Hallo, ich habe im letzten Jahr in Deutschland einen refurbished G7 PT 7945 gekauft. Den Shop gibt es wegen Insolvenz leider nicht mehr.

Seit einer Woche gehen bei dem Gerät die LEDs an und ein Lüfter dreht mit voller Leistung, der andere macht nichts. Ich habe schon den RAM getauscht, die SSD und einen BIOS Reset durchgeführt, alles ohne Erfolg und so langsam gehe ich von einem Hardware Fehler aus.

Gereinigt habe ich die Lüfter auch.

Da der Shop nicht mehr existiert, kann ich mich dort nicht wegen einer Garantie melden. Das Gerät wurde erst im Juli 2024 auf dem Markt gebracht, habe ich dadurch noch einen Garantieanspruch vom Hersteller selbst?

Ich verzweifel gerade ein wenig. Minisforum habe ich schon vor einigen Tagen über die Supportseite angeschrieben aber bisher keine Antwort erhalten.

Hello, I bought a refurbished G7 PT 7945 in Germany last year. Unfortunately, the shop no longer exists due to insolvency.

For about a week now, when I turn on the device, the LEDs light up and one fan runs at full speed, while the other does nothing. I have already replaced the RAM and the SSD, and performed a BIOS reset, all without success. At this point, I’m starting to assume it’s a hardware failure.

I have also cleaned the fans.

Since the shop no longer exists, I can’t contact them regarding the warranty. The device was only released in July 2024—do I still have a warranty claim with the manufacturer?

I’m starting to get quite desperate. I contacted Minisforum via their support page a few days ago, but haven’t received a response yet.

Methinks it would be an awesome idea.
MinisForum was always aiming for bang/buck ratio, and given that China has cheaper domestic RAM, this could be genuis move.

I understand there are restrictions for RAM export, but bundle would be exactly "what doctor ordered".

Yes, Chinese DDR5 can't match western leading edge, but Minisforum's MoDTs never requested those. Even newest BD955i should work perfectly fine with 6000-6400MHz DIMMs.

Any chance to see something like that ?

Oh yes - I understand that China also has domestic dGPUs now. If they are cheap, any chance to see any of those in the bundle, too ?

Even if they are not stellar for gaming, many would use them mostly for GPU compute and to take off the load of display refresh off the main CPU.🙄

Is decent website so hard now in 2026 ?

1. Why is there no parametric tree and search and compare within tree ?

2. Why are sections such a mishmash ? For example, why is there no section "motherboards with CPU" ? Why are those all under "Desk Mini" ?

3. Content depends on user IP. In the world of VPN use, this is dumb, especially since user is never informed about this ?

4. Depending on his IP get section "Refurbished", in others not. But even when there is refurbished option, I can't get the list of available products. I had to Google it to get the URL MINISFORUM REFURBISHED. WTF ?

5. There are plenty of prducts that are being sold, but missing from Minisforum's page. Like BD895i SE, which is sold worldswide, but only thign I can find on minisforum.com is old BD795i SE. WTF ?

6. Why no heads-up on upcoming products ? Why do I have to Google around to find info on BD955i SE (mini-ITX with 9955HX/HX3D), but it's not on Minisforum's page under "news" or something ?
