB or diskette
    3) use kbc09s.bat from booted media

    Hello again! Checking the Clevo Bios website, I noticed a new KBC/EC firmware :

    EC firmware 1.00.10.

    fix:

    When system working temperature reaches fan on point but the system cant receive normal fan speed information, it will alarm for one minute then shut down.

    Has anyone installed thisone ? Do you know if the fans still can be controlled manualy ?

    Thanks Alot for answering.

    This has been out for quite a while now (well, 2 weeks anyway).

    It does not have the fn+1/3 fan controls.

    ^^ What he said.

    But if you want fan control (Fn+1 & Fn+3), the latest would be 1.00.09 S from Sager. :)

    When would you expect these newer firmwares to be released by Sager with the fan controls ? And the 1.00.11 just like the 1.00.10 from Clevo doesn't have fan controls, right ?

    I wouldn't expect sager to release any newer KBC's for an obsolete model.

    I have a question about these bios updates, I've had a look at the bios versions on my new laptop;

    In the bios screen it says 1.00.12SL
    in everest I found this M570RU-1.00.07 (is this the EC bios version?)
    vga bios 62.92.19.00.A3

    Do I have the latest system bios? and is the 8800m gtx bios mentioned a few pages back newer than what I have?

    I think your bios is the last one!? I have the same bios :) . My firmware nr is 1.00.11sa and fancontrol works good.

    Your vga bios is a old one.

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=261664

    Download en flash the bios you like: http://go.notebookreview.com/?id=52...3389206/Clevo_8800M_GTX_BIOS_Archive.exe.html

    Id still like to know how to identify the correct bios versions in my system, other than looking in the bios how do you find out what the system & ec bios versions are and how do you know which is which?

    Cheers for the GTX bios collection link though :)

    edit, pressed ESC on bootup and found the bios versions.

    1.00.12SL System
    1.00.11Sa EC

    Hi everyone!

    I'm new here and I have a clevo m570ru for about a year and half but it never had fan control :(

    My bios revision is 1.00.12 and my KBC/EC Firmware Revision is 1.00.10.

    Could anyone give me hints of the best KBC or bios version with fan controls and where i can get them (i'm from Portugal and the reseller of clevo here , called Insys, was the one to update my bios and KBC so i guess they don't have bios with fan control)?

    Thanks for all and great forum :)

    When I returned my Sager 5793 for repairs to Sager because I had a blank video screen, they fixed the problem and returned it with a bios updated to .13.

    What the .13 bios changes, I have no idea as their was no change information listed on the service sheet just the work performed. Perhaps, you can get the .13 bios from Sager if you want to get the latest version for the NP5793.
