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.
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!
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 ❤️
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.
^^ 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!!!
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.
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.
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 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. 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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Thank you so much! My laptop is now working ☺️ Do you know why the laptop needs this to happen? / how I go about preventing doing whatever caused it to not work?
You're welcome. Glad it worked. Hopefully earned your subscription. This seems to happen due to an issue with the flow of power. It gets stuck and doesn't flow properly from the power source through the motherboard, to the battery and back to the motherboard. Somewhere along the line it's clogged so to speak. This unclogs the power and allows it to flow again.
Hi Daniel, your video help a lot, i have the same laptop (MSI GL62M 7RDX) i tried it but it still won't turn on, the light indicator in power button is off too. Can you help me what to do with it?? Thanks in advance
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.
That's so awesome! I'm not sure I can explain it perfectly, but it's basically like "dirty power" or a power blockage of some sort where the power isn't flowing properly to all the components and doing this flushing the power out of the system completely. That's why it takes a little longer to get power when you first plug the power cord back in so it can start flowing again before you can hit the power button.
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. :)
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.
Thanks for this. My problem is that it won't wake up with mouse click or keyboard, etc. It only wakes when i press the power key. I looked in setting and it looks like it should but does not.
There must be a setting somewhere that is off in either the power management in control panel or power management tab of the keyboard and mouse properties in the device manager.
@@TwinBytesInc Thanks for the reply, appreciate it. Yes, it is very odd. The only solution I could find was turning the sleep to 'Never' while on battery and while plugged in and then having the screen turn off after a period of time, so that it does not sleep at all, just allows the screens to shut down.
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.
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.
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?
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.
It worked for me, but if you could let people know about the importance of ESD that would be great. I work in 2M micro and miniature repair and electrostatic Discharge is a very big deal.
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.
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.
Damn that's the exact model I have! But my problem is that it DOES power on and doesn't boot up (long story short but I've done the trouble shooting to determine that's the problem and not the laptop's screen itself that's messed up) . I remember when this happened a few years back I called tech support and after racking our heads together what seemed to work was holding down power and ... Some other buttons I can't remember and it caused the system to turn on and off rapidly while I held this combination, and eventually it showed the main logo on boot up.
Hi Mark, if it powers on but just won't boot, if there's nothing on the screen and you've already confirmed it's not the screen, then that means there's an issue with the video chip in the motherboard. Probably needs replacing, especially if you've had this issue before and happening again.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks for your video, I wish I had seen it before paying $150 USD just for doing exactly this. Do you know what causes this problem? since the first time (a couple of months ago) it's beening happening like every 1 or 2 weeks.
I'm sorry to hear you had to pay first to find out how simple the solution "can be". I don't know exactly what causes it but usually poor power flow which can be fixed maybe by reflowing the motherboard, or dirty power. Maybe if you're plugged straight into the wall, try going through a power bar or even better, go through a UPS battery surge protection system.
MSI GS66 Stealth laptop. I was charging my laptop, came back to it 2 hours later and it wouldn't turn on. I unplugged the charger and still nothing. I could hear static noise coming from the laptop where you plug in the charger. I came across your video and held down the power button for 60 seconds then I released it. I noticed the static noise went away right after. Waited a couple of seconds and pushed down on the power button and viola, it worked. Is there a problem with my laptop or charger? Thanks!
I'm glad you found this helpful. If this happened only once, it's just a temporary power glitch. if it happens again, maybe an underlying issue that needs troubleshooting.
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.
Hi, Daniel. Just want to know your quick opinion. My laptop is MSI GP66 Leopard and the battery was drained and won't turn on even when plugged. I followed this guideline and the laptop still dead. Is the issue lies on the power adapter? Sorry for my question, thank you.
Sounds like the next step is try a new power adapter. Maybe you can borrow one to confirm before buying. If that doesn't work, most likely needs motherboard repair.
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.
I have a new msi gaming laptop and it’s less than a month old. Power cut out. Now it’s not turning on. I’m assuming this is a warranty covered problem since it was bought new. Would you recommend me trying this ? Or taking it to where I bought it.
