It had been charging just fine previously. I could plug it in, juice up, and then use it unplugged for hours. Then last week I was using it unplugged and the battery died -- not unusual and has never caused a long term issue before. I fetched the adapter and when I plugged it in the current problem began. On the UX461F, there's an indicator light for when you charge it. This has always functioned properly in the past. There's also an indicator light for when you turn power on; this light stays on as long as the device is powered on. The new behavior is as follows: While unplugged, no lights or power at all While plugged in, power light turns on inside of battery light. I am also extremely confident it's not powering on. Not only is the display dead, but the UX461F is both loud and hot when it runs (this laptop has notoriety for getting hot) The behavior SHOULD be: plugging it in causes the battery light to light up power light only turns on if you power it on (it should not be triggered by the charger afaik) The following DID NOT WORK: Holding down power for 10, 20, 60, 90 or however the hell many seconds different troubleshooting guides say leaving it plugged in for multiple days and "waiting it out" popping the battery combinations of battery pop/power hold down that are supposed to "reset power management" Is there anything else I can try? I have a hard time believing it just bricked; it was running perfectly fine seconds before this started happening. No slowdowns or anything. It wasn't even hot like it often is. It was having a good day if anything. I also struggle to believe it could be the battery when it still had had high survival recently. In the off chance it's helpful, here's the model spec page: https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/for-home/zenbook/asus-zenbook-flip-14-ux461/techspec/

Great, dunno know whether HP RTX3000 would run in the 17 G1 though with a 3rd party DC. The thing is, the standard, non-DC Zbook uses an LVDS screen, and also the DC is LVDS I believe. I don't know how this works exactly, but apparently the igpu puts out the video signal through the display cable, which connects onto this board, and it is then converted to LVDS via this board below the screen. HP for ZBook 17 G1, 17 G2, LVDS Board (PN: 741282-001, LS-9374P) - 2630138 The ZBook DC screen converts edp to LVDS too with an internal controller board behind the panel. Dunno why, it's just a weird design to me. Edit: apparently it would run:

I got the HP RTX 3000 to work in DC with the Dell M6700.

Yeah, and I got my running just fine, thanks 😉 My machine is a zbook 17. The RTX3000 displays through the integrated GPU. That's why I have to keep hybrid graphics enabled in bios. Otherwise it will create a black screen. And that's the reason why the RTX3000 can't be used in combination with a dreamcolor screen, as the DC will automatically disable the igpu.

Hello. This GPU doesn't have backlight pins set. So even if your laptop supports eDP on DP_D, your screen will stay black. There is a dirt cheap RTX 3000 for 99€ on ebay, it's the HP variant with the backlight pins.

Okay so I’ve tried everything, registry edits, safe boot disabled, vtd disabled, Microsoft readiness tool, LSA removal scripts along with multiple other powershell scripts, group policy editors etc. Ive even had the promps on start up, “Press F3 to opt out to VBS/LSA” and virtualisation is still enabled which means Throttlestop doesn’t enable voltage control. Going to downgrade to either the Sagar or Clevo 1.07.08 (anyone used both and can comment on which they prefer?). I’ve seen a few posts about people going back and forth without issue but I’ve also seen the post with “XMG to Clevo” files. If I do need to use these to downgrade successfully how do I use them? Extract in the same root as the bios files? Run the XMG to Clevo NSH first assuming it’ll do its thing and then ask me to point it towards the new BIOS directory? Its been many years since I’ve messed with this stuff and although there is a LOT of documentation from the helpful people here a lot of it is conflicting and I just want to make sure I’m not going to brick my laptop. I also don’t fancy using hex editors to create an unlocked XMG 1.07.09RTR, last time I used hex was finding exploits in games about 20 years ago as a young teen trying to find ways to trade exploits / hacks for in game currency (Rohan online, Conquer online were my jam back then).

