Hi @jasperan,   To my knowledge there is no way to simply reset a BIOS password, worst case scenario you might even have to replace the mainboard :(.  Maybe you can try different variations of the password to try and reproduce the typo? Otherwise I think your best bet will be to contact Medion support directly.      ... Meer weergeven

Hi @Dredz007,    By the looks of it the serviceshop only sells chargers and cables for the E5020 series, the screen does not appear to be sold separately.  I don't know if there are any other screens that would fit this model, so I'm afraid I can't help you there :(.      ... Meer weergeven

Hi @Popopupu,    There is only a generic manual available for this system, so I couldn't find any explanation there.   I would just reinstall Windows on the SSD instead of the regular drive, I can't think of any reason not to?     ... Meer weergeven

Hi @Popopupu,    Thats strange indeed, normally I would also expect for Windows to be installed on the SSD? What is the MD or MSN number of the PC?     ... Meer weergeven

Hi @yu2dva,    Normally you can order parts through the serviceshop, but as far as I can see, they don't list the screen as a replacement part for the S5504. I don't know if there are any third party parts that would fit you smartphone though.      ... Meer weergeven

Hi @ferk,    I'd contact Medion directly and ask if it is ok to open the case just to be on the safe side, but in my experience opening the case does not void the warranty, as long as you don't damage anything. If you ever need a repair you might need to restore there original spec of the PC though, so if you upgrade any parts, keep the originals. I dont know this exact motherboard, but I'd expect there to be one PCI-e 16x and two PCI-e 1x slots (one of the PCI-e 1x slots might be obscured by the graphics card though). The number of SATA ports varies alot more between different motherboards.  The BIOS update can be found here.     ... Meer weergeven

Hi @Major_ToM,    When click the download link I still get a 404 error, even after ctrl-F5?      ... Meer weergeven

Hi @spikeonecs,    How did you get to that link, it seems to me that a BIOS update should not be listed under "Handbuch"? What is the MSN number for your PC?  Also, please keep in mind that this is a Community for users to help eachother, in this case you might be better off contacting Medion directly.        ...

Hi @markyyy,    I'm afraid this won't work, since it is not possible to install apps on the TV.      ... Meer weergeven

Hi @DLON,    Most notebooks I've seen have soldered CPU's, and usually the GPU is also part of the motherboard, without an option to upgrade it. I'm not sure if this is also the case for your notebook, but I'd be inclined to go by the response from the Medion Employee.      ... Meer weergeven

Hi @cojes,    I meant what happens if you connect the original card again, does that work? I dont know of any setting in the BIOS outside of a switch between integrated and discrete graphics on some systems.      ... Meer weergeven

Hi @cojes,    I don't think AMD or Nvidia should matter, I've exchanged Nvidia and ATI cards on a few systems before, both AMD and Intel based, never had any problems with it. My bet would be a problem with either the screen or the cable, or perhaps the BIOS is set to the internal GPU instead of the discrete card? What happens when you reinstall the original card?      ...

Hi @djluck,    I think the keyboard for this Dutch notebook should work for you: https://www.medion.com/medionserviceshop/search?sbf=true&sfs=1&msn=30020028 They use a US international layout, the only difference with a regular US keyboard is the addition of the € sign as far as I know.  The keyboard is out of stock but you can send a request for itso hopefully they still have some stock somewhere or can order it.      ...

Hi @cojes,    I dont have experience with this specific board, but I cant imagine it being a compatibility issue with the  motherboard, assuming all cards you tried are UEFI compatible. Is your powersupply sufficient for the new cards? I think the 1050TI needs a 6 pin powerconnection? And have you tried a different screen and cable combination, just to make sure they're not the problem?     ... Meer weergeven

Hi @bch123,    It does sound like a defective motherboard to me, but the only thing that I find strange (if I understood your post correctly), is that the PC does nothing at all (no power-led either?), but it does turn on and give the correct POST error when you remove the RAM. Have you tried a different module just to be sure?      ... Meer weergeven

Hi @cmos,    I've found this video that shows the location of the battery, I think you will indeed need to remove the bottom cover to be able to replace the battery.     ... Meer weergeven

Hi @TerryofFrome,    As far as I understand it, just about every CPU made in de last decade have the spectre and meltdown vulnerability. Meltdown can be patched by the operating system, but for Spectre there is no definitive solution since it is a result of the way CPU's work on a hardwarelevel.  Though I think the risks for common use is very low, since an attacker would need physical acces to your system to be able to do anything with the spectre vulnerability. Just make sure that your browser, operatingsystem and antivirus software is up to date and I think you'll be fine.       ... Meer weergeven

Hi @dycpepsi,    Great to see you already solved it, and thanks for posting the solution, might help others as well!     ... Meer weergeven

Hi @dycpepsi,    What is the MSN number of your notebook? I don't think the keyboard drivers are the problem, I think you need either an extra Hotkey driver / software, or some form of controll software.      ... Meer weergeven

Hi @Syphareon,    As far as I've been able to find online, the problem with the CPU load of the IntelPTTEKRecertification.exe should be solved with an update of the Intel managment engine drivers (and I think this will also update the capability license service), but they are not (yet) available on the Medion support site. I would expect them to be available there soon, of perhaps they will be installed through Windows update?     ... Meer weergeven

Hi Jim,    Awesome, glad I could help 🙂 ... Meer weergeven

Hi @jim232,    It is a bit hard to see on the picture, but I think the memory slots are to the left of the harddrive (the metal frame with the big circular hole in it). The black stuff there looks like some black plastic foil I have seen before in notebooks, I think this is some sort of insulation. Try to carefully lift it up a bit and see if the modules are below it (if it is indeed a bit of foil).   ... Meer weergeven