I think this is what they would try anyway to send back to you after repairs. However, if you have to break any seals to get at the battery, I would advise against it because it would void your warranty.
It did not work for me even with reinstalling cmos battery. The story is my laptop is completely ded after replacing the fan and repaste. During the process, when i tried to connect the display cable back to the board, there was a little spark and smoke coming out and it was very quick. Anyway thanks for the video.
Thanks for taking time to write. Ya, before you even wrote about the spark, I figured you fried the board touching it. You don't even need to see a spark to fry it. But since you did, the full extent of the repairs are unknown. You'd need a professional to look at it and see if the board can be repaired or replaced. The display could be shot too, who knows. You always need to ground yourself when working on the inside of a computer.
Didnt work for my MSI GL Leopard is there anything else I can try? And I have only had this laptop Since March of this year. Do you think the Chicony Charging adapter may be bad?
Thanks for your question. Yes, if still won't turn on, possibly the battery is dead and the charger won't provide enough juice. There is also a small chance if not the charger there's an issue with the motherboard that needs repairing at your local shop. But it's pretty cheap to get another charger to try, and if it doesn't work, you have a spare at least. One to keep at home and one for travel.
Excellent question. Yes that would void the warranty. It's an educated risk you'll have to decide on. Maybe ask MSI about the warranty procedure and it maybe unacceptable to you. Many of my clients opt out of warranty repairs because they take too long and rather pay for the fix.
@@TwinBytesInc Thank you for the reply. I had submitted a ticket to MSI on how to proceed. Apparently that model has a (nearly invisible) battery reset pin hole in the back, using a straightened paper clip you push for 10s to flush the power. It is in the manual. Felt a bit stupid I never saw this, but the laptop is running fine now.
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.
@@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.
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.
I got MS-14DK with me, and I have the same problem but it didn't work. Although my keyboard has already problem because some keys don't work so well (Enter Key). I hope you can help me. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for your question. Sounds like could be related to your keyboard if the power button is embedded in there. There are many possible reasons for a computer problem, so it might be helpful to check out my latest video th-cam.com/video/BVwx6GruurU/w-d-xo.html which has some other hopefully useful suggestions
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
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.
I've been trying this repeatedly for a couple of weeks. Laptop works just fine with an external monitor though. Have been trying to rollback and update graphics drivers but to no avail
Thanks for your question. It sounds like the problem is the screen. You may need to replace the screen since an external monitor works we know this video won't help. You can try uninstalling the video driver first, reboot and let it detect itself. if still doesn't work, could be brightness level too low. Otherwise, you need to replace the screen.
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.
Hi Daniel, I tried what you did but unfortunately it did not work. I get no signs when I plug the charger or anything. I also have an msi similar to what you had and I was also using it completely fine the previous day. not sure what caused the issue. what do you think might be the problem?
I have exactly the same problem with other MSI model. However, laptop was a bit hot before it stopped working. Before draining the battery, did you experience the same? (I mean, the overheat)
This solution would be for bad power flow. The issue you have sounds like overheating which maybe the fans need to be cleaned out and especially from the heat sync. you might want to open it up and use compressed air to blow out all the fans and a little all over to get dust out.
There's definitely something wrong but could be any of a number of things including what you are mentioning. If troubleshooting yourself, try with least expensive possible solution first and work your way up. Otherwise maybe cheaper to pay a tech who has all the parts to try swapping out with.
it's possible, but if it's just the monitor, try plugging an external monitor in and see if it works. Then you'll know for sure if it's the screen that needs replacing or the monitor cable damaged internally.
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.
I tried this with my MSI GP72 2QD Leopard, but it still doesn’t fully turn on. When I press the start button the charging lights turn on, but the screen stays black. After a few seconds the fan turns on and won’t stop until I turn the laptop off again. What is the problem here? I really need some help!
Sorry to hear that didn't help. It is most likely something on the motherboard that could be fixed with a BIOS upgrade, but since you can't get to the BIOS the normal method you'd have to try removing the CMOS battery briefly or get a motherboard repair.
