Search for datasheets or configs of similar notebooks

The easiest way to create a config for your notebook is to derive it from a config of a similar notebook model. Even if none of the existing configs works out of the box, they might give you some useful hints.

You can also open your notebook and search for the EC. If you can't easily open your notebook, try searching for high resolution pictures of your notebook's motherboard.

The EC (or Super I/O chip) should look something like this:

Well-known vendors of ECs and Super I/O chips are:

• ITE
• Microchip/SMSC
• Nuvoton
• Renesas

As soon as you have found the chip, write down the model number and look it up on the vendor's website, on alldatasheet.com, or on Google.
The datasheet should provide you with all information you need to create a NBFC config.

Unfortunately datasheets are not always publicly available.
