x7200 BIOS / Drivers

[sirana]

I've the 1.00.07 BIOS, should I update it, and if so to which version? Also, all BIOS download links are dead, can someone upload it or link me a working one? Thanks in advance!

The Clevo ones no longer work, but I've left them up at this time. A little while ago, they removed them from their own FTP site - even the web based FTP.

My guess is some ppl bricked their machines, and they didn't want to deal with the support. Check with your reseller/builder. See if they can get you any updated BIOS versions. BTW - if you have a Sager, the Sager BIOS links do work.

I don't have a Sager, but a Sager BIOS installed on my x7200 as I needed it to run the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility as it was locked with my stock BIOS. Also I believe my builder is unable to provide me with a new BIOS as they even suggested me I should use the VGA driver that comes with the install disc.... Cat 11.6 in 2012... yeah

If you are using the Sager based BIOS in your x7200, then I *believe* you can upgrade to other Sager based BIOSs.

You may want to go through this thread - Clevo BIOS Thread - or PM Blacky for more details.

I see Babyhemi @ LPC-Digital has a custom x7200 bios of some sorts.

Can not one write from self a bios, or modify the latest x7200 bios and insert inside "data" so that motherboard then recognizes the geforce 680m ?

Because as i can see, suporting an unsupported VGA is bassicaly a bios update away.
If clevo won't want to make one for us, can't we make one for us ourselves ?

By the way, im looking to upgrade the vgas and for that i need what is named "the latest bios".
Unfortunatly there is no way bioses for the x7200 are no longer downloadable.

Can anyone post a link with the latest bios so that i can download it and update my mainboard ?

Latest (or last published one) would be this one. Direct Link here. It's also what I have installed at the moment.

As for the rest. a BIOS mod is not necessary I think, but a driver mod. The one.de guy said with the latest SagerBIOS (my link) the Card gets even recognized in the BIOS, but not in Windows itself. With the GeForce-driver mod it was successful to install the card though.
Too bad he couldn't test the card in games yet, he thought the 580/485/675 heatsinks didn't fit the card properly and gaming would damage the card. Which should be incorrect.

You know what there is not in the OP. A driver for the YUAN internal TV tunner. Made it work in the past, now i reisntalled my windows and it has no drivers, i didnt remember what i did in the past, would need to look further.
ALso one must note that the supplied motorola bluetooth driver does not work. One installed and turned on, it says, bluetooth dongle not supported.
The only way to make it work is to let windows install through windows update drivers, and do not install dirver from cd/ftp.

It work as its suppose to with my Nokia BH 905 stereo bluetooth headset.

Bytales,

I didn't order mine w/ the TV tuner, and don't recall seeing a driver listed on Sager's or Clevo's site. If you have a link or can find a resource, let me know, and I'll update the OP.

New updates thru Nov. 2012 for the x7200 drivers.
