After 3 years of constant use I shut down my laptop one night, I came back from a truck route 2 days later and found no response from power. Unit was left plugged in. I removed the battery and did the power purge as you said, i had to hold the chassis power 15 seconds and then got a board response. After no video I cycled again, booted. Thank you very much, I would not have considered this as a procedure.
@@RickJames89 I'm sad to say that the issue did pop up a few more times and eventually none of the fixes worked. I retired the laptop after 13000 hours of service
My laptop is always different... Even tutorials with 95% succes rate always don't help and well, this didn't aswell, thank you anyways and I'm glad it worked for others.
Sorry this didn't work for you. It most likely isn't because it's different but because something else happened. if it's not a a power flush or new battery or new charger, it could be the DC jack or the motherboard needs reflow or repair. Some of these solutions may require a laptop repair expert. I hope you find resolution soon.
@@amosfeldman9454 it was out of battery lmao, the cable was either broken or gotten so weak it couldnt charge the computer fast enough, I noticed in past month its charging very slowly, now im answering your comment from the same laptop and with a new charge cable
Worked for me too! It was such a tiny hole and the icon above it was so small I would have never found if i didn’t know to look for it. Thank you. I found your solution pretty quickly so you saved me a lot of time, stress (I need my laptop working now for school), and money. It’s awesome how you reply to everyone’s questions with sound advice! Thank you!!!
Thanks so much for your kind words and glad it was helpful. I definitely will try to respond to every single comment/question. Unless it's something I don't think I should reply to.
Followed your instructions exactly and this fixed the issue! Opened the thing up to upgrade the RAM, I was afraid I’d somehow toasted the motherboard or the RAM. Thank you!
Did not work for me, but the fact that you respond to so many and helped so many gets a like and sub from me. I can still hear the computer working and can even hear it boot up after I type my password, but the screen stays dark throughout. It initially turned off when I just tilted the screen back. It was very sensitive to having the screen moved. In fact if I get it to work again I'm not closing the screen or even touching the screen again. Not sure if that gives a clue as to what's wrong with it or not.
Thank you for your kind words, talking time to comment and your details definitely tell me what's wrong. The issue is your screen. The cable or screen inverter is damaged. Your video cable is most likely getting pinched as you tilt the screen. I bet if you put a little pressure on different parts along the bottom of the screen you will notice the screen light up and go dark. That confirms where the issue is but I can pretty much guarantee you need a new screen which they normally come with a new inverter board and cable. You could plug an external monitor in and you'll see everything working fine.
Thank you so much! My RAM controller went into protection and the laptop refused to start without a bios reset. I thought I'd have to completely disassemble it, but this video saved me
Hey Daniel! Thank You, My Laptop turned on, However I didn't have to unscrew the laptop itself neither take out the battery, I just did the 60 second hold like you said and put in the charger, then it turned on and works fine! Appreciate it man, Thank You 😊👍🏼
@HafizAbdurRahmanSattar...that worked for me as well. I'm glad I saw ur comment, I wasn't about to unscrew anything. 😂🤣😅 Especially since my BestBuy warranty is still active.
THANKS A BUNCH! I was worried because i just bought my laptop and it won’t turn on. The 60 seconds thing worked like a charm. I’m sooo happy! Thank you ❤️
^^ Another satisfied viewer! My MSI GE76 somehow turned itself on inside my backpack and I was convinced that it fried components because it was HOT!! I followed your instructions to reset the battery (without unplugging) and I'm back up and running! ❤ THANKS! ❤
Daniel, you're a star. Computer is working like a charm again, brilliant video. In my case, I only had to do the 60 sec thing (thanks for the comment that mentioned that) and that made the trick. Thanks so much!
My MSI GF75 died on me while at the library, first time in about three years. Tried disconnecting the battery and hooked the power up and it booted. Re-connected the battery and it appears all systems go for now. Thank you for this great tip!!!
For some people it's a permanent fix, but if continues to be required, there is an underlying issue that should be addressed and will require troubleshooting
Thanks and sorry it didn't work. If you can't power up to get to the BIOS, you can't flash the BIOS. Also, flashing the BIOS won't fix that type of issue.
I believe I answered this a couple times already in past comments. Maybe it's worth making a video about it. You can review the other comments but its' basically a power blockage needing to be flushed.
Thanks for your question. Although this video specifies MSI it's good for all makes and models of laptops. The only difference is many laptops with many different ways of accessing the battery and some have a pin hole to reset the power on the bottom of the laptop.
Sir help me, my laptop wont turn on I've tried tye process you have mentioned but its not working. I've tried also removing cmos battery and insert it again but not working again. Any idea? Thank you
I had my RAM upgraded earlier today, it worked fine for a few hours but suddenly crashed and won't turn on again... any tips before I bring it to a professional?
You could be on to something there. Sounds like it's possibly a ram issue and you either got bad RAM or the wrong type. make sure if you upgrade it is compatible. you can run a memory test as well which I have a video on.
I have an MSI Laptop MS 1792 which I use for large panorama photo editing. I also have an Acer Predator for the same purpose, with 8K video output from HDMI port. I recently decided to remove the battery from the Predator and run it from the power supply which came with it. It runs fine. I use both laptops with large, external TV screens and have the laptop screens turned off. I disconnected the battery from the MSI laptop, and it ran for a while on the provided power supply. After several minutes, I got a low(12%) battery message. Since then, it will not turn on. Help!
Thanks for your comment. This is very odd and doesn't make sense. Not sure why you'd leave the battery out to begin with, but regardless, this doesn't make sense and I don't troubleshoot in chats. You'd need a local tech to look at it and determine what is wrong.
Thanks a lot!! Had it with Creator P75. Did the 1 minute button hold and then let it recharge for a while. *It didn’t go back up straight ahead, had to give it 15sec hold on power couple of times.
UPDATE: After trying everything below, I took apart the laptop, removed all the old thermal paste, cleaned everything (even fans and fan housing), applied new, fresh thermal pads and thermal paste to CPU, GPU and all other parts that previously had thermal paste. Placed a single stick of RAM in the laptop, and closed it up. upon connecting power and rebooting, the MSI logo came up and the laptop is now working. I've been able to use a new storage device and download all drivers and software and everything is working great - no issues. My MSI laptop power light flashes white briefly and then just turns orange. The keyboard doesn't light up, but the fans are working and pressing the fans button they go even stronger. Nonetheless, the screen stays dark and never comes up. I have tried resetting bios settings via the pinhole / switch and also holding down power 60 seconds with battery removed and with battery in... so far nothing. Also, any link to a completed disassembly of the MSI 65 laptop?
