followed by a few dozen more lines.
On the bottom of my laptop, I see a sticker which says

MODEL: NV41MZ

and also has

CLEVO CO.

just above

MADE IN CHINA

.


I tried searching that with support and/or
bios update  or  "bios update"    ,
and mainly find  clevo-computer.com .


I also find  clevo.com.tw ,  but

that does not come up when I search Clevo in general
and
my understanding of how web-addresses work is that clevo.com.tw
is part of com.tw rather than part of a site named clevo
and
com.tw does in fact bring up a site

.


clevo-computer.com seems far more likely to be legitimate,
but I just sent a Support message to
the seller (thinkpenguin.com) to check.
I do not have a classic manual on paper.

I also do not know the key - or any other way -
to enter the CMOS setup program, although I could
probably get that information from the seller.



Thankyou,
Eric Demer
