The FN+f5 button also stopped working. I'm not sure which driver I need to install to make that work again? I have both the user supplied drivers and the official motile drivers and I can't find the drive for the key mapping.
Does anyone know how to turn the fan off?
Connected to my LG 24UD58 and i am getting the display keep flicking very intermittenly and also blanking out like the signal is unstable. i've tried full rgb and 4:4:4 ycrb signal and still doing the same thing. using the latest amd chipset and radeon from amd site. Not sure what else i can do at this point.
even switching down l to 1980x1080p to the external monitor doesn't fix this problem. tried another cable still same. both these cables work on another 4k monitor as well as when i use another laptop
Edit: nevermind. Problem solved. another software was misbehaving. had to change a few setting on it.
I really need to upgrade the memory . this 8gb ram is just not enough after the vega already stole 2gb...lol..
I just flashed the EC. It must be done from an EFI shell, but Motile's BIOS/UEFI does not seem to come with one (correct me if I'm wrong). So I downloaded Intel's open source shell from the TianoCore UDK/EDK2 project. You're gonna need a USB stick that you're willing to wipe. Here's how to create a bootable USB stick with the EFI shell:
1. The fan now always spins, and is more aggressive in fan speed for the same temp
2. I can no longer adjust the keyboard backlight (I can't turn it off, and I can't reduce the backlight strength)
I would definitely not update the EC FW from 1.00--also, I noticed that this laptop has issues with lid open/close detection; it doesn't go to sleep when the lid is closed, and doesn't even shut off the display; and when waking from sleep, I typically have to press the power button.

Definitely some inconsistent effects here.
Be sure the Sound Blaster Connect application is running.
Select a sound profile (Game/Music/Movie, etc)
and make sure the Pre-Amp is turned on. Makes a night and day difference"
I don't see any settings in the Sound Blaster Connect app that are labeled "Preamp", please help.

This is after the firmware upgrade right about the lid closed doesn't go to sleep. because I just opened mine setup everything and the lid when it close laptop goes to sleep.

chrome freeze a couple of times. will keep watching
I have 2X16gb corsair ddr4 ram, I used one to replace 8gb, the first try failed starting the sytem. so i tried the second one, it works. not sure if it is the problem of ram or the machine.
then i ram passmark:
PassMark rating:2643.3 57th Percentile
cpu:7539
2D:436
3D:1215
Disk mark 3920
memory mark:1593
Will test run for a week or two to decide if I should keep it or now. Feel like a not fully tested unit.
Overall, the major selling point of this one is light weight,quiet for regular use, decent battery life. My only concern is the potential quality. how long can it last.
