    I'm not sure what you're saying. But this BIOS is the one my 16F3 came with, all I did was unlock the options.

    You can save your BIOS by using the "afudos mybios.rom /o" command.

    My guess is that it would work, but I don't know for sure.

    Please post a copy of your BIOS when you get a chance.

    Disable the "Full Screen Logo Display" option under the boot tab.

    You flashed the GT60 BIOS onto your 16F3?

    Do all of the USB ports and everything else work correctly?

    I don't know if mine will work on your laptop. I tried flashing your BIOS onto my 16F3 and I got a message saying the ID's weren't compatible.

    I don't know if the GT60 BIOS will work on your laptop either.

    I did go through and unlock all of the options in the BIOS you posted though.

    It's the same BIOS, just with everything unlocked (use at your own risk):

    I think your laptop is technically a version of the 16F3; based on the pictures and the BIOS.

    Medion probably had to make some changes to the BIOS to get the LED's on the front to work.

    I didn't change whether any of the options were enabled, I just made it so you can see options that were previously hidden.

    You need a tool called AMIBCP version 4.53 (or higher).

    Then open the bios with that tool and change the "access/use" to "user" for every setting you want unlocked and also the parent menu of that setting.

    Make a bootable DOS USB disk, then put the BIOS files on it along with AFUDOS.exe.

    To perform the flash, use "afudos mybios.rom /P /B /N".

    Can you post a copy of your BIOS?
