In early 2024, a friend pointed out that an interesting Laptop is available in a swiss webshop at a rather low price. This machine is the Clevo L140CU, which is noteworthy because it is also sold by System76 with open-source firmware. What follows is a story of open firmware, dodgy flashing setups, lost hardware and maybe a working laptop in the end.
