Many thanks TPFLegionaire, I'm very grateful you took all the trouble to reassess the problem with the Medion techs. for me. So sad for such a simple mistake of me miss-typing to wreck a handy notebook. I will try the bios passwords offered by Gojoy just in case they work. Perhaps this is something that Medion/Lenovo could remedy in future by having a bios recovery password? I hope so. Your answer is very practical to me Again many thanks Burkathy

Thanks TPFLegionaire, I have been in contact with Medion about this problem, and they quoted me approx £100 plus postage etc. and no guarantee of fixing it. I have had a lot of problems with this notebook and was having problems with it when this happened, so I don.t think it a viable option to spend that amount when something else could go wrong at a later stage. It doesn't like the microsoft updates as they can take up GB's and even with extra storage loaded it can still lose the OS hence me going into the Bios. As I have opened it now the warranty would be invalid. I have looked up Youtube videos and some notebooks are able to be reprogrammed or 'flashed' so I thought I would ask if anyone out there could help me to do it, it appears that probably not? Anyway thankyou for taking the trouble to reply, so I awarded you a Kudos. Kind regards Burkathy

11.6" Notebook E2228T Model MD 61050 My Medion Akoya E2228T with Intel® Atom® x5-Z8300 processor is asking for the Bios password and I must have entered it originally mis-spelt as now it will not accept what I thought it was. I cannot get past the Medion logo on start-up, as it asks for the password and after 3 attempts will not accept anymore. I've tried caps lock on and off even though it was only numbers. Medion says I have to reflash the bios or send it back and pay for the service (approx £100 + postage). So I am looking to do it myself. Anyone have any knowledge of what is involved to help me? I have opened the case and disconnected the battery overnight but that did not help. Possibly shorting points on the motherboard is the answer but what points to short? There is no cmos battery or jumpers that I can recognise, so cannot use that method.. It runs on an SSD but it the connections are complicated, and taped to the back of the machine so I don't like to touch that, but removing, then formating it and reinstalling windows using another pc could also work? Absolutely no access to the OS so recovery options are not available. I have proof of purchase and am registered with Medion who have helped me out in the past with problems under the warranty, but this is not covered. Can anyone help me save it from the dustbin please? Many thanks in advance if anyone out there can. 2228T Model MD 61050
