    I want ot flash my notebook's bios, but I can't find any for Sager 3880 = Clevo M38W . Does someone know where to look at?

    I also wonder how to open this thing's case :( ?? My video card is heating up to 110C and I thing that something's wrong. So I tried to open the notebook, but the case refused to open, no matter how many screws I unscrewed :D . After 1 hour looking and turning in all directions, I gave up. :( . Someone have an idea about this? Maybe I should take off the keyboard at one time ? I couldn't do it neither.

    Well, flashing your BIOS wouldn't necessairly help your overheating situation unless it included improvements in power management and/or fan control.

    I believe you have to email Sager to get the updates for the BIOS.

    You might think about investing in a cooling pad for your notebook; I have one for my Sager 5320, keeps things noticably cooler. Definitely worth it if you are gaming.

    EDIT: I'm going to port this over to the Sager section, since it mainly deals with Sager. ;)