Thanks for taking time to write. Sounds like you're comfortable diving deep here. Normally you don't need to tear apart the laptop for all that you did. Normally if this issue isn't fixed by what is shown in this video, it means something maybe wrong with the motherboard which needs either reflowing, some chips replaced or entire motherboard replaced.
This was very helpful and worked. I didnt need to open up the laptop. Unplugged the power cord, held down the power button for 60 seconds, replugged the power chord, waited a few seconds and pressed power button. Cheers for your help.
If you tried as suggested in the video and tried without battery with adapter plugged in. Maybe it's the power adapter or else is needing a motherboard repair/replacement possibly.
Thank you very much! I've had to do this twice on my wife's MSI - the second time I did it in 5 minutes or so. Any idea what causes this? I'd hate to have to do this every two or three months...
You're welcome. This is a problem if you have to do it every so often. That's a sign there's an issue with the motherboard. you could pay to have the motherboard repaired or replaced, or see how long you can string it along doing this simple fix every few months or so.
You're welcome. It sounds like maybe a bad charging port or general issue with the motherboard that needs to be reflowed. If you like the laptop and fast enough, it's worth it to get the motherboard repaired by your local repair shop.
You're welcome. if you have to do this several times, especially daily, that means there maybe some sort of issue with the power flow. May not be anything to do with the battery or power adapter. It maybe the motherboard that has some sort of issues that needs to be looked at.
Im trying following the methods but didn't work, but my led msi battery( below trackpad) flashing yellow color, so probably I need replacement for my battery?
You're welcome. Glad it worked for you. Excellent question. the simplest answer I have is dirty power or issues with motherboard not allowing proper flow.
This sounds like a faulty motherboard. You could try a new battery but could be wasted money if it doesn't work. Better to get it professionally diagnosed and if its' not the battery you won't be stuck with buying one. Just make sure they guarantee results if not the battery, they can take it back and fix the motherboard.
Hi I bought a new battery and I installed it in the my laptop but, unfortunately the issue still persists. I will try to find a computer store to check what exactly the issue. Thank you
MSI GE68 Apache here. My laptop won't turn on or show signs of life at all. I have used multimeter to test key components. I get around 3.6-4.5 volts off the motherboard plug that connects to the battery with the DC charger connected into the jack. Wondering why it wont turn on if it appears to be charging through motherboard properly.
My laptop cannot turn on by pressing the power unit. I have to spam the power unit to turn on my laptop. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to turn on my laptop. I don't know if it is because of the power button issue or the battery.😢
Sorry I no longer have that laptop in my possession but it shouldn't mater. All makes/models can work with this trick. Although it's not a guaranteed fix, it works alot of the time.
@@Syntxnic You can use anything thin enough like a guitar pick and plastic. Ideally you don't want anything metal because it can short circuit something you might touch inside without knowing it.
It didnt work for me, I have a gs63vr, it overheated and turned off, tried this method but didnt work, when I put the charger not even the charging lights turn on, do you know what it could be?
Thanks for your question, and your answer maybe in your question. you said it overheated, that means either fans are not working properly or at all. Maybe alot of dust build up you need compressed air and open the laptop to clean the fans and heat vents. Maybe a cooling pad is required if you are in a warm room. Laptops need to run cooler.
@@TwinBytesInc thanks for the quick response, the pc is not turning on anymore, I thought it was de power adapter and tried with one that shows if it's working and it turns off as soon as I conect it to the pc, so i'll just go to repair it, thanks for the help
Hi I just replaced the ram on my MSI GL65 leopard laptop, I followed your instructions regarding draining the battery I put it back together and it just shows the charging light but it will not turn on. The fans are working but the screen is not starting up
It seems it's from the new ram I purchased, it boots up after I put in the original ram. Can you recommend to me a compatible memory for my MSI GL65 Leopard? I want to upgrade it from 16gb to 32gb. I am not that tech-savvy, and I would really appreciate it
you can use this website is great! www.crucial.com/store/advisor I did a video on it years ago but it changed alot. Time for a new video. You can enter your computer info to search or use the system scanner. Alternatively find the manual for your exact system.
basically it's usually either the battery, power adapter, the outlet it's plugged into or the motherboard. Unless it is turning on but the screen is dead. Small chance of bad memory as well but that usually will make a beeping sound. A bad drive would still show you something on the screen.
Hi! I tried it and it didn't work because the problem was not the laptop's battery! Instead it was something more silly: The interlock cable of the charger was broke, so I changed it and now the notebook works. I put this to also give another solution, maybe it's not your notebook but your charger
I can't fix BIOS issues remotely or over the phone or by chat. they are all different so step by step instructions vary. The manufacturers website should have instructions with links to latest BIOS upgrades if any available. If it's just a boot loop, Windows may simply need a repair/reinstall. but also could be a bad hard drive which means testing the hard drive with a bootable USB or removing the drive and testing on another computer. Too much to get into here.
Could be a special Torx screw that you need to get that particular screw driver. They do this on purpose to make it harder for non technical people to fix themselves without owning a full set of tools.
Mr Gauthier it doesn't work for me I have an msi gp73 it was shut down I thought it was a light cut off but no after that I tried to turn it on nothing it doesn't work I did I tooked restart the bios with the flash boton. I had a problem with the battery before sometimes charge and sometimes no but now it doesn't turn on at all and even putting the adapter the light of charging is not turning on. What should I do in this case please... I'm studying and working with the laptop every day I don't know what to do...
Thank you for your question. It's possible the charger is dead and needs replacing. If you can borrow someone's to try it and find out, maybe you just need to buy a new charger. If not, that maybe a motherboard repair that you require.
Sirr, I want to ask that my laptop is msi gf63 thin 9rcx, the problem is that he can't turn on the laptop without the help of a charger, but if the charger is unplugged after that, the normal laptop doesn't turn off, it's just that if you turn on the laptop at the beginning you have to be assisted with a charger, what's wrong 🙏🏻
That's very strange, I don't think I've seen that before. It sounds like there is something wrong with the battery that it can't have enough charge to boot the laptop, but it can hold a charge to keep it going after it is started. I am only guessing at this point, but sounds like the problem is the battery. If not the battery, it's a motherboard issue that needs repairing.
