Oh yeah! Thanks for replying. It work fine now.

A few users might experience random shutdown which is caused by insufficient power input, it can be resolved by updating v3 EC and BIOS. My colleague Steve and Kelvin will post the instructions and files here in a few days.

Besides, we are re-working big battery project on ONYX GTX1060 and it will become available end of August, I will share more info about that.

Oooh that sounds killer. Was just about to ask you re: the battery.

As for the random shutdowns, does using a bigger PSU help then?

Yep it can be resolved by using a 180W adapter or updating the BIOS without 180W adapter.

Will performance be affected/capped if we continue using the 150W PSU with the new BIOS?

Conversely, does that mean the upcoming BIOS update will actually cap performance to 150w levels EVEN if I have a 180w adapter then?

Or does it actually come with adjustable limits in BIOS as per the latest China update?

receive my onyx today.. experiencing random shutdown when playing game.. the power just cut off.
maybe 150W adapter cant support gtx1060 at full load.

does your onyx come with 180W adapter?

No it didn't, it came with the standard 150w adapter unfortunately.

That said, I do have a compatible (MSI/Asus head) 180w spare lying around, so I was wondering.

is this known issue?.
btw can u give a review on your purchase?. thx.

Hi mdduan, can i have your onyx bios and ec editions?

There is a China LOEM using the same BIOS as our 3rd edition, I am not sure if it's the one you are referring to.

The 3rd bios doesn't cap the performance if I am not mistaken, is only improves the voltage compatibility of the adapter.

It also resolves a few bugs like RAID-0 bug.

bios= N.1.04
EC= 1.03.09

Nah referring to the TongFang retail channel BIOS (Z2).

Thanks for the clarification though and do keep us updated on that juicy, juice extended battery as more news develops.

I am not sure if its the same as z2 bios. TF boss told me it's the same bios they provided to Haier, it should resolve the voltage issue. Our technician head also verified the Raid 0 bug issue has been resolved with the new bios.

The current bios fixes almost all the bugs reported earlier.

Well it sounds like should be the same IMHO. Thanks!

Seeing from this thread it seems others using the same chassis have experienced performance limits when using the 150W PSU with the new BIOS, will our units be affected too?

after bios update, my laptop already crashed 2 times.
first crashed happened when the laptop is running in battery saver mode and I left it running transferring file from network.
second crashed when I left it downloading games from steam in AC power.

not much info when checking event viewer log.
only got this critical msg:
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

And got many DistributedCOM error:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}
and APPID
{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}
to the user NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE SID (S-1-5-19) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

any of you guys got this DistributedCOM error? what can I do to fix this?

Wait, which BIOS update? STEVE@ILLEGEAR actually pulled the updates off this thread (check back a page) for some reason.

Check back with Illegear? Maybe there are issues with the update itself thus it was pulled?
