    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST BIOS Update for Elimina II?

    Are there any BIOS updates available for the Elimina II (Clevo NH77HJ)? The touchpad is not functioning under Linux and the suggestion from the Linux Kernel community is that this is a firmware issue. I know that you don't support Linux but if a BIOS upgrade is available it may sort my problem.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Manjaro on Elimina 17

    Anyone know what touchpad is actually fitted to this machine? xinput thinks its an ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad but I have seen ads that say its a Microsoft Precision Touchpad.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Manjaro on Elimina 17

    On examining dmesg I found this: genirq: Failed to request resources for ELAN0412:01 (irq 140) on irqchip INT34C6:00 i2c_hid_acpi i2c-ELAN0412:01:Could not register for ELAN0412:01 interrupt, irq = 140, ret = -22 i2c_hid_acpi: probe of i2c-ELAN0412:01 failed with error -22 I guess that's why...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Manjaro on Elimina 17

    Updated the kernel to 5.12 to see if it fixes the touchpad problem. It doesn't but it uses Wayland and this seems to fix the login screen issue. It's an ill wind ...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Manjaro on Elimina 17

    Thanks for the tip, I now have a basic touchpad with psmouse proto=impsadded to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in grub. It also works with bare and exps but can't see any difference. I had similar experience trying to fiddle with i8042 settings, no joy. I also have an error with tpm - [Firmware Bug]...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Manjaro on Elimina 17

    The install was with the Gnome desktop, any chance that one of the others might work?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Manjaro on Elimina 17

    Just done a clean install of Manjaro on my new Elimina 17.3" laptop (Clevo NH77HJ). There are a couple of issues: 1) The touchpad doesn't work. libinput identifies it as an ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad (which I guess is correct) but it produces no input, even when using libinput debug-events so I'm...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST M.2 SATA SSD Not Detected

    Just received my Elimina laptop and it looks great. Before I get started using it I thought I'd fit the M.2 SATA SSD in the spare second slot (there is an M.2 NVME SSD in the first slot) so I can access some of my old files. However, it doesn't seem to be detected by the BIOS. Is it possible to...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST N170RD Suddenly Shuts Down - Fan Test?

    I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 on my N170RD laptop and recently had a couple of occasions when it suddenly and unexpectedly shutdown. I'm assuming that its an overheat problem. I've opened it up to clean it but there wasn't really anything to clean out. The fans both spin freely but I haven't noticed...