Why this issue is occurring mine was dell g15 , i tried your method just removed battery and repluged and it works. But why this is happening in the first place??
Glad it's working for you now. the issue is basically to do with bad power flow. This trick flushes the power and allows a fresh flow of new power. Could be bad wiring in the computer, could be the outlet your plugged into, or just temporarily "Dirty power" came through.
@@TwinBytesInc do you know how to prevent it happening again, it happened 4 four times for me I asked service they said motherboard problem and changing it
For my laptop it has power and I see the hard drive indicator on. Just no display. No MSI logo. I've removed the battery and pressed the power button for a long time but no luck. RAM sticks are ok I've taken out one at a time. Hard drive also ok I connected it to another PC and can access it. I even pin the little EC hole for 30 sec but also no luck. Also no luck using external monitor. Should I try replace the CMOS battery that connected to the board?
If this video doesn't work, there could be a number of different things to try which I don't troubleshoot in chat as it can be very time consuming for free.
thanks for the video, my MSI laptop turns on (power light on) but it doesnt boot up or show anything on the screen, and after a few seconds, the computer turns off... it happens sometimes, specially in cold days or when i take it to coldest places , what could it be? thanks
That sounds a little strange. normally cold is good, not too cold but heat is a killer and make the fans work harder. Can't be overheating which is what it sounded like, but if in a cold environment it's worse? I don't think I heard of this before. Someone needs to look at it. Maybe it's just a coincidence about the temperature.
So i was working and suddenly my laptop turned blue, showed an error and shut off. Then i tried booting but the screen never lit up. The power button light kept glowing but not the screen. Then i switched it off and kept it on rest. After 30 mins i tried switching on again but this time, nothing would glow. I then plugged in the charger and the entire keyboard would light up and the laptop slowly heated up without the screen turning on. I don't know what's happening. Do you know what this problem is?
Although I can't troubleshoot here, if it's heating up with nothing on the screen, there is an issue with the power flow and it could be a bad battery, bad charging port (The DC Jack) or possibly the power adapter. You'd have to probably have someone open it up and look at it.
Thanks for the sub and glad I could help. That noise could be the root cause of the issue. You'd have to try to isolate the noise to see if it's the hard drive or a fan. You'd have to open the laptop up, remove the drive and check it externally and look at the fans if spinning freely. You might need a repair shop.
This can work with all makes and models of all years. It's not always the solution but certainly is something free you can try yourself before paying anyway. But if it's under warranty still, there is a chance that you could lose your warranty coverage opening the computer.
Didn’t work for me did exactly as video said put it back together plugged in power and middle blue light came on in the front but pushed button to turn on and nothing left it plugged in checked on it later and the middle blue light was off and now it seems completely dead , is the battery completely dead is this why ? Will it turn on with just the power adapter if i leave the battery out on these msi models that have an internal battery
Sorry this fix doesn't work every time but most of the time. Definitely if you leave the battery out, you can try powering on with just the power cord to determine if the battery is an issue. if doesn't work still, maybe issue with motherboard needs repairs.
I am using a msi modern 14 B5M laptop... When i plugged in the charger it is showing charging but not increasing the percentage... Please help to fix this problem.... I always plug in when i am playing games
I don't troubleshoot here but try to give quick free advice when possible. Maybe bad battery but you'd need to try with a new one and then you're stuck with the new battery if doesn't help. you'd have to pay someone at least that much to troubleshoot anyway. Might be easier to pay for proper diagnostic. I can't troubleshoot this without seeing it.
Anything slim and firm to slide inside, but not too far and damage components. Also I avoid metal so not to make contact between components and fry something. I like plastic which a guitar pic works perfectly. Even if you are not a guitar player, computer stores sell tools that include guitar pic shaped wedges. Or you can go to a music store and they offer free pics to customers. I don't recommend walking into a music store to get a free guitar pic, that's kinda bad, but whatever you gotta do I guess. :)
The type of screws seem to change sometimes from model to model and year to year but generally I use a standard phillips screw driver. The smaller of the two standard sizes that come in any set. I don't know the size number.
my msi shows that it’s charging. the only light that shows up is the blue charging light. but the actual keyboard and laptop don’t light up. is that the same problem as this or is it something different since my charger light is still lighting up?
This definitely can be the same problem. It's an issue with power flow. Could be a simple fix like this video, new battery, new power adapter or maybe motherboard repair is required. Something blocking power flow.
Hey man can you help me? Im MSI GL62M 7rd. Power button is lid but monitor keep blank. Before that, I was doing monthly routine cleaning my laptop, and there was a button at the motherboard written SW3. Out of curiosity I pressed it. Then my laptop just blank forever (can't bios). Tried your 60 sec trick still no work. Help is appreciated, thanks
I don't know what would have happened now. Even I wouldn't have pressed that button. it's something you need to really know what it is before messing with it. It's some sort of interrupt button according to a quick Google search, but in most cases we never have to touch any buttons on the motherboard. You'll need to lookup this button in the user manual. Or take to your local expert.
Thank you very much after i upgraded the ram to 64gb the laptop msi gs75 wont turn on i thought ow no what is this. Because i knew i did not do anything wrong. Thanks this helped me alot.
If this video didn't help and the whole in the bottom didn't do it either, then maybe a new power adapter if not bringing power in. Otherwise most likely motherboard needs repair or replacement.
Hello daniel, I have the same Msi laptop. I have been facing black screen issue the laptop & backlit turns on but the caps lock doesn't turn on & the screen is also black. Any suggestions or any kind of help will be appreciated. Thankyou!!
If this solution doesn't work, sounds like it's not the screen either if caps lock not lighting up either. Could be power adapter, battery or motherboard needs a repair.
Sounds like more of a hardware problem. Try removing all memory and see how it responds. Maybe bad memory. I wouldn't expect a bad hard drive for this to happen. Otherwise, something else with motherboard maybe going on if this video didn't solve it.
Hello, if this is a repeating issue, there is a problem with power flowing through the motherboard. So the motherboard would need to be either repaired or replaced.