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
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.
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.
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.

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.

THIS 3 YEAR OLD VIDEO SAVED MY WALLET THANK YOU SO MUCH GENUINELY
My pleasure
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.
I had an issue not turning on my MSI laptop.
I followed the exact instructions as you showed.
It worked ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kindness 🎉
Awesome! I'm glad it worked for you. My pleasure
^^ 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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
It worked! You’re the man. Thanks for posting this.
Awesome! Thanks for taking time to reply.
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. :)
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.
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.
I nearly shat myself! It's my work laptop. You saved me!
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
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 can’t believe that really worked, thank you so much !!!! 😭❤️🙏🏼
You're welcome
@@TwinBytesInc thank you man god 🙏
Can you make a video tutorial on how to charge an MSI laptop without charging the battery?
Thank you, from Spain. You saved me from a painful situation.
You're welcome.
Thank you, this worked and saved me from panic mode!❤
You're welcome. Glad it helped.
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
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.
Wow thank you! I was doing a screen replacement and I thought I killed my laptop. After following your directions, its up and running! Thanks again~!
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
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.
Worked for me. Thought I was going to have to claim on the insurance until I saw this. Thanks!!
Great! Thanks for taking time to comment
Thank you so much! My laptop is now working ☺️ Do you know why the laptop needs this to happen? / how I go about preventing doing whatever caused it to not work?
You're welcome. Glad it worked. Hopefully earned your subscription. This seems to happen due to an issue with the flow of power. It gets stuck and doesn't flow properly from the power source through the motherboard, to the battery and back to the motherboard. Somewhere along the line it's clogged so to speak. This unclogs the power and allows it to flow again.
Hello. The issue is how you describe it, but solution didn’t work. Any idea what can I do? Thank you!
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.
Hi Daniel, your video help a lot, i have the same laptop (MSI GL62M 7RDX) i tried it but it still won't turn on, the light indicator in power button is off too. Can you help me what to do with it?? Thanks in advance
I'm glad you found the video helpful but if it still doesn't work. It's either you need a new battery, new power cord or motherboard repair.
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 :/
Ty ty so so much it wotks
That's so awesome! I'm not sure I can explain it perfectly, but it's basically like "dirty power" or a power blockage of some sort where the power isn't flowing properly to all the components and doing this flushing the power out of the system completely. That's why it takes a little longer to get power when you first plug the power cord back in so it can start flowing again before you can hit the power button.
@@TwinBytesInc I change the 2 fans ... and this happened to me ... I was scared about if I have done something wrong there 😰 ... thanks again
@@w5im597 You're welcome.
It worked for my GS63. Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for taking time to comment.
I followed your technique and it works fine. I solve the problem. Thanks you.
Glad it helped
Thank u ..I just hold the power button for 1 min and it worked
You are welcome
Hi from South African vloggers 🇿🇦 😀 ❤️ 🌍
Hello, thanks for stopping by.
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. :)
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.
Thanks for this. My problem is that it won't wake up with mouse click or keyboard, etc. It only wakes when i press the power key. I looked in setting and it looks like it should but does not.
There must be a setting somewhere that is off in either the power management in control panel or power management tab of the keyboard and mouse properties in the device manager.
@@TwinBytesInc Thanks for the reply, appreciate it. Yes, it is very odd. The only solution I could find was turning the sleep to 'Never' while on battery and while plugged in and then having the screen turn off after a period of time, so that it does not sleep at all, just allows the screens to shut down.
Worked on the Msi Gt 77 after ram setting oc. Thx so much for the great tutorial.
Glad it helped. You're welcome.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Thank you so much for this! It worked :)
Great to hear! You're welcome!
It worked for me, but if you could let people know about the importance of ESD that would be great. I work in 2M micro and miniature repair and electrostatic Discharge is a very big deal.
Maybe I forgot to mention it in this video, but I mentioned it in other videos. Thanks for pointing this out.
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.
