Hi!

From my point of view P151SM suits my needs better than P150SM or P157SM, because is cheaper and right now I don't need a powerful MXM graphics.

The only issue I have with this model would be related with the missing backlit keyboard.

Would be possible to swap the non lit original keyboard and install an illuminated keyboard from the P150SM model?

Also, as a last question, I see the powerbrick for P151SM can provide up to 120W. Is this swapable with the one from P150SM which should provide 180W?

Thanks!

Everything is possible, if you are able to changes some components (keyboard, top case, both led board, keyboard connectors and resistors on mobo). I do not know if EC crossflash to P150/170 will not be required.

I use both keyboards (in HM and SM) and older is better. :)

      P150SM upgrade to 980m Failed after 1 week. Need help!
      By OnaStack100
      I have a p150sm which has a seemingly dead 780m due to a perpetual error 43 which came after a big BSOD about 6 months ago. I upgraded the laptop to a 980m and modded the inf files. The upgrade was perfectly fine for a week. One day, i left the laptop and something related to sleep or power may have caused the laptop to shut off. Since then, the laptop with the 980m won't boot. I tried many things like resetting cmos, taking out the hardware and putting it back in, and resetting bios, and buying a 230W adapter. Nothing worked. The laptop works fine with the old dead 780m in there, but now when the 980m is in there, holding the power button generates a green light flash and then the power LED goes back to orange. No sounds, maybe one tick, and that's it. What is left to try?

      Backlight on GL502VT no longer working after flashing modded bios
      By Zoarilamb
      I fiddled around with modding my laptops BIOS to unlock XMP profiles and hopefully seeing if optimus could be disabled. After flashing my modded bios and trying it out, I noticed that my keyboards backlight no longer turns on. I was unaware it requires an official BIOS to function. They backlights wont turn on unless ASUS ATK package is installed but now it seems it also needs an official BIOS?
       
      The modded ROM and tool I used if anyone has any experience with this and doesn't mind telling me what to enable/disable, or anything else i can do to re-enable them

      p150em 8970m problems
      By Buratos
      Привет. Помогите, мне грустно.
      Существует clevo p150em, недавно обновленный с 7970 до 8970 м (от 150 см)
      Bios, R.2.0 / 1.02.17EC v3b / 1.02.11EC.
      Когда он был установлен 7970 м, в BIOS на линии gpu это было 7970 м. После установки 8970m, NVIDIA пишет вместо 8970m.
      Драйверы на 8970m не установлены, либо синий экран, либо ноутбук замерзает. Windows 10 1713.
      Я пробовал разные версии драйверов, все равно. Что вы посоветуете?
      8970m vbios  VER015.041.000.000.044964 BR44964.009 it s DELL? 
       
      ps. when I bought 7970m for a place of 670m. At 7970m there was also a problem with the drivers, but I somehow skipped it.

      Specific keys (5, 6, 8) work inconsistently on Y500
      By enchained
      I'm talking about digits row, not numpad block.   Very often those keys either don't work, or print two characters at once. If I press again, they may work or not, or print two characters this time.   Anyone had this issue? I'm looking for those who have a design similar to Lenovo Y500.    It started after a good few years of usage and became very annoying.   Is the keys structure just becoming old? Can I take those specific keys out and clean them, or it's too risky and I can break them in the process? Do I have to disassemble the whole laptop? Is the keyboard disassembled from the front or the back? I'm going to replace the wi-fi soon so I was thinking if I could do both.   I also heard about something like compressed air keyboard cleaner. Could it help with my case and my keyboard type, and do I use it on assembled or disassembled parts?

      New GPU on P150sm
      By msigt60
      Hello Everyone!
      I am lucky owner of best!  Clevo P150sm model. I buy them witchout gpu and mount my Nvidia GTX 880m 8gb mxm card, but I have a little problem :-(
       
      My spec:
      P150sm - Win 10 64-bit
      I7-4710mq
      8gb ddr3 1866mhz
      Prema Bios (v2 for P150sm)
      ssd m-sata
       
      I am flashed GPU to unlocked vBios - 80.04.F8.001D
       
      In BIOS gpu detect at ,,NV GTX880m,, but in system (Device Manager) says: Microsoft Basic Display Adapter (witch yellow warning triangle)
      I'm downloaded new drivers for Nvidia website (376.33 - win10 64-bit) but I have these message: Nvidia Installer cannot continue ........
       
      I'm reading about DEVICE ID, so I am apply these instruction:
      http://null-bin.blogspot.com/2015/08/how-to-modify-nvidia-notebook-driver.html
       
      My device ID show:
      PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1198&SUBSYS_51061558&REV_A1
       
      So, In nvciv.inf i have:
      %NVIDIA_DEV.1198.0377.1558% = Section030, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1198&SUBSYS_03771558
      %NVIDIA_DEV.1198.5281.1558% = Section032, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1198&SUBSYS_52811558
       
      so, I add these lines:
      %NVIDIA_DEV.1198.0377.1558% = Section030, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1198&SUBSYS_03771558
      %NVIDIA_DEV.1198.5106.1558% = Section031, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1198&SUBSYS_51061558
      %NVIDIA_DEV.1198.5281.1558% = Section032, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1198&SUBSYS_52811558
       
      and
      NVIDIA_DEV.1198.5106.1558 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M"
       
      But I still has a error message and can't instal any drivers :-(
       
      Please, someone, help me! (sorry for my English)
