Where to find an updated bios for the Erazer X40 (4090)?

[Tijgert]

I just got my new Erazer X40 in and I know about all the problems recent gaming laptops have been having.

I'd like to check if my bios is the most current or if there is a new one that improves performance (reduces crashes).

There is no download for bioses that I can find, but maybe I'm not looking in the right places.

Follow up:

I have bios 1.12 EC 0.24. 
I know that for the X40 exists 1.14 EC 0.27, but Medion support claims ignorance. 

For other brands of the same laptop there’s even 1.19 EC 1.08

Cam anyone help?

I have finally received a bios from Medion. It’s 1.19 with EC 1.08. If anyone needs it…

[r3nfolly]

Yes, I'd like to have, please.

Hi @r3nfolly

I think you’re right. XMG has 1.19 and I think I inadvertently wrote the X40 bios was 1.19 too, but I’m sure it was 1.18 as I remember it was still one digit lower than XMG.

Still, it took over a month of nagging before they gave it to me.

XMG BIOS is on 1.21 and EC-1.09, and works perfectly.

I want MEDION to provide the same level of support and work on their BIOS to sort the issues with freezing and restore Medion Logo on Boot.

I didn’t want to write it here, to avoid others doing it and possibly voiding their warranty, but I too am on the XMG 1.21 bios. I just got too tired from arguing with Medion and not getting anywhere to get the simplest of updates just so the machine would work normally.

When I finally did get an update all my problems were already solved, by XMG.

All we need now is a max fan setting on the watercooler and let’s gooooo!

[r3nfolly]

Medion doesn't care about its customers, no communication and zero information on the 4090 freezes.

The next laptop I'll buy from XMG.

[Tijgert]

Same. Never Medion for me again. I wouldn’t even call them Medium as that would be an upgrade 🙂

I did buy the Medion watercooler though as XMG is still using the older version and I wanted to be able to travel more easily with it. (I also bought the XMG watercooler as I feel I owe them, and backups never hurt, in case I wanna go modding, which I do).
