Thank guys. Still need to find a day to bring in my laptop for service and sort out some issue. till then ^^

Hi corona, at the moment, we do not have any newer BIOS updates for the Z5 6700HQ series but should you wish to perform the re-flashing, kindly drop us an email at support@illegear.com - will assist accordingly.

btw how many hdd or ssd we can slot in to my z5?

Hi milky, it depends on the version but for the latest variant, we have one slot of M.2 SSD and one slot for 2.5" storage drive

err mine is quite old edi.. i think more than 4yrs z5.. how can i check without opening up the backpanel?

No worries, you may snap the serial number; which can be found at the bottom of your laptop and it will look like either ILG850XXXXL or IT1C10XXXN or starting from G------.

Once the photo is taken, you may send it to our Support Team via WhatsApp at 018-2618599 to determine the available slots of your laptop for upgrade purposes Our team shall assist accordingly!

Hello All,

Is NL8QQ151 (date : 05/11/2015) is the latest bios version for Haswell chip?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have an old Illegear Z5v2 with broken fans. I would like to buy the replacement fans (both left and right) or if they come as a unit with the heat sink, that's fine too.

Is that possible?

I am saying I want to buy the replacement parts and do the repair myself.

I don't care about warranty, I don't care about tech support. I only care to buy replacement parts and have them sent to my address.

I've contacted you guys through the website, but from the replies I've gotten, they (Adrian and Cheryl) did not seem to understand that I was asking if it's possible for me to buy replacement parts and do the repair myself.

Thank you.

EDIT: Nevermind, Cheryl just replied after I sent in another email.
