I've been tinkering a lot with the Clevo Control Center (aka. Hotkeys) to implement my own control apps (For Keyboard Color control and Fan control). It is possible to have the system running without the main Control Center app, but it comes with a lot of small applications being one of them the driver that talks to the EC and exposes a WMI interface (If I'm not wrong it's called PowerBiosServer). It should be possible to extract the PowerBiosServer and install it manually. In my case my SSD got corrupted, and it affected the Clevo Hotkey Control Center app, rendering it unable to start. But the PowerBiosServer service was still working and my apps which were using the WMI interface were still able to change the Keyboard Colors. BTW: If you would manage to install the PowerBiosServer without Clevo Control Center. You can turn the Keyboard colors off by using PoswerShell (With Admin privileges) and execute this code: $clevo = get-wmiobject -query "select * from CLEVO_GET" -namespace "root\WMI" $clevo.SetKBLED( [Convert]::ToUInt32("0000a000", 16) ) Greetings.

Hi, Is Prema still modding BIOSes for Clevo devices? There is an updated BIOS for the Clevo P157SM-A. The complete EC is different and is not compatible with the old Prema Mod BIOS. Without the latest BIOS Windows 8/10 will probably have some kind of compatibility issues and the latest Hotkey software won't work (So it's a kind of important update). I'm trying to contact Prema since April to get information if any update is planned or not, but never got any response. (https://biosmods.wordpress.com/p157sm-a/) Is anybody still active modding the BIOS for the P157SM-A? Any hope for an update or at least some comment on this from Prema?

Hey @savvas, Just found this: https://baggett-scripts.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/set-kbled.ps1 It's a very simple Powershell script which allows to use WMI to set HTML colors for the keyboard. Seems that Clevo Hotkey exposes a WMI interface which is rather easy to access. Just have to querry the WMI device for "select * from CLEVO_GET" -namespace "root\WMI" And set the value using SetKBLED As it uses HTML codes to set the color you can use now more than 8 colors.. which is just awesome. The PS script works nicely on my Clevo P157SM-A, and as it uses the exposed standard WMI I guess it will work on many more clevo devices. Any chance you could have a look at your code and get Light FX Mod working again? Nobody knows your code better than you do. Hope there is a posibility to have this up and working again. Greetings.

Hi, @savvas. As you told that you won't work on this anymore because of lack of time, would it be possible to release the source code of what you have done till now? Maybe somebody else could have a look at it and make it work with the new Hotkey software. Greetings.