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
Damn that's the exact model I have! But my problem is that it DOES power on and doesn't boot up (long story short but I've done the trouble shooting to determine that's the problem and not the laptop's screen itself that's messed up) . I remember when this happened a few years back I called tech support and after racking our heads together what seemed to work was holding down power and ... Some other buttons I can't remember and it caused the system to turn on and off rapidly while I held this combination, and eventually it showed the main logo on boot up.
Hi Mark, if it powers on but just won't boot, if there's nothing on the screen and you've already confirmed it's not the screen, then that means there's an issue with the video chip in the motherboard. Probably needs replacing, especially if you've had this issue before and happening again.
Do you remember the other button?
@@TwinBytesInc do you know the other button he had to press? I have the same problem
You my good man deserve an award thank you ! :)
Wow, thanks!
Merci beaucoup Daniel, vos astuces m'ont carrément sauvé d'un fort mauvais pas.
Aucun problème. Je suis heureux d'être utile.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks for your video, I wish I had seen it before paying $150 USD just for doing exactly this. Do you know what causes this problem? since the first time (a couple of months ago) it's beening happening like every 1 or 2 weeks.
I'm sorry to hear you had to pay first to find out how simple the solution "can be". I don't know exactly what causes it but usually poor power flow which can be fixed maybe by reflowing the motherboard, or dirty power. Maybe if you're plugged straight into the wall, try going through a power bar or even better, go through a UPS battery surge protection system.
@@TwinBytesInc thanks Daniel! I'll try that.
MSI GS66 Stealth laptop. I was charging my laptop, came back to it 2 hours later and it wouldn't turn on. I unplugged the charger and still nothing. I could hear static noise coming from the laptop where you plug in the charger. I came across your video and held down the power button for 60 seconds then I released it. I noticed the static noise went away right after. Waited a couple of seconds and pushed down on the power button and viola, it worked. Is there a problem with my laptop or charger? Thanks!
I'm glad you found this helpful. If this happened only once, it's just a temporary power glitch. if it happens again, maybe an underlying issue that needs troubleshooting.
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.
It worked like charm! Thanks a lot to save the day!!!
That's awesome! You're welcome.
Hi, Daniel. Just want to know your quick opinion. My laptop is MSI GP66 Leopard and the battery was drained and won't turn on even when plugged. I followed this guideline and the laptop still dead. Is the issue lies on the power adapter? Sorry for my question, thank you.
Sounds like the next step is try a new power adapter. Maybe you can borrow one to confirm before buying. If that doesn't work, most likely needs motherboard repair.
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.
I have a new msi gaming laptop and it’s less than a month old. Power cut out. Now it’s not turning on. I’m assuming this is a warranty covered problem since it was bought new. Would you recommend me trying this ? Or taking it to where I bought it.
I think this is what they would try anyway to send back to you after repairs. However, if you have to break any seals to get at the battery, I would advise against it because it would void your warranty.
It did not work for me even with reinstalling cmos battery. The story is my laptop is completely ded after replacing the fan and repaste. During the process, when i tried to connect the display cable back to the board, there was a little spark and smoke coming out and it was very quick. Anyway thanks for the video.
Thanks for taking time to write. Ya, before you even wrote about the spark, I figured you fried the board touching it. You don't even need to see a spark to fry it. But since you did, the full extent of the repairs are unknown. You'd need a professional to look at it and see if the board can be repaired or replaced. The display could be shot too, who knows. You always need to ground yourself when working on the inside of a computer.
I followed your instructions and now my wife's laptop turns on!
Excellent! I'm glad it worked for you.
Didnt work for my MSI GL Leopard is there anything else I can try? And I have only had this laptop Since March of this year. Do you think the Chicony Charging adapter may be bad?
Thanks for your question. Yes, if still won't turn on, possibly the battery is dead and the charger won't provide enough juice. There is also a small chance if not the charger there's an issue with the motherboard that needs repairing at your local shop. But it's pretty cheap to get another charger to try, and if it doesn't work, you have a spare at least. One to keep at home and one for travel.