I tried this multiple times. It actually works now and then. I noticed a blue light blinking in the area of the battery indicator whenever I pressed the button. So I replaced the battery and it worked worked few days. Once I forgot to charge it before the battery goes off and the same problem has started again. I have a msi gl63 8rd. I got a multimeter to track the power flow and i notice that 19.8v is completely delivered to the mother board and about 3v to the battery side for charging. But I do not notice the battery charging when plugged in. Could you please give me a suggestion? Is the motherboard at fault? Currently it's not working at all inspite of doing this procedure multiple times.
@@TwinBytesInc thank you for your suggestion. But doesn't it also mean the laptop should work without the battery? I am facing issues on both the cases.
@@TwinBytesInc to provide a clearer picture. The laptop did not turn on at all after I noticed that the first battery was at fault. Once I replaced the battery, with a new one, it actually started to work even without the battery. But for about one week or 10 days I did not operate the laptop, before fixing the new battery. Now, after working for few days, the laptop battery died due to not charging, as I did not plug it in. Notice that the charging worked perfectly fine while I was using the laptop. Now, out of nowhere it does not work at all, like the old times. This is the scenario.
Sounds like motherboard issue of some sort. I can't troubleshoot here further. Someone needs to look at it to confirm. You've already isolated the issue it sounds like.
heyy so i have an msi gf63. i used it until the battery goes 0%, plugged it in and turned it on then it was up for 5 seconds before it shut down for no reason and won't turn on even with the cable. this did not work for me unfortunately, but i'm glad it worked for other people. i'm never going to buy an msi pc ever again lol
I personally don't recommend MSI but at the same time, this issue can happen with any brand. MSI has made some good computers. I always say, you could buy the top of the line product and it dies a week later, or you could buy absolute garbage with bad reviews and it lasts forever and works great!
I have MSI GT72S-6QD which has light when I plugged in but it won't power on. I tried resetting the battery with your video but still it has same problem. What could I do? Thanks for your video.
You're welcome and to answer your question, it could be the battery is completely dead and the power adapter isn't working and needs replacing. It's also possible it's a motherboard issues and needs reflowing or a DC jack replacement. Needs to be looked at.
@@TwinBytesInc I tried to check the voltage of the charger and power socket which they were ok. I could find the voltage on the motherboard (19v). I am not professional but I have tried to check. I think that this is motherboard issue. But should I try it with new battery? Thanks for your réponse.
If the computer works with the power adapter and no battery, then it's just the battery, but if it doesn't work even with power adapter, it's either the adapter, DC Jack, or motherboard. up to you how far you want to try yourself.
@@TwinBytesIncNo light no power up when I tried without battery. There is a light with battery and charger but no power up. I checked the voltage on the power socket and found 19V. There is a 19V on the circuits of the motherboard. I think that I have to diagnose deeply after watching a lots of videos :-). I am really appreciate about your answers and guide. Thanks.
Glad it worked. Don't worry too much. These things I've seen happen over the years and usually never repeated that I'm aware of. In some cases it can repeat, then we just deal with it at that time. For now, you're working and most likely will continue to be fine for the life of that laptop.
You don't need any tool to separate the bottom on an MSI laptop except for the screwdriver. I was easily able to pull the bottom of mine off by sliding my fingernail along the split and lifting up. Most laptops are not that easy, they'll have screws hidden under the keyboard, they'll have spots holding the bottom on, and sometimes you can't even get inside without breaking the case entirely.
Yes, there are so many variations to how the laptops are built, so instructions very greatly. You can just go by how MSI works, you'd have to look for the specific model of MIS, but for how TH-cam works, I can't do every single model. :)
Didnt work for me :/ tried the taking out the battery holding the button for a min then putting the battery back in all i gey is a blue light for powering on but nothing else and then it just shuts back off then i tried it again with only the power adpater and when i do that the keybored lights up and i can hear the fans moving lightly but thats it not sure whats wrong its weird cause it was working just fine before then i got a bluescreen and since then its just been doing this :/
It's possible the fans are not working and it's overheating causing it to shut off soon as you try to turn it on. This solution in this video is mainly for if it doesn't even try turning on.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for the Super Thanks!
After 3 years of constant use I shut down my laptop one night, I came back from a truck route 2 days later and found no response from power. Unit was left plugged in.

Thank you for your kind words, talking time to comment and your details definitely tell me what's wrong.
The issue is your screen. The cable or screen inverter is damaged. Your video cable is most likely getting pinched as you tilt the screen. I bet if you put a little pressure on different parts along the bottom of the screen you will notice the screen light up and go dark. That confirms where the issue is but I can pretty much guarantee you need a new screen which they normally come with a new inverter board and cable.
You could plug an external monitor in and you'll see everything working fine.
Worked great! I didn't have to remove the battery, just the 60second power button press did the trick. Thanks a bunch!

THANKS A BUNCH! I was worried because i just bought my laptop and it won’t turn on. The 60 seconds thing worked like a charm. I’m sooo happy! Thank you ❤️
You're welcome! That's great to hear.
Thanks so much, went through at least 20 different tutorials before this one, which actually helped
Glad it helped! Thanks for taking time to comment.
It worked! You’re the man. Thanks for posting this.
Awesome! Thanks for taking time to reply.
^^ Another satisfied viewer!
My MSI GE76 somehow turned itself on inside my backpack and I was convinced that it fried components because it was HOT!! I followed your instructions to reset the battery (without unplugging) and I'm back up and running!
❤ THANKS! ❤
That's awesome! One of my favorite comments.
Youre a lifesaver, the first one about unplug the power source 😭😭😭🙏🏻💕💕💕 THANK YOU SO MUCH! I APPRECIATE YOU!
Thank you so much for your kind words, and you're very welcome.
Daniel, you're a star. Computer is working like a charm again, brilliant video. In my case, I only had to do the 60 sec thing (thanks for the comment that mentioned that) and that made the trick. Thanks so much!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the kind words.
My MSI GF75 died on me while at the library, first time in about three years. Tried disconnecting the battery and hooked the power up and it booted. Re-connected the battery and it appears all systems go for now. Thank you for this great tip!!!
Glad it worked for you. Thanks for taking time to comment.
I'm picking one up tomorrow with a power problem. I hope this is the fix. I'll keep you posted. Great video regardless if it worked for me
thanks man it worked
i use that one min trick you told to do so without open whole thing and it show my laptop is charging .
