Just got hold of this laptop - i5 12450, RTX 4050, 144Hz display - but I'm unable to locate it anywhere on the Medion website, either by MSN, model name or MD number. I've not tried serial number but presumably... I just want to register the device, check warranty, download any BIOS updates/drivers etc but at present cant do any of it. Windows Update is fine and Im up to date in that respect. Tried to log a support call with Medion to no avail - completed the webform and it just span around doing nothing 😞 Please help - thanks! 🙂

Just to close this topic off.... I ended up getting my refund and deciding to build my own gaming PC! First time build, everything worked (and crucially it still does after a good few days now! 😉 and I couldnt be happier.. Best of all, it came in at just about the same cost for better equipment! 🙂 Thanks for a very brief relationship Medion...

Thanks for your input. So today I have received my refund so am now on the lookout for another computer.... Suddenly had a brain wave and realised I dont actually need a laptop so am considering a Desktop - and why not the Erazer range. Can anyone recommend such a beast? On a par or better than the x6805 laptop I had briefly?

It can’t be RGB flicker - there’s a specific whole in the Trackpad for this light to show through - it has to be there for a reason, surely? In any case, Ebuyer have no stock so I have to get a refund... 😞 im not sure if I can find this laptop anywhere else at this price... Such a shame

Ok, thanks. It must mean something (otherwise why bother to do it) but it ONLY happens the once a second or so after holding the power on button, either on battery power or on mains. A mystery! 🙂 Be good to know what it is for...

While I wait for the hopeful replacment laptop to arrive (though showing out of stock so suspect Ill get a refund only) - could you tell me the significance of the green flashing light in the top left corner of the Trackpad, a few seconds after I attempt to power the laptop on? Does it mean anything?

Ciderspace666 · ‎23.07.2019

Yeah, thought it worth a shot. Fingers and everything else crossed for a quick turnaround. Thanks!

Decided it was worth unpacking to try the first 2 options... Unfortunately neither worked so now repacking and will send back tomorrow - hopefully for a replacement. Will update..

Hi, thanks for your reply and yes, very annoying! I was hoping to get a response before I'd packed it away as Ive since heard from eBuyer and have my RMA. Would it be worth trying your fixes? Having been working just fine for a few hours the night before, how could it get into 'shipping' mode? I never knew such a term existed! I have held power down for longer than 5 seconds in my attempt to get it working but never thought to go to 30 seconds or beyond. I would rather not send it back as is becuase it contains my data so I might have to unpack and try. How likely is it to work do you think? There is nothing getting to the laptop (other than for that green light to come on - any ideas what that is by the way?) - no fans etc so cant imagine connecting to another display will help... But I am interested in the 30 and 60 second options so... Thanks again

Hi. Just registered having taken delivery of my shiny new Erazer x6805 last Friday morning. Set it up and then went on holiday and was eager to return and try it out. Came home Sunday afternoon, powered it on, installed Steam and played Beamng.drive for a couple of hours - all good. Powered off for the evening. This morning however, the only no sign of life is a single green light flash on the trackpad (top left corner) after I've hit the power button for a few seconds - both on battery or connected to power. Surely it hasnt failed already? No more than 5 hours use - I am so disapointed. What does the flash light mean? Cant find anything in documentation/online. Bought from eBuyer online - do I go back to them or direct to Medion? Or am I doing something silly?! Im a Mac guy at heart and this was bought purely for gaming/beamng having tried out a lesser PC laptop with awful results! Any help very much welcome 🙂
