I must have been confused with the 2 models u mentioned. It was 2 years since I got this Z5 and storage space is running out. Since only 1 x m.2 slot available, I think I will go for Samsung 970 Evo M.2 NVMe SSD for that and migrate the system to the SSD. Thanks and cheers.

Hi

I bought the Samsung 970 Evo M.2 NVMe 500GB SSD and install into the M.2 slot but after i boot up my laptop the SSD is not detected. is there any setting that i need to configure in order for it to be detected? my bios version is QQ111 dated 2016 Jan 5th.

The NVMe SSD can only be detected in the latest Z5 with i7-7700HQ processor, hope clarify.

aiyo my Z5 is i7-6700HQ. Can it support Samsung 860 Evo M.2 then?
Hopefully the shop allow me to replace the SSD and reimburse my money.

The 6700HQ Z5 can upgrade to M.2 Sata SSD, not the PCIe version.

Hi Prince J,
My Z5 cannot on if not plugged.
If plugged then can on.
The battery showing 90% in windows.

Noticed the touchpad light is always on now even though before that I switched it off.
Last time it can remember the light is off if I off it before shutdown.

Anything I can do to fix this ?

Thanks.

Hi Huislaw, possible for us to check your computer?

Yes, when is the earliest appointment available for this Sunday ?

I want to do those too (I bought on 8 August 2015 with 3 years carry-in limited warranty) :

1. Dust cleaning - within warranty how much ?
2. IC Diamond first time reapplication - within warranty how much / free for first time ?

How long will it take? Do I need to leave my laptop there ?

Thanks.

Finally sent my Z5 to service due to cannot switch on with battery power only.
Luckily have to change the battery only.
Also done dust cleaning and thermal paste.

Met Azim@illegear in person too, very nice guy
Also managed to poison myself with Fang mouse and Onyx

Wow TS resurface.

Hi there

had been one of the z5 gen 1 owner since 2014
believe it anot, this device is still standing strong
however the battery itself has been a problem lately, unable to sustain charge
does anyone by any chance sell the battery for z5 gen 1?
asked in illegear fb but always get no stock as reply
many thanks

Hello illegear, i have z5 with i7 6th Gen Cpu + Gtx1060. Is it possible for this model to nv2me interface SSD.

Hi calvin_kenni, replied to you via PM.

Hi corona, I'm afraid that the Skylake version only supports SATA interface for the M.2 SSD slot, hope this clarifies.

RMA my laptop battery not that long ago, and it now got the same problem again. not able to full charge. 1year spoilt 2 battery.

why the battery so fast kong? now my laptop somemore out of warranty... and soon it will become 'desktop'

Hi lonelymac, can I have your warranty to check? The replacement part also comes with 6 month warranty and we will try to cover for you.