Excellent! you're welcome
Hi i just want to know what model is this im doing a research about it
didnt have to remove the battery just had to hold the power button for 60 seconds. your video literally just saved this 7 year old laptop from e-waste
Glad to help
Thank you so much you helped me i just did the 60 sec thing and it worked
Glad I could help
Thx!!! It worked like a charm!!!
Awesome! Thanks for your comment.
Will this solve the issue completely or will we have to always take the back off and do the process over and over?
For some people it's a permanent fix, but if continues to be required, there is an underlying issue that should be addressed and will require troubleshooting
i can’t believe that really worked, thank you so much !!!! 😭❤️🙏🏼
You're welcome
@@TwinBytesInc thank you man god 🙏
So great video. Thank you. Unfortunately did not work for me. Is it possible to flash the BIOS from a blank screen?
Thanks and sorry it didn't work. If you can't power up to get to the BIOS, you can't flash the BIOS. Also, flashing the BIOS won't fix that type of issue.
I followed your technique and it works fine. I solve the problem. Thanks you.
Glad it helped
Thank you Daniel!!!
Replacing a dead computer was not something I wanted to do and, thanks to you, mine responded just as you demonstrated! Wonderful!
Awesome! Glad it worked.
Thank you, this worked and saved me from panic mode!❤
You're welcome. Glad it helped.
Can you tell me what actually is the problem of this happening??
I believe I answered this a couple times already in past comments. Maybe it's worth making a video about it. You can review the other comments but its' basically a power blockage needing to be flushed.
Cannot thank you enough. Had the same problem, followed the steps and it worked!
I'm glad I could help. Taking time to comment and thumbs up is a great way to say thank you. :)
Hello, i have same problem but with other model, msi gf63 thin 9rcx, please help me
Thanks for your question. Although this video specifies MSI it's good for all makes and models of laptops. The only difference is many laptops with many different ways of accessing the battery and some have a pin hole to reset the power on the bottom of the laptop.
did u find a solution
Sir help me, my laptop wont turn on I've tried tye process you have mentioned but its not working. I've tried also removing cmos battery and insert it again but not working again. Any idea? Thank you
Sorry, aside from this video instruction, you would need someone to look at it. Maybe motherboard needs repair or replacement.
I had my RAM upgraded earlier today, it worked fine for a few hours but suddenly crashed and won't turn on again... any tips before I bring it to a professional?
You could be on to something there. Sounds like it's possibly a ram issue and you either got bad RAM or the wrong type. make sure if you upgrade it is compatible. you can run a memory test as well which I have a video on.
@TwinBytesInc I took it to a professional, and one of the two RAM sticks were faulty :/
I have an MSI Laptop MS 1792 which I use for large panorama photo editing. I also have an Acer Predator for the same purpose, with 8K video output from HDMI port. I recently decided to remove the battery from the Predator and run it from the power supply which came with it. It runs fine. I use both laptops with large, external TV screens and have the laptop screens turned off. I disconnected the battery from the MSI laptop, and it ran for a while on the provided power supply. After several minutes, I got a low(12%) battery message. Since then, it will not turn on. Help!
Thanks for your comment. This is very odd and doesn't make sense. Not sure why you'd leave the battery out to begin with, but regardless, this doesn't make sense and I don't troubleshoot in chats. You'd need a local tech to look at it and determine what is wrong.
It worked for my GS63. Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for taking time to comment.
Thanks a lot!!
Had it with Creator P75.
Did the 1 minute button hold and then let it recharge for a while.
*It didn’t go back up straight ahead, had to give it 15sec hold on power couple of times.
You're welcome. I'm glad it worked even though required more effort.
UPDATE: After trying everything below, I took apart the laptop, removed all the old thermal paste, cleaned everything (even fans and fan housing), applied new, fresh thermal pads and thermal paste to CPU, GPU and all other parts that previously had thermal paste. Placed a single stick of RAM in the laptop, and closed it up. upon connecting power and rebooting, the MSI logo came up and the laptop is now working. I've been able to use a new storage device and download all drivers and software and everything is working great - no issues.
My MSI laptop power light flashes white briefly and then just turns orange. The keyboard doesn't light up, but the fans are working and pressing the fans button they go even stronger. Nonetheless, the screen stays dark and never comes up.
I have tried resetting bios settings via the pinhole / switch and also holding down power 60 seconds with battery removed and with battery in... so far nothing.
Also, any link to a completed disassembly of the MSI 65 laptop?
Thanks for taking time to write. Sounds like you're comfortable diving deep here. Normally you don't need to tear apart the laptop for all that you did. Normally if this issue isn't fixed by what is shown in this video, it means something maybe wrong with the motherboard which needs either reflowing, some chips replaced or entire motherboard replaced.
This was very helpful and worked. I didnt need to open up the laptop. Unplugged the power cord, held down the power button for 60 seconds, replugged the power chord, waited a few seconds and pressed power button.
Cheers for your help.
Great! I'm glad to hear this.
Which model
Hello. The issue is how you describe it, but solution didn’t work. Any idea what can I do? Thank you!
If you tried as suggested in the video and tried without battery with adapter plugged in. Maybe it's the power adapter or else is needing a motherboard repair/replacement possibly.
I nearly shat myself! It's my work laptop. You saved me!
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
Thank you very much! I've had to do this twice on my wife's MSI - the second time I did it in 5 minutes or so. Any idea what causes this? I'd hate to have to do this every two or three months...
You're welcome. This is a problem if you have to do it every so often. That's a sign there's an issue with the motherboard. you could pay to have the motherboard repaired or replaced, or see how long you can string it along doing this simple fix every few months or so.
Thank you for your effort
It works at first but now doesn’t work !!
Maybe Butter need to replace or what ?!
You're welcome. It sounds like maybe a bad charging port or general issue with the motherboard that needs to be reflowed. If you like the laptop and fast enough, it's worth it to get the motherboard repaired by your local repair shop.
Thank you, from Spain. You saved me from a painful situation.
You're welcome.
Thank you very much, it worked for me. But in my case I have to do it every day, is there a definitive solution? Why is this happening? Help 😢
You're welcome. if you have to do this several times, especially daily, that means there maybe some sort of issue with the power flow. May not be anything to do with the battery or power adapter. It maybe the motherboard that has some sort of issues that needs to be looked at.
