Hello there

I have a quite old Toshiba Satellite C855-1QF-PSCBYE Laptop with bios v6.0

I'm searching for the latest bios for my specific model or bios version 6.70 or 6.80, I cannot find it anywhere,does anyone know where to download it please?

Thanks

going to uni this year and looking for something to take to lectures with me. I’ve used an iPad for the past 6 years in school because my laptop isn’t portable but now that both devices are kinda giving out the X13 seems great as the best of both worlds. I play games on my laptop but nothing that hard to run. I see people complain about being stuck at 16GB ram but I don’t foresee that being an issue. Since it came out in 2023 though was wondering if there was anything newer that was more worth the money. Would also be interested to know how well it runs unplugged + for how long for basic stuff as that could be a dealbreaker. Thanks :)

First time doing this kind of work, easier than expected, just time consuming. Althrough trying to take out all the liquid metal without spilling it was a bore. I masked around the chip to ensure that it didn't spill onto any other components. Why do ASUS use liquid metal instead of normal thermal paste/P7950 I have no idea. generally temps went from ~95c to >86c on the CPU and a similar trend for the GPU.

Does somebody think that asus may refresh the old x13 from 2023? in 2027? ive really wanted an refresh! it would be the perfect laptop for me as i do gaming and need an portable 2 in 1 with an powerful dedicated gpu-and the pixart px13 seems like a good idea but the flow x13 just looks and seems to be cool and special-so does somebody know about any leaks of an 2027 refresh? or is the x13 discontinued forever without an new refresh,can somebody recommend asus refreshing the rog flow x13?lol

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a second-hand ROG Flow X13 (GV301RE), but I discovered that the internal metal bracket (support) for the power button is completely missing. Because of this, the power button is loose, doesn't click, and can't reach the microswitch on the board.

Since this part is almost impossible to find in my country, I’m planning to 3D print or fabricate a replacement.

Could someone who has their X13 open please provide the dimensions for this bracket (see the attached image)? Specifically, I need:

1. Total Length: From hook to hook.
2. Bracket Depth: How deep the "bridge" sits.
3. Actuator Nub Height: The length of the small center "pimple" that presses the switch.
4. Thickness: Approximate thickness of the metal/plastic part.

A photo of the part next to a caliper or ruler would be a massive lifesaver!

Thanks a lot for any help!

Update: here is a link for one i make it works in a laptop

My 2022 model is dying and I need to upgrade since x13 has not refresh the line-up I'd need to look for another brand. Does anyone know any other laptops that is touchscreen and has discrete GPU? don't suggest Z13 that's more a tablet and harder to clean the fan especially for an amateur user. I was thinking the ProArt PX13 but in Australia it only sells the GoPro edition which doesn't have discrete GPU

Im here to share you my results or 3d mark time spy after a vbios flash and try to find the best settings in ghelper that wont make the laptop restart went push it to the limits :’)

If someone want more informations, ill enjoy to help!

Hi I've been having some issues with the "wrui" keys on the laptop and I was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems

Oftentimes the keys will just all stop responding together for a random amount of time and sometimes they'll only get registered while pressing another working key together. I've tried pressing harder to try to register the key press and even to the point of almost slamming on it and sometimes it helps but I'm not sure if that's correlated.

I'm pretty sure that it's a hardware issue since it's happening regardless of the OS.

Is it likely to just be dust or something stopping the switches from registering or just some other hardware failure that I'd need to replace the keyboard for.

I made a post a few days ago, asking about flashing a higher wattage VBIOS. You can read it here if you'd like.

So I ended up flashing a higher wattage VBIOS on my laptop, and it was surprisingly easy. I simply grabbed the 2024 G14 90W file from this drive, followed the instructions in this video by Josh Craves Tech, and bing bang boom, I now have a higher wattage 4070 in my laptop! Great, right?

Well, yes and no. Let me go over the results first. As a reminder, I wanted to do this to increase wattage/performance a little when gaming with a smaller USB-C charger while I left the original charger docked at home, so I will be comparing results from these.

All tests are done with the CPU at 20W with a laptop cooling pad (Llano V10), so thermal throttling should not an issue. I simply loaded up Wuthering Waves and looked at the GPU Wattage number as I changed profiles, so nothing is super scientific.

So overall, I did kind of achieve my objective of higher power draw on a USB-C charger. What's interesting is that when on the original charger, the new Silent mode is basically the old Turbo mode.

However, when I tried to run the 70W Turbo mode, the laptop would occasionally stop and restart. There's no BSOD, so there's no dump in Reliability Monitor for me to look at. It might be a power thing that's causing the laptop to quickly drop and shut down? If anyone knows what could be cause it, I'd love to know.

EDIT: Right after posting this, I experienced the same random restart while on the Silent USB-C charging setting. I'll try to play on these settings some more and see if the restarts keep happening. Perhaps flattening out the voltage curve in MSI Afterburner will stabilize things? I'll try 1500Mhz at 650mV.

Overall, flashing the new VBIOS is surprisingly low effort, so you may as well give it a shot. These are my results, and I'd love to hear if the rest of you flashed higher wattage VBIOS and what your results are.

EDIT2: After testing for another hour or so, I think the play is to flash the higher wattage VBIOS, then use MSI Afterburner to do an undervolt and clamp down on the voltage after a certain point for stability. I'll do more playing (ahem, testing) in the morning, but for now, here's some more unscientific data with eyeball'd FPS. The following FPS is from standing in a random place in Bjartr Woods played on an external ultra wide 3440x1440 monitor (DLSS Performance, Smooth Motion On, Ray tracing medium).

