    M570 RU newest bios is 1.00.11
    newest kbc/ec firmware is 1.00.09
    M570U newest bios is 1.00.06. If you meant m570U I need to know if you have a synaptics touchpad or an elantech one to get you the correct bios

    Theriko - You seem to be the guy who knows.

    I have two Rock Clevo based machine, XCTX and XCTX Pro - which are respectively M570U and M57U clevo's.

    I want to upgrade them, but Rock are less than helpfull and have not even even updated any drivers for the machines in over two years, let alone updated the BIOS.

    I'd like to get the latest BIOS for the machines and was also wondering if you happen to know what processors / graphics cards the machines will go upto ?

    I know these are neeb questions but it's my wife's birthday Sunday and I want to try and get the bits to upgrade her machine before then ... ANy help apreciated ....

    Both of those units are the same clevo model, possibly different mobo revisions, but should still support the same hardware/bios

    The latest BIOS version is 1.00.06 (or 1.01.06) I need to know what make of touchpad you have to get you the right bios (synaptics or elantech)

    The latest KBC/EC firmware is also 1.00.06.

    The latest video cards that will fit in those units are the 7950GTX's. This was the last model to have the clevo specific slot, so ensure you get a clevo model if you upgrade

    OK Thanks for that ..

    According to the rock specs they both have elantech (is there any obvious way to tell ?). Is it the same BIOS for both the M57U and the M570U ? Do you know the dates on the Bios.

    Hi guys, would someone be kind enough to provide a download link to the newest bios for the m570u as the clevo site now requires a login.

    cheers

    Ask your vendor for the latest BIOS.

    hi all

    I have two little problems,

    1. nb in sleepmodus, the will not come back, only the harddisk works, the lcd is black
    2. in normal windows xp modus (surfing, word f.e. ) the fan is very loud, if i hit fn+2 it goes to max the fan... ^^ (my problem ist the small one of the fans...)

    my question, is there a actually bios for this notebook? (can i use the link from kaltmond?)

    No, xeroo has a M570RU = Nexoc E705, yours is E703 = M57U, not the same NB.