That is an actual picture of my RTX3000 from the ebay listing I got it from, with its heatsink mounted ofc. Was advertised as "NVIDIA Embedded MXM GPU Module with NVIDIA® Quadro® Embedded RTX3000 Mobile". Won it for 120 sth. €. HP ZBook 17 Compal LA-9371P Rev 0.3 Schematics.pdf

Thank you! You don’t need all the switches, I’ve done it mostly for fun. You may want one of them though - PWM cut - when it’s disconnected it sets the fans at full blast, when it’s connected the laptop is controlling them. Or no switches at all - whatever the laptop’s fan table says, or if the HWinfo’s fan control works (it does on 8740w) you can control them manually from there, so the PWM is a bit pointless, but no so much if you don’t want additional programs running. For the no switches - you only need Tach connected to one fan, everything else (Power, Ground, PWM) is split between the two. In any case I would love to see what you are going to come up with.

Nice !! Looks complicated to get all that wiring down. I was thinking of doing smething similar on my soon to be zbook 17 g1. However I was going to use an arduino connected internally to one of the not in use USB ports for the fingerprint reader. That way I can code a PC to arduino interfacing app that can cantrol the fan speeds internally from the laptop without having to use external switches. This does reqire coding skill tho and I lack some of that.

Uhhh, that not an acual picture right ? We were talking about the pinout of the MXM connector that links up the GPUs display outputs on 4 different channels : A, B, C and D Usually eDP from the GPU is located on channel D called DP_D But for it to work the laptop must wire the eDP port to DP_D of the GPU ! The confusion is that some zbooks : Zbook 15 g1 + g2 + g3 and zbook 17 g3 have it wired to DP_C meaning no output on the internal screen

Of course, its not something I would recommend to the laymen. Just something I have been fondly passively following for the past couple of years. Mods are always exciting when you are watching someone else suffer the ups and downs. When I was modding the Alienware 17 R1 my friends thought I was nuts taking a Dremel to my laptop and "making" my own heatsinks and there were definitely plenty of times I was questioning whether or not I was tempting fate! lol Like an idiot I did it anyways. The Red Devil 7900 XTX effectively is that new scratch to that "itch". Heck I have been semi debating picking up a DDR3 based system just to see how it performs under games of this era. I have enough hardware though so I really shouldnt. https://www.ebay.com/itm/406231132612?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20250417133222%26meid%3D3b5d9c1dce2a42bca896f1dd563e6c62%26pid%3D102727%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dnone%26itm%3D406231132612%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DWatchlistVariantWithPSItemDR_BP%26brand%3DASUS&_trksid=p4375194.c102727.m162921 If they accepted 300 might be a fun deal, looks like a lot of cleanup though. As for the politics, lets steer it back away from that. Feel free to discuss the issue itself but lets leave the politicians off the thread. Feel free to continue via PM :)

Hello experts, I am experiencing a severe Firmware Deadlock on my Clevo NH50_70RC (rebranded as Casper Excalibur G770). After an installation attempt of CachyOS (Arch-based), the system has become stuck in a boot hang state. The Issue: Logo Hang: When any drive (SSD/HDD) containing Linux partitions is connected, the system hangs indefinitely at the manufacturer logo. I cannot access BIOS (F2) or the Boot Menu (F7) in this state. The Cause: It appears the InsydeH2O firmware is panicking while parsing the UEFI boot entries or the GPT partition table of the Linux drives. Current State: I can only boot into a USB installer if I physically remove all internal drives. However, hot-swapping them back in once the OS is loaded does not trigger a rescan at the controller level, leaving the drives invisible and preventing any wipe/recovery attempts. Technical Assets & Verified Specs: I have obtained a Full 16MB SPI Dump and verified the following specs from the BIOS Main menu: Chassis / Project Name: Clevo NH50_70RC BIOS Version: 1.07.03 (Insyde Corp. 5.23.04) KBC/EC Version: 1.07.03 ME FW Version: 12.0.38.1430 Processor: Intel Core i7-9750H Secure Boot Status: Currently Disabled Dump Details: Includes Flash Descriptor, Intel ME region ($FPT at 0x2000), and the BIOS region with $VSS signatures. My Request: Unlock Advanced/Chipset Menus: I need access to the hidden “Advanced” and “Power” tabs to modify SATA/VMD modes and potentially bypass this boot hang. NVRAM Cleanup: I suspect the NVRAM ($VSS region) is cluttered with invalid boot entries causing the EFI parser to hang. I need the NVRAM region in this dump to be cleaned or reset to factory defaults. SPI Dump Link: SPI Dump (Google Drive) VirusTotal Scan: VirusTotal Scan I have the means to flash this back if I can get the system stable or via an external programmer if necessary. Any help from the BIOS modding community would be greatly appreciated. Although this is a modding request for unlocking and NVRAM cleaning, the ultimate goal is to resolve a storage-induced firmware hang that prevents any drive recovery on this machine. Best regards, HISATO

