Guest Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 You bricked the ME and are actually lucky, a newer system would no longer boot. The old ones still boot without ME but don't work properly as you can see. Don't use dumps to update the ME they are not clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plutomaniac Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yes, I am aware that 6-series can survive with a "broken/bricked" ME so I was not worried too much while testing this. That's not the case with 7-series and up though. Unfortunately the only 6 series FITC is buggy so on such systems embedding the ME inside the bios will never be doable. It's ok though, the DOS version of FWUpdLcl + ME update 1.3MB file is a lot safer + keeps settings + does not require MESET nor the dangerous & scary () FPT flasher. I'll stick to that. For more ME experiments I can go to my Z77 Dual Bios desktop which should be ok no matter what I do while learning. Thanks for the reply Prema, my mod is pretty much ready now. I suppose you don't happen to have a v7 DOS FWUpdLcl tool after 7.1.20, do you? EDIT: Oh, can you please also fix the title from Wndows to Windows? Apparently only a mod can do that.

Lokdal Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hey Prema! Been running your BIOS on W650SJ since this morning and it's been awesome so far! I've searched the thread and saw you mentioning that "Charging is controlled by the EC, which I will no longer touch as the last one bricked my board". However, seeing it's been almost one year since that, I'll dare ask again I'd really love something like what Samsung did : a BIOS setting to limit the charge of the battery to X% (in their case, 80%). Another setting like "Start charging at X%" would be cool too. If you're not comfortable adding this to your BIOS, do you know where I should look or who could help me out? Thanks =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freefire Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hi Prema,i've tested the new bios mod for W370SS. Everything works fine but is it possible that two settings were interchanged: "Turbo Boost Power Max" is "Turbo Boost Short Power Max" and vice versa?Is it possible to protect the bios with a password? Only a startup/boot password works but not a bios password?thxfreefire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lokdal Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Then you do not seem to have any problem. Any options that need to be disabled apparently are. Just go ahead and create the MS-DOS bootable USB disk (lookup the readme file), then reboot and flash away!Just make sure to follow every step carefully in the readme and on the first page, and you'll be fine.EDIT : Maybe enable Legacy USB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better adjust TDP and Turbo time according to your needs. @PremaSorry for a ulrelated question. Do you know what options like TC1, TC2 and TSP in "the platform thermal configuration" BIOS menu? That's the interval time in which the temperature sensor is read. This is controlled by the EC in Clevos and not a good idea to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extreme Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hey Prema I just whacked you with some beers or whatever you do with donos.. paypal from your site.. "3GL38138CU822881W"....I am willing to whack you with more for some break throughs on being able to fit the GTX 980 to my P170EM with 3940XM and P570WM with 4960X... I hope the P570WM isn't gunna be a waste of Top dollars.... I used your BIOS update on the P570WM, is a different animal, would like to get rid of the 880m's...

elweegie Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I too would be interested in a Bios to allow the p750 to run 980s.... my system builder says at the moment that the machine can't take them due to Vbios incompatibility. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejjjaaaa Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Have just updated the P15xSM-A & P17xSM-A Mods in the OP with new "cool" and "silent" ECs.the only way to change from "silent" to "cool" is to reflush the firmware - you can't achieve the same change by selecting different options in bios menu if you have modded firmware installed with "silent" option for EC, right ? I am sorry if the question is stupid - not an expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to change from "silent" to "cool" is to reflash the firmware.does modified firmware from Prema in any way interact with (take into account) firmware in dGPU ? because as I noticed there are modified vbios' available and curious if any potential gains of any kind might be available in using both together (in terms of stability, not overclocking of anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemanpl Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Prema - this is what happened to my P170SM: Everything was working fine for like 1,5 months until 2 days ago when it started happenning: everytime I switched on Clevo it was swithing itself off in couple of seconds. When on AC it was a loop until it finally started (4-7 reboots). So I flashed back to stock and it seems, all is working fine. What could it be?

Tonrac Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I think that the laptop had some difficulties to detect the correct speed/value of your ram during post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