Im trying following the methods but didn't work, but my led msi battery( below trackpad) flashing yellow color, so probably I need replacement for my battery?
It could be new battery needed or charger. You could try to borrow someone's universal charger to try.
Great worked for me. Thank you, just holding the power button 20 seconds. I was wondering why this black screen happened as it's good to know why?!
You're welcome. Glad it worked for you. Excellent question. the simplest answer I have is dirty power or issues with motherboard not allowing proper flow.
Thank you. I did your steps and the laptop worked fine for a few day and the issue is back again. is there any permanent solution?
This sounds like a faulty motherboard. You could try a new battery but could be wasted money if it doesn't work. Better to get it professionally diagnosed and if its' not the battery you won't be stuck with buying one. Just make sure they guarantee results if not the battery, they can take it back and fix the motherboard.
Hi
I bought a new battery and I installed it in the my laptop but, unfortunately the issue still persists. I will try to find a computer store to check what exactly the issue.
Thank you
You're welcome
Can you make a video tutorial on how to charge an MSI laptop without charging the battery?
MSI GE68 Apache here. My laptop won't turn on or show signs of life at all. I have used multimeter to test key components. I get around 3.6-4.5 volts off the motherboard plug that connects to the battery with the DC charger connected into the jack. Wondering why it wont turn on if it appears to be charging through motherboard properly.
Worked on the Msi Gt 77 after ram setting oc. Thx so much for the great tutorial.
Glad it helped. You're welcome.
It worked! thanks a lot man.
PC: msi gf63 thin 10sc
Excellent! You're welcome
My laptop cannot turn on by pressing the power unit. I have to spam the power unit to turn on my laptop. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to turn on my laptop. I don't know if it is because of the power button issue or the battery.😢
That's hard to say without looking at it. if the button doesn't feel right, might be the physical button. Needs troubleshooting
Thank u ..I just hold the power button for 1 min and it worked
You are welcome
Hello. May I ask what laptop this is in the video specifically?
And also, I’ve done what was instructed; but no luck, sadly.
Thanks, anyways.
Sorry I no longer have that laptop in my possession but it shouldn't mater. All makes/models can work with this trick. Although it's not a guaranteed fix, it works alot of the time.
I f'n LOVE YOU. Worked like a charm
You're welcome. Glad it worked.
What did you use to pry it open because don’t have a guitar pick so what should I use
@@Syntxnic You can use anything thin enough like a guitar pick and plastic. Ideally you don't want anything metal because it can short circuit something you might touch inside without knowing it.
My msi gs65 doesn't turn on while the led light is white near power button but will turn on when it's orange any idea?
i did this and i finally see a light, but it’s just a solid blue battery light. do you know what this means?
I don't troubleshoot in chat. You can lookup on Google what the light means for your specific make/model laptop.
It didnt work for me, I have a gs63vr, it overheated and turned off, tried this method but didnt work, when I put the charger not even the charging lights turn on, do you know what it could be?
Thanks for your question, and your answer maybe in your question. you said it overheated, that means either fans are not working properly or at all. Maybe alot of dust build up you need compressed air and open the laptop to clean the fans and heat vents. Maybe a cooling pad is required if you are in a warm room. Laptops need to run cooler.
@@TwinBytesInc thanks for the quick response, the pc is not turning on anymore, I thought it was de power adapter and tried with one that shows if it's working and it turns off as soon as I conect it to the pc, so i'll just go to repair it, thanks for the help
Sorry not much else can be done aside from a motherboard repair it seems.
Hi I just replaced the ram on my MSI GL65 leopard laptop, I followed your instructions regarding draining the battery I put it back together and it just shows the charging light but it will not turn on. The fans are working but the screen is not starting up
It seems it's from the new ram I purchased, it boots up after I put in the original ram.
Can you recommend to me a compatible memory for my MSI GL65 Leopard? I want to upgrade it from 16gb to 32gb. I am not that tech-savvy, and I would really appreciate it
you can use this website is great! www.crucial.com/store/advisor I did a video on it years ago but it changed alot. Time for a new video. You can enter your computer info to search or use the system scanner. Alternatively find the manual for your exact system.
You're a genius man. I just bought a new laptop and it was not turning on. That 60sec trick really worked for me. Thanks a lot.❤❤Respect(2024,March)
You are welcome! Glad I could help.
Thank you so much for this! It worked :)
Great to hear! You're welcome!
This didn't work for my laptop unfortunately, don't suppose you've any other tips I can use? If not I may just have to look into getting it repaired
basically it's usually either the battery, power adapter, the outlet it's plugged into or the motherboard. Unless it is turning on but the screen is dead. Small chance of bad memory as well but that usually will make a beeping sound. A bad drive would still show you something on the screen.
Hi! I tried it and it didn't work because the problem was not the laptop's battery! Instead it was something more silly: The interlock cable of the charger was broke, so I changed it and now the notebook works. I put this to also give another solution, maybe it's not your notebook but your charger
Definitely you are correct. I did make a note on the screen in the video at 0:45 that you might need to replace the adapter.
Hello sir, can you fix a bootloop MSI laptop in the BIOS? Thanks u sir
I can't fix BIOS issues remotely or over the phone or by chat. they are all different so step by step instructions vary. The manufacturers website should have instructions with links to latest BIOS upgrades if any available. If it's just a boot loop, Windows may simply need a repair/reinstall. but also could be a bad hard drive which means testing the hard drive with a bootable USB or removing the drive and testing on another computer. Too much to get into here.
Why are some screws impossible to unscrew?
Could be a special Torx screw that you need to get that particular screw driver. They do this on purpose to make it harder for non technical people to fix themselves without owning a full set of tools.
Mr Gauthier it doesn't work for me I have an msi gp73 it was shut down I thought it was a light cut off but no after that I tried to turn it on nothing it doesn't work I did I tooked restart the bios with the flash boton. I had a problem with the battery before sometimes charge and sometimes no but now it doesn't turn on at all and even putting the adapter the light of charging is not turning on. What should I do in this case please... I'm studying and working with the laptop every day I don't know what to do...
Thank you for your question. It's possible the charger is dead and needs replacing. If you can borrow someone's to try it and find out, maybe you just need to buy a new charger. If not, that maybe a motherboard repair that you require.