Thanks for this, I got mixed up and meant VMX. BIOS Update went well! Everything working as it should, I did think that the "wait 5seconds before the splashscreen" might get shorter, my first gen i3 with an ancient SSD still boots faster because it takes so long to get to the splash screen lol. Right so this laptop was pre-loaded with a fresh restore of Win11 Home. I've done everything possible to disable virtualisation. Regedit, group policy (had to enable GPEDIT and download the newest polices to add to this version of windows, followed countless guides and quite literally out of things to try, I've even had the screen at boot asking to confirm whether I want to disable virtualisation and its still enabled which means to access to undervolting. Doing my head in tbh. I'm loathe to do a clean install with Win11 Pro due to all the photo editing software I've got installed plus my games but unless someone can suggest something it might be my only choice, unless I downgrade from XMG's 1.07.09 to the stock Clevo 1.07.08 but from what I gather their BIOS / EC is the best out there for stability and general usage. I've seen a few posts on how to unlock the XMG BIOS but they all list warnings and "dont do this unless you truly understand what you're doing" which I definitely do not.

CM's Premium custom cables. Sure. And no thanks.

That why its a mod and its not easy to pull off, a lot of time and money but its cool to see other people doing this to fight back against NVIDIA. Sadly AMD refuses to take advantage of NVIDIA's mistakes to make themselves a good option. Speaking of the RTX3000 series there are rumors that NVIDIA is bringing back RTX 3060 GPUs https://www.notebookcheck.net/GeForce-RTX-3060-re-launch-Nvidia-preparing-to-bring-back-5-year-old-gaming-GPU-later-this-month-claims-report.1245823.0.html This is stupid, why politicians from both parties always create terrible solutions that wont change anything especially when kids are very tech savvy. Plus this bill is useless especially when Parents buy PCs for their kids they register the account (MS Account) or whatever under the parent's name and age, It would be more scary if they have to verify the age of the user through a webcam every time you wanna login. Just another excuse for the government to take more money out of regular people pockets. Also the media is nothing but propaganda and ragebait same with social media.

@Kastner, I guess you're talking about the situation when laptop self-restarts with short fan blasts about 3-5 times, when for example RAM configuration changes, right? If yes, it usually happens 3-5 times or so, not permanently stuck. Given the update and info in the previous post above, are you sure the situation you describe could have a relation to my situation?

