    Where do I get the latest fan firmware from?

    The fn+1 fan control thing doesn't seem to work on mine, I guess I need the latest firmware.

    My notebook sounds like a hovercraft even when doing basic stuff like light web-browsing.

    Where can I get it?

    hmm, what do you mean by 'vibration problem'? there seems to be a bit of vibration when they're running at full speed anyway.

    I dont get that either. Maybe your keyboard is a bit loose? Mine is kinda hehe. Sometimes it does start to vibrate and resonate with the fans, but then I just touch it and it stops. Wouldnt happen at all if I wasnt using an external keyboard.

    I`m sorry to say it, but you`re among the very few that have that issue.
    Fn+3 in the .h version is perfect.

    He`s the first one that had vibration with the .h version.
    I had it with the .f version .
    Is it possible you`re mixing them up somehow , Nirvana ? :D

    Well, no offence, but your system is backwards then lol.
    You`re the first to say .f DOES NOT VIBRATE and .h does,when for all the rest of us,it`s the other way around ...

    If I remember correctly, .f doesn't have the vibration issue, but .g does for most, and .h does for some.

    I posted on another topic but the link zfactor provided is h version.
    One of you guys if you have f version would you kindly upload to rapidshare or another server (i'm not a fan of rapid) that we could access ?

    Here the 07B,D,F,G,H FW from Sager and original 07 from Clevo. Edit the UpdateEC.bat yourself before flash.

    PS: Anyone has Eurocom account? EC08 is listed already for a long time, but not downloadable.....
