Some Clevos have the touchpad static sensor pad actually as part of the full palmrest, my current M571TU does, and my old M670SU did. If it is the touchpad sensor itself you'll need to replace the full palmrest, which will also mean removal of the screen assembly and the base section. The touchpad board and sensor pad are not sold as a separate part, but the buttons and button board are.

Manufacturers or builders generally won't allow end users (customers) change major parts like screens themselves. RAM, HDD and optical, etc are user upgradeable, but if anything else is taken to bits, your warranty is often voided, especially if as D2 Ultima said, you accidentally damage something as you do it. I custom build Clevo chassis, we have the same sort of policy, we ask customers to return the machine during the warranty for major faults including transit damage.

Seeing as you're a BIOS modder, would you like me to dump my BIOS for you to take a look at? Which tool do you recommend?

That's interesting, Prema. I don't know how techie the guy who owned this laptop before me was, whether he's modified the BIOS, I Googled but couldn't find any newer ones. What were the official changes in v18? Was there a changelog?

Does anyone know where I can download the latest BIOS for an M571TU laptop? My laptop was bought from eBay, and was originally built by Kobalt, who had a bad reputation, before going bust. Clevo won't supply it, they tell me to go to Kobalt, which I can't. Mine is running BIOS v1.00.19 at the moment, and my wireless light keeps going out at POST intermittently. It is orange on power up, and should go green as the drive detection runs, bt sometimes it goes out and I have to use FN & F11 to turn it back on, after this it stays on as long as the machine is running. A known thermal cycling solder fault with some nVidia cards (mine's a GTX 280M PCI-E MXM II) can cause the wireless to act weird, but I've tried a brand new unused graphics card and wireless card in it, the issue still occurs. Even clearing CMOS by taking the RTC battery, and all power off, including main battery, sometimes fixes it for a while, then it starts again. Other than that the computer is awesome, and has never hiccuped apart from being noisy when gaming! I tried using search but it didn't seem to work, apologies if someone has already posted.

Thankyou for these! I repair a lot of Clevo laptops, as well as having an M571RU myself, so they'l come in useful, once I have enough posts to download them!