Updates & details: 1. I now recall what exactly was happening 1 year ago. Before I make the operation of CMOS replacement / BIOS reset + changing of RAM, I could boot into BIOS. However, the situation was still very unhealthy. After ~5 minutes or so of being powered on and BIOS screen on, the fans were suddenly starting to blast at maximal speeds, and the right lamp indicating power was blinking orange instead of glowing green! And after a minute or two, the laptop was shutting down by itself. If i remember correctly, Fn+1 was not functioning + only the right 3rd of the KB was glowing green - from power-on until self-shutdown. And after the operation, the laptop stopped being able to boot into BIOS and was having black unlit screen. With the fans and orange-blinking power lamp remaining the same. Fn+1 was not functioning. Please disregard the info about the "changed behavior" in the first post, and consider that it stayed the same since then and until today. 2. Posting this with a 4-5 days delay, been powering on the laptop >30 times and logging the behavior. Attempt 1: 00:00-10:00: silent idle with black screen, power-on lamp glowing green. Fn+1 was functioning, and the standard weak blue KB led was glowing together with the KB's right third glowing green. 10:00-11.30: fans were blasting, the power lamp was blinking orange every ~1.5 seconds instead of glowing green despite the laptop being still powered on! 11.30: self-shutdown. Attempt 2: 00:00-01:25: silent idle with black screen, power-on lamp glowing green. Fn+1 was NOT functioning, only the right third of the was glowing (green). 01:25: self-restart accompanied with short fan blast 01:30-07:30: silent idle with black screen, power-on lamp glowing green. Fn+1 was NOT functioning, only the right third of the was glowing (green). 07:30-12:00: fans were blasting, the power lamp was blinking orange every ~1.5 seconds instead of glowing green despite the laptop being still powered on! 12:00: self-shutdown. Attempt 3-4: 00:00-07:00: silent idle with black screen, power-on lamp glowing green. Fn+1 was NOT functioning, only the right third of the was glowing (green). 07:00-11:00: fans were blasting, the power lamp was blinking orange every ~1.5 seconds instead of glowing green despite the laptop being still powered on! 11:00: self-shutdown.

Silicon lottery vs paying a buttload for basically the same card..... That lightning is gimped with that poor stock voltage and it's a poor sample. Even applying the extra voltage in AB can't save it. All that extra wattage can't save it. Clearly MSI isn't binning too much. Lightning for sale over on the OC forums with a nice, healthy 1.105v voltage cap and a good clocker and even then.......~$6600 USD (toss on a 15-20% tariff on top of that). The Lightning display causing erratic and lower 1% lows is the icing on the cake..... Insane. Two distributors screwing him over two different ways...... trump admin approach to Anthropic is disgusting. Basically using strong arm mafia tactics because they won't let their AI tools run automated and unchecked in battlefield situations or for enhanced surveillance. Hey you won't let us do what we want so we're going to label you a "supply chain risk," potentially catastrophically hurting your business because agreed upon restrictions you won't lift for us.....wow....just wow.... As for Nvidia, the golden rule is in full effect atm. Nvidia is the performance top dog with all the gold....or at least 94% of it. Dominating in every aspect from Steam to AI and more. Someone needs to make a better product to even have a chance of unseating them anytime soon and it isn't the current generation. AMD needs to have their next gen cards (10900xt? 10090xt?) match the consistent rumors and really bring the heat or Nvidia will just continue to dominate. 9070xt is a damn good card for what it is, but it runs hot and heavy for what it brings compared to the 5070ti. Node shrink is definitely needed along with architecture advancements but AMD has really caught up in many areas at serious speeds.

Hi yes you can under volt on XMG 1.07.09RTR bios, I have undervolt it with Throttlestop. VT-D can also be disable on UEFI BIOS MENU. If it doesn’t work for you, you can always downgrade with your Bios update file. good luck.

It is primarily sponsored by 3 libtarded Demoncraps and 1 worthless RINO, all from the cuckoo leftist Denver, CO. So, no it's not the "US" as the foreigner-written article states. It is a boisterous minority. Things are not great anywhere, but mainstream media is unreliable no matter where you live. We all need to be cautious about believing "news" about one country written by outsiders or distributed as part of the orchestrated narrative. It leads to being mislead and misinformed. Hell, we cannot even believe the "news" when it is local because most of it is just bald-faced lies or distortions and plays on emotion. The narrative is almost never accurate because it's part of an agenda to deceive, misinform or mislead gullible sheeple into drinking the Kool-Aid and believing the lies. The states run by idiots (WA, OR, CA, CO, NY, IL, MN) want to do all sorts in idiotic stuff that sane human beings living everywhere else do not want anything to do with. https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/SB26-051
