I have a Recoil II from August 2018 which just stopped working yesterday. No power or charging lights. I checked the power adapter with a multimeter and it's fine. I bought the 3 year warranty. I just read the t&cs and can't see what happens if they don't have a motherboard availble to...

I bought a new higher capacty battery but the voltage on the battery is 15.2V and on the existing battery is 11.4V. Is this the right battery? As you can see the old battery became puffy. No idea how that happened. https://www.replacement-batteries.co.uk/getac-laptop-battery/3687.html

Hi https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/defianceVII-15/ Does anyone know what chassis this laptop is? I just checked it out on the PCS website and for £1,106.00 inc. VAT it seems reallly cheap for a RTX2060 laptop and the battery capacity is really impressive. AM I missing something? Is...

My Recoil II GTX1060 will not display on my parent's Samsing 5600 TV. I thought it used to and sometimes after radomly changing settings: resolution, rebooting, duplicate/extended/second screen only, unplugging etc etc, it works., Each time it has worked I have not noticed a consistent...

Would user mind posting their Recoil ii benchmarks? BIOS 1.04

I received my Recoil ii yesterday and everything is fine. I clean installed Windows 10 Pro, installed all devices and the Game Center. Everything has been working fine as far as I have seen. Today I just installed the Soundblaster software, firstly I was suprised there was no icon in the...

Hi There is a thread on another forum that relates to a bare bones models PCS is also selling, it has a lot of useful information. Am I allowed to put it in a post? I can't see anything in the rules explicitly disallowing it, it's not a competitor's forum.

Hi I am on my second Optimus 15.6 laptop and it's getting closer to time for an upgrade but this time I might consider a different model. I would like to know how easy is it to upgrade/change the RAM, HD, M.2 cards etc. I would also like to know the chassis because PCSpecialist's own laptops...

Is there a model based on the Clevo P751TM chassis?

It's almost 3 years since I got my Optimus V and now it's time for an upgrade. I was waiting for a machine with the GTX1060 as the V has an GTX860m but I assume the GTX1050Ti will be more than adequate. I can't find a real review of the 1050Ti vs 1060 anywhere. I tried to find the manual on...

I have this card in my machine and my Microsoft Sculpt Touch Bluetooth mouse keeps disconnecting. I have 3 of these mice and have also used them on different machines and so I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the card. I've posted on the Intel forums and I'm not the only one to have problems...

My 15.6 Optimus V has been overheating for some time and it's in its 3rd year of warranty. I don't play that many different games on it, I have a desktop for that but the two main ones I play are Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 and Dirt Rally. If I start Dirt Rally, even during the loading...

I use my Optimus V connected to my TV to play games but whenever I plug in the HDMI cable more often than not the sound is still output to the laptop's speakers. Sometimes in the sound panel my TV shows up but even then whether it is selected already or if I switch the default to the laptop and...

I have an Optimus V and I've had a lot of problems with my Microsoft Sculpt Touch mouse disconnecting and then not reconnecting unless I reboot and then not always. I have similar problems with a Logitech BT mouse so I don't think it's the mouse. Both devices work flawlessly with a generic BT...

Hi I just installed Android Development Studio and it can use Intel® Virtualization Technology to run the Android emulator. I downloaded the latest software from Intel but it turns out I need to enable this option in the BIOS. I don't see this option. Has anybody managed to do this or is it...

I've been in India and Nepal for the past 2 months and both countries suffer regular power cuts. Whenever I'm playing a game, mainly PES2015, as soon as the power cuts the game slows as if it's switching to the Intel GPU. I can't find where to force the game to use the Nvidia GPU whether on...

I've just completed the install of my new 15.6" Optimus V with the exception of the SBCinema software. In the download from PCS there are two versions, 3501 and 3508. Anybody know what the difference is or why the older version is included?

I ordered this last night to replace my almost 3 year old Optimus II (GT555m). I will put a Samsung 840EVO 250GB SSD in it as the boot drive and use my old Seagate Momentus XT 750GB drive as the data drive. I will also swap the 8GB of Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9S3K2/8GX out of the Optimus II...

hi I just dropped a spare hard disk into my old Optimus II and installed Windows 8.1 Pro from an ISO without product key for testing purposes. All drivers installed except the sd card reader but I used the Windows 7 driver and that seemed to work ok. After I got .Net 3.51 installed from...

hi My old Optimus II is coming to the end of it's 3 year tenure so it's time to start looking for my next resident. Over on Notebookreview forums someone suggested that Clevo is phasing out the W355STQ chassis. If so does this mean that the Optimus V will be replaced by a Optimus VI? cheers...
