[REQUEST] Clevo P150SM Prema Bios Request

[wussification]

Hello,

I have a Clevo P150SM laptop and am upgrading the GPU from a 980m to a 1060. Unfortunately, the 980m is no longer functional, and the laptop does not currently recognize the 1060 (I am working to install the drivers). Upon booting up, the laptop runs the fans at full speed, beeps intermittently, and eventually shuts down. The shutdown happens way too quickly for me to make any meaningful progress in installing the drivers.

My understanding is that modded bios can allow me to bypass the requirement for a working dGPU and will allow me to get drivers set up without worrying about my laptop shutting down. 

Does anyone have a copy of Prema bios for the P150SM or know of an alternative solution to bypass the requirement for a dGPU? I will tip for help!

I have an update on this. I was able to get the drivers installed for the GPU, and Windows recognized it. I am getting temps, clock speed, etc. and can use it functionally. However, since the BIOS still does not recognize it (GPU status "Unknown"), occasionally, the fans will ramp up to full speed, the laptop will beep a few times, and after a minute, the laptop shuts off.

I have pulled a copy of my BIOS from the laptop and have it open in AMIBCP. At this point, my only goal is to get the MB to recognize the 1060 so I can use the laptop as normal. Would anyone be able to help me make the necessary adjustments to my BIOS?

Hello All,

I have upgraded my Sager NP8268 (Clevo P150SM-A) with a GTX 1060. Unfortunately, through a lot of learning and mistakes, I have learned that none of the BIOS versions from Sager or the currently existing Prema mods are based on a new enough version to support it (or Windows 10 for that matter). Eurocom offers a version 01.05.01 bios for this laptop. Unfortunately, the cost is $89 or $120 unlocked. I can unlock it myself, but I would prefer not to purchase the firmware if it is somewhere online.

It would be greatly appreciated if anyone has this version and the associated EC firmware and would be willing to share it. If it is not unlocked I will even offer to unlock it and send you back the unlocked version.
