MSI Prestige 14 A10SC: Mijn laptop gaat niet aan.

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 09:53:30 -0700

Mijn laptop werkte alleen met de oplader. Ik heb dan paar maanden geleden aan media markt laten maken. Ze zeiden dat er probleem was met batterij, moederbord en de koeling.
Batterij was niet meer onder garantie dus ik had ze gezegd dat ze alleen de onderdelen moeten maken die onder garantie vallen. Ik heb mijn laptop dan terug gekregen, Ik ben dom geweest om niet in de winkel te checken. Wanneer ik thuis kwam en ik heb het getest, wilde mijn computer helemaal niet aangaan.
Ik heb dan aan mediamarkt gevraagd en ze zeiden dat ze alleen de moederbord hebben vervangen, geen koeling.
Ik heb dan zelf batterij vervangen maar het gaat nog steeds niet aan. Wat kan er fout gaan?

Ik kan niet meer aan mediamarkt laten doen want ik had zelf al mijn computer opegedaan om de batterij te vervangen.
Wat zou het probleem zijn? De batterij licht staat aan. Als ik ze laat opladen voor paar uren, gaat die dicht. Ik zie helemaal niets op de scherm.
Voor dat ik het liet repareren, werkte het nog. Ze hebben het nog meer kapot gemaakt.
Laat me aub weten hoe ik deze zou kunnen fixen.

MSI Laptop: Laptop boots into standby mode, no video

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 06:16:34 -0700

MSI CR700X

It's a really old model that has been sitting on a shelf for ages. 2 years ago I briefly tested it and it booted, but had some graphics freezing issue which is why it went back on the shelf.

Today, pressing the power button results in the following behavior:

Fan spins up
Standby (moon symbol) status LED glows
Disk (cylinder symbil) status LED glows continuously
I can toggle the wireless LAN status LED (antenna symbol) by pressing a button with the same symbol that sits in a group of buttons next to the power button.
Screen stays off, no backlight.

I have performed a bunch of troubleshooting:

Replaced CMOS battery
Hard reset: Remove battery and charger and hold power button for 60 seconds, repeated a bunch of times
unplugged various components such as hard drive, disk reader, RAM, fans, and CPU to see what happens
Use an external monitor (no signal)

None of these resulted in any change of behavior, save for unplugging the fan resulting in the fan no longer spinning up (duh).

Now the obvious answer is probably that i'm cooked. The graphics chip is probably fried; or it's some other equally awful unfixable thing ruining my day.

But I am filled with hubris, and I'd really like to get this board to work again. If the graphics chip really is irreparably fried, how come the machine booted fine 2 years ago? It couldn't have overheated while sitting unplugged on a shelf!

Do you have any other reasonable or unreasonable guesses as to what's wrong and what else i could try? Is there maybe a way I could at least salvage this motherboard for headless use?

I wanna figure this out, like, at this point it's personal!

MSI: My keyboard doesn't work properly

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 19:14:35 -0700

My keyboard doesn't work as it should, some pads don't work/turn off, like the Q, W, E, R, V, B, N, M, F1, F2. F3. F6. F7. ENTER keys and some more, the driver I've updated, even updated it manually, does this problem come from the hardware?

I want to take it to a service center but I don't really understand the problem with my keyboard and I'm afraid I don't know what's wrong and I'm being cheated, what are the problems that often occur and what's the solution?

This is my device, MSI Modern A11SB "2022"

Bios : E1552IMS.111

Additionally, I have a problem with my driver graphic card, it can't update the new version how safe solution i can do?

MSI GF63: Power button IC part identification

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 12:57:34 -0700

I have an MSI GF63 Thin Gaming Laptop, 15.6" FHD 144Hz, Intel i5-11400H, RTX 3050, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD. The laptop won't power on at all.

I live in South Africa and my local authorized MSI Repair Center was unable to help me (they quoted a whole board swap, which was more than the price of the laptop), and MSI Forums haven't been any help, but I had a private technician diagnose the problem. The part that failed is the IC near the power button, and I need to know the specs for the part so that I can buy a replacement. The laptop is out of warranty so I want to do the repair myself. I cannot find any serial number or manufacturer for the IC in question, all I know is that it is a 6-pin, 12V IC. Can anyone provide me with information on the type of IC needed, manufacturer/serial number and specs? I would be very appreciative for any assistance or advice! An image of the part in question is attached if needed, the part at MH1 Q5 on the board.

Thanks in advance!
