It's easy, either lever up the panel above the keyboard or push a screwdriver through the hole in the mobo/chasis by the GPU fan to push the cover off, unscrew the keyboard and lift it up gently and before lifting it out, disconnect the LED and data cables (centre and to the left).

 

when outputting hd video through hdmi i notice screen tearing and occasionally bsod.

i remember seeing topics on this months ago , i searched and can't seem to find those threads.

currently running:

Driver Packaging Version 13.20-130723a-159976E-ATI
Catalyst Version 13.8
AMD Catalyst Control Center Version 2013.0723.1944.33607

 

I'm a noob when it comes to installing hardware

How do I install a mSATA drive onto my NP9150? I know I have an empty slot
How do I open up the NP9150? Where is the mSATA slot located? Is it difficult to do? MANY THANKS in advance!

 

In future check your users manual for basic tasks as it has step by step instructions. You need to remove the bottom cover, put the card in the slot close to the battery bay (the screw should be in the post so take that out first and use it to secure it down) and close the system up.

 

is there any way to stop Windows Photo Viewer from using my dedicated card to view jpgs?

 

You can locate the exe for the program and tell the control panel to prefer the use of the integrated GPU for that specific program.

EDIT: Scratch that. Just did a little further research and it appears that it's run through a system .dll file instead of a standalone exe. I'm going to see what I can figure out.
EDIT EDIT: Doesn't look like there is any easy way to do it. Might be best to set your preview application to be something else that does have an .exe file that you can control which GPU it runs off of.

 

When I put my laptop to sleep, the wifi wont connect or show any signals after I open it up again to use it. Before its asleep the wifi is working perfectly and connections are shown. What do I do?

 

Check this setting Device Manager > Network adapters > right click your wireless card > properties > Power Management > unclick: Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

 

worked perfectly thanks a bunch.

 

Hi guys,

Recently my laptop has been having Blue screens while playing L.O.L. Says something bout a 521fbf80 problem, is there a way I can fix this? Sorry i'm not too techsavy

 

I would call your reseller so they can walk you through some basic trouble shooting.

 

Just a quick question guys, is it normal for the i7-3630QM to hit up to 101 degrees on some cores when all cores are at 99% load? I'm also worried about the GPU hitting 92 degrees with stock clocks and 99% usage. The fans never seem to like to run at full blast unless I force them to using Fn+9. Anyway my room temperature is about 29-30 degrees most of the time, though turning on the air-conditioner doesn't really help to cool the laptop under the same loads.

 

I'd be pretty concerned about those temps. Pretty high. When's the last time you cleaned it out or did a repaste?

 

Yeah both are on the high side, cpu especially.

 

I'm very surprised you didn't reach thermal shutdown.

Are you trying to mine currency with your laptop?

 

He is a few degrees off it, but is close.

 

Hey guys I've been wanting to monitor my power usage recently but I don't have a multimeter, is there any software out there that would allow me to measure system power consumption?

 

The only way to be accurate is to get a meter that plugs into the wall. They are not expensive.

 

Ok cool, I'm guessing any standard multimeter would do?

 

This is a pretty Common one to use. Kill A Watt

 

I'm in the UK and can't seem to find them anywhere, just bought this one on Amazon though, looks like it'll do the job

 

15A Plug In Energy Saving Monitor | Maplin

 

Hopefully you didn't mean the Kill A Watt, the one I linked is a 120v model. I'm looking around for 240v models and they're pricey.

Edit: Or the one that Meaker posted

 

Maplin is good for that slightly more electrical style stuff.

 

Forgot to post the link, fail lol looks the same as the one meaker posted though so I'm guessing it'll be ok

Plug-In Power and Energy Monitor: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools

 

Seems similar, you don't need it to be massively accurate, just give an idea.

 

Cool, I think i remember you mentioning in another thread that you should take about 10% off the figure it gives when monitoring from the wall is this correct?

 

10-20% range roughly. Depends on the brick and loading level.

 

So I've finally got around testing my power brick and it seems by brick has a bit to give even with a moderate overclock on the gpu and cpu so I've decided to flash a modified vbios to get a bit more out of my gpu, I'm going to use ATI winflash, is it simply a case of loading in the vbios and clicking ok? Do I need to make the gpu kick in first to make it recognise it by running a game or benchmark tool? Thank for a help in advance

 

No you should not need to wake the card.

 

Thanks Meaker

 

Anybody know where i can buy a back cover replacement? My cover is broken where the screws are and its kinda annoying. Thanks

 

Ebay or contacting your original reseller, they may be able to order one from Sager for you.

 

What's the strongest GPU I can get for my NP9150 these days?

Also, can I use the following mSATA drive on my NP9150?

Thank you!

 

680M or 7970M.

 

Recently my p150em has developed a vibration/knocking noise in the cpu fan area. Has anyone run into this issue? I imagine the fan bearings are probably getting worn out, but wanted to see if anyone has other ideas.

 

Does anybody know if its possible to change my Advanced-N 6235 to a Intel dual band AC 7260 ?

 

Yes, it's a standard module.

If the fan is making noises it needs oiling or replacing.

 

My xtu is still losing its settings if I resume from hibernate or if the laptop turns off unexpectedly, anyone know how to make sure xtu saves its settings?

 

You can save a profile so they are easy to restore.

 

Thanks but the trouble is sometimes when I leave my laptop it goes into hibernation mode and when I come back it loses its settings and I forget to retore them straight away, it would just be nice not to have to worry about it

 

Will have to man up and flash the prema bios and do it that way then

 

I have the prema bios but I don't see any options to overclock the cpu in the bios, is there something else I'm missing here?

 

P150EM / NP9150 | Prema Mod

If you look at the change log you can see the options offered, have a good look through all the options.

 

I have the latest release and I know it states that you can overclock the cpu the but I think that's just with xtu, before I got version 2 I could only overclock my cpu with a p170em bios, I'll ask prema about it but I think it's impossible to overclock my cpu without xtu even with his bios on the machine

 

Ah in which case you may need to avoid hibernation and just shut the machine down.

 

Hey all, I am wondering where I can get a Blu-ray player that will fit in my NP9150/P150EM/POLLUX 1612? or a certain size/or whatever I should be looking for. I also was wondering about RAM, should any RAM work, and do I just replace the old RAM by just taking it out? or is it more complicated than that.I have contacted Mythlogic a couple times in the past few months and have strangely not received a reply yet. Thank you!

 

Should pretty universal across the board.The LG CT40N seems pretty well liked if you can't get it from Mythlogic directly.

 

PLEASE people upload the Clevo P150EM driver DVD to any website for me!

I have problems with my SAGER and support told me to try install from DVD but I Lost DVD!

Please upload to MEGA or 4SHARED or TORRENT or any web site!

PS: I already try download drivers from intel, sager, and ati but nothing is working here, so support told me to do that last try so please people help me!

Thank you people!

 

Which driver do you need as the people on here probably know what you need better.
