upgrading clevo lcd panel supplier

I would first ensure that the motherboard bios is up to date. When upgrading the MXM modules, especially in the case of going from 200 series to HD 7000, you want to make sure the motherboard is able to see it.

Also, as someone mentioned already, who is the manufacturer of your 7970? You will need the proper Clevo vbios for your card. Look at my previous posts in this thread

Dear fellow Clevo P650SG/NP8652 owner and future owner, I wanted to share my experience with upgrading the very disappointing 1080p LVDS display to the beautiful eDP Sharp 4k display, and yes it is possible! However it is not given to everyone to do, it is not an easy process, but if you are careful, skilled with fine soldering and care for gently taking apart and rebuild your brand new laptop, don’t mind losing warranty and get a bit of stressful time then it might be interesting for you.

I am based in China, the Clevo reseller here is named Terran Force, and their price are ridiculously high. Sager was a good choice although I knew that any return to US in case of problem with the laptop would be impossible, shipment is not a valid option, Chinese customs can hold your laptop in hostage asking to pay extra unrealistic fees.

Why call it an upgrade ? very confusing for customers, It leads to make us believe we can swap parts… well this is not Apple product, right ? we are all tech guys who know better and like upgrade freedom and Clevo is our good partner right ?

At this point I feel so cheated… my $3000 laptop , with ugly display.Cheated by Sager who never said that motherboards are not compatible and who could have shipped an eDP version instead with another default 1080p eDP display, and feel cheated by Clevo for not using eDP always which is used by CPUs since 2004 to try to save few bucks.

I feel disappointed by Clevo/Sager that 4k display comes with $400 overpriced price tag, when they indeed don’t even do any extra manual swap of the screen because it is done at assembly in factory, for that price I could change my old cellphone to a latest Xiaomi flagship phone or what not.

Sager did their job as reseller, they sell so many different laptop, how could they really pay attention to details, my experience with them was ok and very helpful they provided me the extra cable, and Clevo, well , I am glad they exist, giving us a good alternative for solid laptop solution, how can I not forgive this mistake compare to all the good things they do for me?

The backlight in my clevo P950EP6 (15.6" defiance v from pcspecialist) has come loose. If I tilt the screen too far back (past about 80 degrees) the backlight turns off, rendering the display largely illegible. I"ve already checked the status of the motherboard connectors and both are fine, so I believe the connector on the display end is loose.

Noise-sensitive users will not be satisfied with the Guru Earth V. The barebones manufacturer Clevo has not made any major modifications in fan management since our last test. The 4-kilogram (~8.8 pounds) machine is already clearly audible in idle mode. A reading of 39 dB(A) at a distance of 15 cm (~6 inches) would usually come from other notebooks only when under load. We perceived the short speed increases (~44 dB(A)) as particularly distracting, but many Clevo barebones struggle with this issue.

In return, the differences in full load are gigantic. While a P370SM barebones featuring a dual-AMD configuration consumed approximately 230 Watts, the Alienware 18 with the same equipment required up to 322 Watts. Nevertheless, Clevo includes a huge 330-Watt power supply for the laptop (198 x 97 x 44 millimeters; 7.8 x 3.8 x 1.7 inches) that weighs over 1.2 kilograms (~2.64 pounds).

So I pull the cabel and battery and let everything sit for a while, in that time I found that FN+D is the CMOS-Reset shortcut for clevos, so I figured I’ll try that, but didn’t even get that far...
