    Hi does anyone know if the LVDS cable that comes with the Clevo W540SU is a single or Dual channel cable?

    Very likely single channel if you have the 768 panel.

    According to my Motherboard schematic my board supports LVDS and EDP, could I buy a EDP cable from another clevo laptop?

    Try to find the W740SU schematic and compare, the 740 is also a 14 inch chassis but uses eDP FHD display, might be able to cross parts, if both connectors on the mobo side are equal..

    It just got delivered and its the EDP model :).
    Can I update the bios with the stock version or do you need a different bios for the TPM/TCM motherboards?
