MEDiS - Mobile Education Device Service
MEDiS (Mobile Education Device Service) is a free service provided by the Bielefeld IT Service Center that allows students at Bielefeld University to configure their mobile devices (notebooks, smartphones) to use the IT services offered by the university. Be it in case of error or data recovery.
Data gone? The screen stays black? Confusing error messages appear?
In all these cases MEDiS can help. No matter if laptop, hard disk, USB stick or SD card - by using special software it is possible to recover data that was thought to be lost. Data recovery from defective storage media is also possible in many cases.
The operating system "spins" or does not start at all?
MEDiS can help here as well. Defective hardware components can be identified by a comprehensive hardware analysis. If the operating system is merely malfunctioning, a data backup is created and the system is repaired or reinstalled.
As an additional service, the virus protection "Sophos Anti Virus" and the university's WLAN are installed and configured.