You my good man deserve an award thank you ! :)
Wow, thanks!
Worked for my msi laptop. Thanks.
Great! You're welcome.
Sirr, I want to ask that my laptop is msi gf63 thin 9rcx, the problem is that he can't turn on the laptop without the help of a charger, but if the charger is unplugged after that, the normal laptop doesn't turn off, it's just that if you turn on the laptop at the beginning you have to be assisted with a charger, what's wrong 🙏🏻
That's very strange, I don't think I've seen that before. It sounds like there is something wrong with the battery that it can't have enough charge to boot the laptop, but it can hold a charge to keep it going after it is started. I am only guessing at this point, but sounds like the problem is the battery. If not the battery, it's a motherboard issue that needs repairing.
Why this issue is occurring mine was dell g15 , i tried your method just removed battery and repluged and it works. But why this is happening in the first place??
Glad it's working for you now. the issue is basically to do with bad power flow. This trick flushes the power and allows a fresh flow of new power. Could be bad wiring in the computer, could be the outlet your plugged into, or just temporarily "Dirty power" came through.
@@TwinBytesInc thanks for the reply
@@TwinBytesInc do you know how to prevent it happening again, it happened 4 four times for me I asked service they said motherboard problem and changing it
For my laptop it has power and I see the hard drive indicator on. Just no display. No MSI logo. I've removed the battery and pressed the power button for a long time but no luck. RAM sticks are ok I've taken out one at a time. Hard drive also ok I connected it to another PC and can access it. I even pin the little EC hole for 30 sec but also no luck. Also no luck using external monitor. Should I try replace the CMOS battery that connected to the board?
That's a cheap thing to try which is possible but no guarantee and we can't troubleshoot here.
Thankyou so much. It worked 🎉
You're welcome! Glad it worked for you.
Great video you save my life
Thank you for your kind words
My laptop ran out of battery, I kept charging it. after that, I pressed power and my laptop screen went black. how to fix it?
If this video doesn't work, there could be a number of different things to try which I don't troubleshoot in chat as it can be very time consuming for free.
thanks for the video, my MSI laptop turns on (power light on) but it doesnt boot up or show anything on the screen, and after a few seconds, the computer turns off... it happens sometimes, specially in cold days or when i take it to coldest places , what could it be?
thanks
That sounds a little strange. normally cold is good, not too cold but heat is a killer and make the fans work harder. Can't be overheating which is what it sounded like, but if in a cold environment it's worse? I don't think I heard of this before. Someone needs to look at it. Maybe it's just a coincidence about the temperature.
So i was working and suddenly my laptop turned blue, showed an error and shut off.
Then i tried booting but the screen never lit up. The power button light kept glowing but not the screen.
Then i switched it off and kept it on rest. After 30 mins i tried switching on again but this time, nothing would glow. I then plugged in the charger and the entire keyboard would light up and the laptop slowly heated up without the screen turning on. I don't know what's happening. Do you know what this problem is?
Although I can't troubleshoot here, if it's heating up with nothing on the screen, there is an issue with the power flow and it could be a bad battery, bad charging port (The DC Jack) or possibly the power adapter. You'd have to probably have someone open it up and look at it.
This method just worked for me ds why I subscribed to ur channel thanks👌 the issue now is that my laptop is making a strange sound
Thanks for the sub and glad I could help. That noise could be the root cause of the issue. You'd have to try to isolate the noise to see if it's the hard drive or a fan. You'd have to open the laptop up, remove the drive and check it externally and look at the fans if spinning freely. You might need a repair shop.
Hey, does this work with brand new laptops? I just got mine but it has the same problem and I want to know before I try anything
This can work with all makes and models of all years. It's not always the solution but certainly is something free you can try yourself before paying anyway. But if it's under warranty still, there is a chance that you could lose your warranty coverage opening the computer.
Didn’t work for me did exactly as video said put it back together plugged in power and middle blue light came on in the front but pushed button to turn on and nothing left it plugged in checked on it later and the middle blue light was off and now it seems completely dead , is the battery completely dead is this why ? Will it turn on with just the power adapter if i leave the battery out on these msi models that have an internal battery
Sorry this fix doesn't work every time but most of the time. Definitely if you leave the battery out, you can try powering on with just the power cord to determine if the battery is an issue. if doesn't work still, maybe issue with motherboard needs repairs.
I am using a msi modern 14 B5M laptop...
When i plugged in the charger it is showing charging but not increasing the percentage... Please help to fix this problem.... I always plug in when i am playing games
I don't troubleshoot here but try to give quick free advice when possible. Maybe bad battery but you'd need to try with a new one and then you're stuck with the new battery if doesn't help. you'd have to pay someone at least that much to troubleshoot anyway. Might be easier to pay for proper diagnostic. I can't troubleshoot this without seeing it.
Im having trouble opening the panel. I dont have a guitar pick any. I tried a card but it didnt do the trick. Any ideas to get it to open?
Anything slim and firm to slide inside, but not too far and damage components. Also I avoid metal so not to make contact between components and fry something. I like plastic which a guitar pic works perfectly. Even if you are not a guitar player, computer stores sell tools that include guitar pic shaped wedges. Or you can go to a music store and they offer free pics to customers.
I don't recommend walking into a music store to get a free guitar pic, that's kinda bad, but whatever you gotta do I guess. :)
hello, what size screw driver did you use? i have to purchase one in order to open my laptop and i don’t want to buy the wrong one
The type of screws seem to change sometimes from model to model and year to year but generally I use a standard phillips screw driver. The smaller of the two standard sizes that come in any set. I don't know the size number.
my msi shows that it’s charging. the only light that shows up is the blue charging light. but the actual keyboard and laptop don’t light up. is that the same problem as this or is it something different since my charger light is still lighting up?
This definitely can be the same problem. It's an issue with power flow. Could be a simple fix like this video, new battery, new power adapter or maybe motherboard repair is required. Something blocking power flow.
Hey man can you help me? Im MSI GL62M 7rd. Power button is lid but monitor keep blank.
Before that, I was doing monthly routine cleaning my laptop, and there was a button at the motherboard written SW3. Out of curiosity I pressed it. Then my laptop just blank forever (can't bios).
Tried your 60 sec trick still no work.
