    Hello everybody. on my laptop after the video card burnt out, the touch hot-start buttons and keyboard backlighting resumed working. reinstalling windows and drivers did not work.
    can anyone have an updated BIOS and an ec for this laptop. can someone know what the problem is ?.

    my current bios is E16F4IG6.517
    EC Firmware is 16F4EG62 ver 7.15

    can i flash a bios from MSI GT60 ?

    You can't flash a MSI-branded BIOS since the PCB isn't the same.
    Latest BIOS: E16F4IG6.51D (yours is outdated)
    Latest EC: 16F4EG62 ver 7.15 (yours is up-to-date)

    Are you sure you cannot flash MSI bios to a whitebook? I'm pretty sure you can as I've already done it several times (Medion erazers X78xx or X68xx were MSI GT60/70 wb).
    Although you do not want to flash EC firmware as the touchbar is not the same as the genuine MSI one.

    Medion did not release 15-inch laptops on the Haswell, 6825 is ivy bridge. next generation is 17 inch laptops on haswell.
