    P170EM with GTX970m bios and vbios

    Hello from Romania.
    I have an old Multicom (Clevo) P170EM, with Prema BIOS P150EM_17_11_PM_v2 (from old times, when it was free on internet). By the way, i still have this bios available for someone who wants it.
    I buyied an Clevo GTX970m 6GB MXM video card to upgrade my dead card, but I cannot make it to function properly in my notebook. I understand that I need a special Prema vBIOS to make it work on my notebook.
    So, i ask anyone who has this vBIOS on his computer (or can save it from an working card in a laptop) to help sending it to me.
    Any ideas are welcome.
    Thank you.

      Re: P170EM with GTX970m bios and vbios

      I got a Dell GTX675m from a friend, but is not detected in BIOS, it says at VGA : N/A (with the GTX970m it says EMPTY).
      I know that a lot of people says that Dell video cards do not work in Clevo notebook, but why? Is it hardware or the vBIOS? In pictures, the two boards (Clevo and Dell) looks the same to me.
      I can desolder and reprogram the vBIOS chip with Clevo BIOS, but is hard to do this and I need to know if this is the only solution, that someone did it and it worked...
      Thank you.

              The card was fried (some memoryes were short-circuited), so after i get them down from the board, i did made some tests ..
              I put Clevo bios on it and is recognized by name in my notebook bios correctly. Windows also recognized it correctly and tryed to install a driver. But after that, other memoryes fried too (memory voltage was zero again) and the card was not detected
              So, my opinion is: a Dell (Alienware) cards works in P170EM, but with a Clevo BIOS (i did not tested it with Dell bios).
              I'll be back with news.

                  BIOS REQUEST FOR CLEVO PE60RNE-G
                  by princebuzz
                  Hi everyone,

                  I’m looking for the correct BIOS / EC / ME firmware for a CLEVO PE60RNEQ laptop that was sold by Scan as a 3XS system. The laptop has developed a boot issue that appears to be firmware-related, and I’m hoping someone can provide a dump or the correct files.

                  System Information:
                  • Base laptop model: CLEVO PE60RNEQ (NP60RNEQ)
                  • Motherboard ID: PE60RNE_RND_RNC
                  • Vendor: Scan 3XS (UK)
                  • Unfortunately, I no longer have the original box.

                  Firmware Versions (from BIOS):
                  • BIOS Version: 1.07.07SCI
                  • EC/KBC Firmware Version: 1.07.07
                  • Intel ME Firmware Version:
                  ...

                  🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
                  by macabook
                  Hello everyone,

                  I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
                  🧩 Initial Issue
                  • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
                  • External display (HDMI) shows
                  ...

                  [Problem/ Request] Bricked TongFang GK7MRFR BIOS
                  by cr4zychriss
                  Hello everyone,
                  I am requesting urgent assistance to unbrick my laptop, a rebranded TongFang GK7MRFR chassis. The laptop is completely dead following a faulty in-OS EC flash attempt.
                  I have successfully used a CH341A programmer and can read/write/verify both flash chips, but using my backups/extractions has failed to restore power. The root cause is likely a corrupted Intel Management Engine (ME) region or an incompatible EC/BIOS pairing. System & Hardware Details
                  • Barebone / Chassis: TongFang GK7MRFR
                  • MB: MB: GK5MP5X V1.0 Prod :GK5MRFV10T04201310281

                  Clevo P170em BIOS 2mb Request
                  by alensan
                  Hi,

                  I had an unfortunate accident when I was updating the bios chip for a Clevo P170em and I brick it so I have a CH341a to reprogram the chip but when I tried to flash the official bios from Clevo I see that the official bios is 4mb and the chip says 2mb so the software is all the time saying that it can't be flash because the size.

                  By any chance someone have the 2mb bios that I can use to flash the chip.

                  Thanks

                  ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
                  by pirati
                  Hello everyone,

                  I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

                  When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

                  I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...