Help is appreciated, thanks
I don't know what would have happened now. Even I wouldn't have pressed that button. it's something you need to really know what it is before messing with it. It's some sort of interrupt button according to a quick Google search, but in most cases we never have to touch any buttons on the motherboard. You'll need to lookup this button in the user manual. Or take to your local expert.
Thank you so much. This video really saved me!
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful.
Thank you very much after i upgraded the ram to 64gb the laptop msi gs75 wont turn on i thought ow no what is this.
Because i knew i did not do anything wrong.
Thanks this helped me alot.
You're welcome. Glad I was of help.
Hello, my leopard 8re gp63 has a blue power button for a few seconds then goes off, no power whatsoever, the charging light doesnt come on either.
If this video didn't help and the whole in the bottom didn't do it either, then maybe a new power adapter if not bringing power in. Otherwise most likely motherboard needs repair or replacement.
Hello daniel, I have the same Msi laptop. I have been facing black screen issue the laptop & backlit turns on but the caps lock doesn't turn on & the screen is also black. Any suggestions or any kind of help will be appreciated. Thankyou!!
If this solution doesn't work, sounds like it's not the screen either if caps lock not lighting up either. Could be power adapter, battery or motherboard needs a repair.
Thankyou for the reply Daniel.@@TwinBytesInc
You're welcome
I think i have the same laptop, but my issue is the keyboard lits up and lits out like pc turning on and off.
Sounds like more of a hardware problem. Try removing all memory and see how it responds. Maybe bad memory. I wouldn't expect a bad hard drive for this to happen. Otherwise, something else with motherboard maybe going on if this video didn't solve it.
Para mí en particular funcionó a la perfección. Nada más que decir, gracias por compartir!!!
Perfecto! De nada
Hi , what’s the permanent Solution for this Issue ?
Hello, if this is a repeating issue, there is a problem with power flowing through the motherboard. So the motherboard would need to be either repaired or replaced.
I tried this multiple times. It actually works now and then. I noticed a blue light blinking in the area of the battery indicator whenever I pressed the button. So I replaced the battery and it worked worked few days.
Once I forgot to charge it before the battery goes off and the same problem has started again. I have a msi gl63 8rd.
I got a multimeter to track the power flow and i notice that 19.8v is completely delivered to the mother board and about 3v to the battery side for charging. But I do not notice the battery charging when plugged in.
Could you please give me a suggestion? Is the motherboard at fault?
Currently it's not working at all inspite of doing this procedure multiple times.
This definitely sounds like the charging chip on the motherboard. Someone who does motherboard repairs can replace any bad chips etc.
@@TwinBytesInc thank you for your suggestion. But doesn't it also mean the laptop should work without the battery? I am facing issues on both the cases.
@@TwinBytesInc to provide a clearer picture. The laptop did not turn on at all after I noticed that the first battery was at fault. Once I replaced the battery, with a new one, it actually started to work even without the battery. But for about one week or 10 days I did not operate the laptop, before fixing the new battery.
Now, after working for few days, the laptop battery died due to not charging, as I did not plug it in. Notice that the charging worked perfectly fine while I was using the laptop.
Now, out of nowhere it does not work at all, like the old times. This is the scenario.
Correct
Sounds like motherboard issue of some sort. I can't troubleshoot here further. Someone needs to look at it to confirm. You've already isolated the issue it sounds like.
Any tips if this doesn’t work :-/
If the trick doesn't work, it could require new battery, new power adapter, or motherboard repair.
heyy so i have an msi gf63. i used it until the battery goes 0%, plugged it in and turned it on then it was up for 5 seconds before it shut down for no reason and won't turn on even with the cable.
this did not work for me unfortunately, but i'm glad it worked for other people. i'm never going to buy an msi pc ever again lol
I personally don't recommend MSI but at the same time, this issue can happen with any brand. MSI has made some good computers. I always say, you could buy the top of the line product and it dies a week later, or you could buy absolute garbage with bad reviews and it lasts forever and works great!
I have MSI GT72S-6QD which has light when I plugged in but it won't power on. I tried resetting the battery with your video but still it has same problem. What could I do? Thanks for your video.
You're welcome and to answer your question, it could be the battery is completely dead and the power adapter isn't working and needs replacing. It's also possible it's a motherboard issues and needs reflowing or a DC jack replacement. Needs to be looked at.
@@TwinBytesInc I tried to check the voltage of the charger and power socket which they were ok. I could find the voltage on the motherboard (19v). I am not professional but I have tried to check. I think that this is motherboard issue. But should I try it with new battery? Thanks for your réponse.
If the computer works with the power adapter and no battery, then it's just the battery, but if it doesn't work even with power adapter, it's either the adapter, DC Jack, or motherboard. up to you how far you want to try yourself.
@@TwinBytesIncNo light no power up when I tried without battery. There is a light with battery and charger but no power up. I checked the voltage on the power socket and found 19V. There is a 19V on the circuits of the motherboard. I think that I have to diagnose deeply after watching a lots of videos :-). I am really appreciate about your answers and guide. Thanks.
Removed power adapter worked but now im worried because that NEVER happened before 😅😂 thanks!
Glad it worked. Don't worry too much. These things I've seen happen over the years and usually never repeated that I'm aware of. In some cases it can repeat, then we just deal with it at that time. For now, you're working and most likely will continue to be fine for the life of that laptop.
You don't need any tool to separate the bottom on an MSI laptop except for the screwdriver. I was easily able to pull the bottom of mine off by sliding my fingernail along the split and lifting up. Most laptops are not that easy, they'll have screws hidden under the keyboard, they'll have spots holding the bottom on, and sometimes you can't even get inside without breaking the case entirely.
Yes, there are so many variations to how the laptops are built, so instructions very greatly. You can just go by how MSI works, you'd have to look for the specific model of MIS, but for how TH-cam works, I can't do every single model. :)
Didnt work for me :/ tried the taking out the battery holding the button for a min then putting the battery back in all i gey is a blue light for powering on but nothing else and then it just shuts back off then i tried it again with only the power adpater and when i do that the keybored lights up and i can hear the fans moving lightly but thats it not sure whats wrong its weird cause it was working just fine before then i got a bluescreen and since then its just been doing this :/
It's possible the fans are not working and it's overheating causing it to shut off soon as you try to turn it on. This solution in this video is mainly for if it doesn't even try turning on.
