This page sets out the repairs, upgrades and data recovery we carry out on the Medion Akoya S15449, with notes on what tends to go wrong and what can and cannot be upgraded. The Medion Akoya S15449 is a 2022 laptop with a 15.6-inch screen. Both the drive and, on most configurations, the memory can be upgraded, which makes it a good candidate for a refresh.

What we repair on the Medion Akoya S15449
Screen replacement
We replace the 15.6-inch panel like-for-like, matching resolution and connector to the part number on the original.
Price confirmed before work starts
Charging port and power repair
Depending on the configuration this charges through a round socket, USB-C or both. We test the adapter, the port and the charging circuit to find which has failed.
SSD and storage upgrade
The Medion Akoya S15449 has an M.2 slot and, on some configurations, a 2.5-inch bay. Machines that shipped with a hard drive are much faster once moved to an SSD.
Price confirmed before work starts
Memory upgrade
Most configurations of the Medion Akoya S15449 have SODIMM memory slots, so memory can be increased. We check what is fitted and the maximum the board supports.
Windows repair and reinstall
The Medion Akoya S15449 shipped with Windows 11. We repair start-up faults, reinstall Windows cleanly with your files kept, and remove malware.
Battery replacement
The battery is internal and held by screws. We fit a new one, then calibrate and test it under load. On a 2022 machine a worn battery is the likely cause of short runtime, and we measure its capacity before recommending anything else.
Price confirmed before work starts
We also carry out keyboard and trackpad repair, motherboard repair, liquid damage repair, overheating and fan repair, hinge and casing repair, virus removal on the Medion Akoya S15449, along with USB, HDMI and audio port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement, webcam and speaker faults, BIOS password removal with proof of ownership and data transfer to a new machine.
Notes from the workshop
- Medion laptops are sold through UK supermarkets and online. The MD number on the base label identifies the exact build.
- Many Erazer gaming models are built on chassis shared with other brands, which helps with parts.
Data recovery from the Medion Akoya S15449
The SSD in the Medion Akoya S15449 can be removed and imaged on our own equipment, so files can usually be recovered even when the machine will not start. Recent Windows machines often have device encryption or BitLocker switched on. If so we will need the recovery key, which is normally saved in your Microsoft account.