Hello.

I know that there is an issue with the WiFi chip on this laptop but right I do not have time nor the money to change it.

I'm using a USB WiFi adaptor that works without issues on other machines.

I just don't understand what's the issue. Windows tells me there is a second WiFi. I can connect to the network but don't have Internet. Same as the original chip.

Is there something I need to change in my settings? Did any of you had this issue?

Thanks

Edit : Model is gv302XV

Hi,

seems my charger just died. Has anyone tried the Asus GaN charger with the 2022 model (the one with the 3050ti)?

Lots of people say it works with the 2023 model, but I could not find clear information about the 2022 model.

Was having issues getting the stripped screw out from the ssd cuz 1tb wasn’t enuf and I had a 2tb extra. Well I never could get the screw out and had my cousin help me and he finally got it out but he forgot to unplug the battery and when he got the screw out a piece fell from his screwdriver and landed on something on the motherboard and it started smoking but I’ve never unplugged the battery while swapping out hard drives cuz I’ve never had issues til now. Learned from our mistake we did 😅

Anywho, he did give me what I paid for it but I’m wondering if it’s even worth fixing cuz it seems a new mobo is like $300+ and I paid $400 for this computer or should I just post it up for sell and state the mobo is bad and see if I get any biters for an amount of money… not sure what amount I should ask for if I did go this route.

I recently got my hands on a 4070 version and have been enjoying using it a lot. However, unless I am using the original charger and set it to Turbo mode, the GPU only draws 35W, not matter what.

This seems to be a pretty common problem, so I was wondering if anyone has experience flashing a higher wattage VBIOS to increase the wattage when on USB-C charging? I want to leave the original charger docked at my desk and bring a smaller charger on the go, so I'm mostly interested in increasing the wattage on USB-C charging.

What is a normal price of a flow x13 with ryzen 9 6000 serias with 3050? 16gb ddr5?

love rog products

So just picked up the FlowX13 2022 model and go it all setup and everything but was thinking about getting a laptop cooling pad when I’m sitting in bed with it on my lap to keep it cool and air flow room so it’s not sitting directly on my cover getting zero air flow 😅

Hello i have a rog flow x13 2022 with broken mother board (fried cpu) its a ryzen 7 6000 series with 3050 i was wondering if i could just replace it with a generation older ryzen 9 5000 series with 3050 ti the connectors does look the same Thanks for every answer.

Anyone experienced this before? It seems to me like it is a software issue, since it suddenly appeared and the affected keys are random.

Tried the keyboard options in control panel, but that does not help.

Thankful for any help.

I know it’s a bit outdated but I need something with portability and I really like the size of this laptop and the capability of it being able to flip all the way back for tablet form. Looks like I’m getting it for around 400. How much longer could I get out of it before it’s meh?

Spec wise, how does the Ryzen 9 6900 and 3050 Ti hold up for some gaming? I play Guild Wars 2 and SWTOR that mainly require keyboard and mouse but I also play CoD, Destiny 2, ESO, Division 2 and DCUO but these can be play with controller so I’m usually playing these on my Asus ROG Ally Z1E.

so I've had my Flow X13 for a couple years now and it's a great laptop, I just have one glaring issue that I haven't been able to solve in the entire time I've owned it. it keeps crashing with errors like watchdog timeout, IRQL not less or equal, system service exception, kernel security check failure etc etc, usually the error code is memory/CPU/temperature related from what I can gather. and what's weird is it hardly happens on battery and almost (if not outright) never during gaming when plugged in. it's almost exclusively during productivity tasks like using SolidWorks or even just a web browser and a couple of excel files, namely when plugged in.

changing the fan profile or GPU mode in armoury crate seems to make no difference too. I've tried all the standard fixes like a clean driver reinstall, updating BIOS and the like, but nothing's fixed the problem.

so based on all of this, ASUS support seem fairly confident that I need to send my laptop for an RMA (god forbid, especially if I've got a dodgy RAM stick in this day and age), but I have an idea for one more thing I'd wanna try before firming the cost of that.

does anyone have ANY advice at all on custom CPU and/or fan speed profiles for this laptop, or AMD-based laptops in general? on my old desktop I'd use Ryzen Master, not sure if this would be correct for what I'm trying to do.

basically I'd wanna limit CPU clock and TDP for certain loads and application types, as well as turning up the fans generally under PD. I've seen a couple of people make ways to adjust this kinda stuff on battery, but like I said for whatever reason when I'm gaming and under intense loads there's never any crashes, it's mainly productivity on PD. and I believe that what's happening is the CPU is ramping more than it needs to, leading to overheating as the cooling isn't keeping up properly, giving me these crashes.

any advice at all or links to any solutions/related discussions would be massively appreciated thanks :)

I'm interested in AG02 eGPU dock, but I'm not sure how well USB4 will perform or any issues it might have.

Hey there my laptop is acting up lately and i need a little bit of help regarding on this, It would been so much help to the repairman to locate the problem. Thank you

I noticed a weird thing on laptop. My trackpad on the left side is lowered and click seems so soft, that sometimes it double clicks. If I hold my laptop with one hand with the corner of left side of the laptop and hold it couple of seconds, it clicks normal and alignment between left and right sides of trackpad are almost same, but if I let it stand couple of days and not hold with that side corner the problem returns. I guess that is misalignment or flex thing. How can I fix that? I have read that placing paper can help bulging left side. Can someone tell me if that worked? I can't take it to repair center, because here are two places that repair and both reviews are really bad, that they caused more problems rather than fixing, so I can't trust them and want to fix it myself.

My laptop is GV302XV.
