N'Abend, community.
This afternoon I wanted to write a log with my laptop (model in the title). After an hour I got up to have a drink.
I come back and see how he suddenly turns off. It doesn't work at all, with or without a power cord.
It can't be overheating because I used it more in the summer to play.
Do you have any advice? There are some things on the thing that I need for my studies and now the exam phase is about to begin. The guarantee has also expired at least 2 weeks ago.
I look forward to your advice and thank everyone in advance.
Remove hard drive and save data.
I have no idea how it works. I removed the battery today so that I might get it back, but it doesn't help.
If so, I will have it done by a specialist.
You should do this BEFORE playing around with the notebook.
On the Internet or maybe in the manual you will find how to remove a hard drive. It is unnecessary and expensive to remove it from a specialist
Fine, but how should I get the data from the hard drive? Can I just connect it to another PC via USB or something?
Yes with an adapter, or install it directly into the PC.
Do you mean 'adapter' a housing?
When I connect the laptop to the power adapter, there's a very low beep in the area of the connection.
And the lamp for charging also glows orange.
What could that mean?
That there's a faulty voltage.
That sounds encouraging.
I would advise you too. And sooner, because things are important. To the problem itself: sounds like the good piece has a motherboard damage. Maybe turn to Medion with confidence, maybe they'll be more accommodating than expected. BtW: Backups on USB sticks or something are really great.
Nice. Unless you can get the device on goodwill (you will still have to back up your data, sry), it is in the bucket. There's something wrong with the power supply on the mainboard.
If you remove the plate, you can continue to use it (because a new device has one in it) as an external one (I do this with my older plates), so you need a housing: https://www.alternate.de/ICY-BOX/IB-233U3-B-Laufwerksgeh%C3%A4use/html/product/1280283?
There are also cheaper ones, I use this because it has emerged as a good solution between price / performance.
I really have to get used to backups on external hard drives. However, I do not necessarily expect my laptop or PC to give up after two years and two weeks after the guarantee.
I already handed it over to a local technician on Monday and said that in the event of "total damage" at least the hard drives (HDD and SSD) should be saved.
And how does the motherboard damage come about?
It is always difficult to say. Can be caused by a fault in the power supply unit, which creates a voltage spike that kills the board. But their possibilities… Are varied.
