Hello everyone,
this laptop has a very restricted bios. The feature I miss most is to control the fan.
Clevo doesn't offer any bios downloads nor do the resellers, so I used different tools to dump the bios (find attached). Phlash16 didn't work because it needs a existing bios to create a backup.
Tools used:
- pflash (from asus)
- Winphlash64
- Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0
I used the Phoenix Tool to split the bios in its parts (tool and dump attached). There are some very interesting lines in the file "STRINGS00.ROM":
"This value controls the temperature of the ACPI Active Trip Point - the point in which the OS will turn the CPU Fan on."
"Bus Speed Override.Value entered will be taken as overclocking percentage (%)of current clock frequency.Value varies from 0%-49%(0h%-31h%)"
I hope somebody can have a look at the bios and try to unlock it. I really would appreciate it!
Kind regards,
Habafu
