I need to get a BIOS update for the Akoya P7627T

Can you please send a link to where I can download it from.

Do you have the MSN of your device (8 digits long found on a sticker on the unit) and the current BIOS version you have.

We can then verify if there are any updates available.

Also is there any particular reason you need to Update the BIOS, change of hardware for example, as it will not improve performance, just fix bugs or new hardware compatibility if requested by the PC/Laptop..

Thanks

I'm switching out the hard drive. I have been running Ubuntu on it for the last 6 years, I'm putting in an SSD Hard drive to replace the current one to install Linux Mint and the SSD (Crucial BX500 480GB SSD) isn't been detected in the BIOS.

@RAZZ I have no idea why it rejected the first image, it was only the label details from the back of the laptop.

MSN: 30016097

@RAZZ Any update on this? Is there an updated BIOS available ?

I have since put back in the old HD and put Linux Mint in it, but I would prefer to be able to use the SSD HD I bought for it.

Hi @AlanMc74

sorry I have not found an update as of yet but due to the age of this device 30016097 2013, there may not be one available.

As soon as I get any feedback I will let you know..

thanks

Yeah it's an old one alright, but still running really well.

I appreciate it, thanks very much.

@AlanMc74

Your rejected picture most probably showed the serial number. That's why it was rejected. But all we need to know is the MSN number which you mentioned.

Did you put the new drive into the second SATA III slot, or did you just replaced the original "SEA 1TB SATA ST1000LM014 SSHD"?

Did you drain the 8GB MLC buffer memory before taking it out?

If not this shouldn't prevent the Bios recognizing the single installed new SSD which is a SATA III. This isn't a Bios problem, but some installation fault, or it is a faulty drive.

Check the cables or receptable slot.. Press the new SSD firmly into it. In between do a residual capacity discharge. Whilest doing take the battery out for a couple of minutes. Then reseat the new drive, and check if it is listed in Bios now. If not, most probably the drive is defect. Or you overlook the disk listing in BIOS 😉

Cheers, daddle

system 30016097 (MEDION AKOYA P7627T MD 98473 ) was shipped with Bios 2.04, but recent version is 6.05 to be run as Winflash version

https://cdn.medion.com/downloads/software/00_Bios_nb_c17a_win.zip

Unzip 00_Bios_nb_c17a_win.zip file and run WinC17AMD.605.exe as admin from Windows surface afterwards.

we would not advise doing a BIOS update unless the unit is bugging/crashing or they have changed hardware and the unit is not performing correctly. If it is working normally then no need to upgrade.

@AlanMc74

I do not understand you This bios @RAZZ provides is in the download list of the Medion Service Portal since longer available.

Second I do not think it is a Bios problem, as I said already. SATA is a long time accepted and technically safe protocol for connecting SATA drives., even much older than from 2013.

But you didn't answer my questions in Post 8. Then we ( I ) can not help you any further...

@daddle haven't had a chance to try your suggestion yet and won't get a chance for at least a week. Replacing current HD, so main slot, didn't realise there is a second slot.

SSD is working as I have tested it, HD bay is working as I took the old one out and put it back in again and installed a new OS. I'm not overlooking it in the BIOS, I've been installing new hard drives into computers for over 30 years, so I think I know how to install one and check that it is there in the BIOS.

@RAZZ thanks for the BIOS update, completely understand that if I go ahead with it and kills the laptop it's my own doing. Thanks for it.

I'll take another look at the install, pull the RAM and double check everything again and see how it goes. I really appreciate the BIOS update and 100% understand the risk.

Thanks again @RAZZ and @daddle for your input and suggestions.

Hi Alan, how are things going?

Have you managed to install the new SSD yet?

An installed HD/SSD won't show up on the first BIOS page. That doesn't prove the SSD wasn't recognized, and it can not be determined from your screenshot of the first BIOS page. So, what happened next, and did you flash the new BIOS?

You could run a test using the Media Creation Tool. I recommend starting with a newly created USB drive with a Windows 10 ISO file for a test installation. In one of the first windows you will be asked where you want to install Windows (on which drive and partition); then all available drives will be displayed.

This could also show whether the new SSD is recognized.