Mine shows 100% battery but turns off when unplugged.
@@banzaisbanza Thanks for your comment. That sounds like your battery is bad and needs replacing.
I have an MSI GS75 that won't power up, but to open it I need to break the factory seal. That would void the warranty wouldn't it?
Excellent question. Yes that would void the warranty. It's an educated risk you'll have to decide on. Maybe ask MSI about the warranty procedure and it maybe unacceptable to you. Many of my clients opt out of warranty repairs because they take too long and rather pay for the fix.
@@TwinBytesInc Thank you for the reply. I had submitted a ticket to MSI on how to proceed. Apparently that model has a (nearly invisible) battery reset pin hole in the back, using a straightened paper clip you push for 10s to flush the power. It is in the manual. Felt a bit stupid I never saw this, but the laptop is running fine now.
@@gutspillage Wow! That's something I haven't seen before and it's certainly not every manufacturer. Thanks for sharing this.
My tears of joyfulness, thank you sir. 😭😭😭
You're welcome
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.
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.
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.
Thx!!! It worked like a charm!!!
Awesome! Thanks for your comment.
I got MS-14DK with me, and I have the same problem but it didn't work. Although my keyboard has already problem because some keys don't work so well (Enter Key). I hope you can help me. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for your question. Sounds like could be related to your keyboard if the power button is embedded in there. There are many possible reasons for a computer problem, so it might be helpful to check out my latest video th-cam.com/video/BVwx6GruurU/w-d-xo.html which has some other hopefully useful suggestions
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.
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.
I've been trying this repeatedly for a couple of weeks. Laptop works just fine with an external monitor though. Have been trying to rollback and update graphics drivers but to no avail
Thanks for your question. It sounds like the problem is the screen. You may need to replace the screen since an external monitor works we know this video won't help. You can try uninstalling the video driver first, reboot and let it detect itself. if still doesn't work, could be brightness level too low. Otherwise, you need to replace the screen.
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.
Hi Daniel, I tried what you did but unfortunately it did not work. I get no signs when I plug the charger or anything. I also have an msi similar to what you had and I was also using it completely fine the previous day. not sure what caused the issue. what do you think might be the problem?
if this video didn't help, chances are the motherboard is the problem and needs repair.
I have exactly the same problem with other MSI model. However, laptop was a bit hot before it stopped working. Before draining the battery, did you experience the same? (I mean, the overheat)
This solution would be for bad power flow. The issue you have sounds like overheating which maybe the fans need to be cleaned out and especially from the heat sync. you might want to open it up and use compressed air to blow out all the fans and a little all over to get dust out.
Het Daniel! My laptop recently did this, and now it’s done it again not even 2 days later. Is there an issue with the charger or the ram or something?
There's definitely something wrong but could be any of a number of things including what you are mentioning. If troubleshooting yourself, try with least expensive possible solution first and work your way up. Otherwise maybe cheaper to pay a tech who has all the parts to try swapping out with.
Para mí en particular funcionó a la perfección. Nada más que decir, gracias por compartir!!!
Perfecto! De nada
Will the same procedure work if computer turns on but the monitor doesn't?
it's possible, but if it's just the monitor, try plugging an external monitor in and see if it works. Then you'll know for sure if it's the screen that needs replacing or the monitor cable damaged internally.
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.
I tried this with my MSI GP72 2QD Leopard, but it still doesn’t fully turn on. When I press the start button the charging lights turn on, but the screen stays black. After a few seconds the fan turns on and won’t stop until I turn the laptop off again. What is the problem here? I really need some help!
Sorry to hear that didn't help. It is most likely something on the motherboard that could be fixed with a BIOS upgrade, but since you can't get to the BIOS the normal method you'd have to try removing the CMOS battery briefly or get a motherboard repair.
Wow I didnt think it would work, thanks mate
No problem 👍
Thank you so much. This video really saved me!
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful.
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.
Thanks a lot it worked. I pressed power button for 60 seconds then everything became fine
You're welcome. Glad it worked.
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.
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.
