How to fix an MSI laptop that will not turn on

[@windseeking]

Thanks!

[@TwinBytesInc]

Thanks so much for the Super Thanks!

[@lakota2-1warden]

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.

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

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 😊👍🏼

[@sammyhaghour976]

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.

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@xAMALGAMx]

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

How do you fix a dominator that is shutting down under heavy load it was diagnosed with motherboard failure but I do not think that is the case do you know what the issue could be it has no instant shutting down but rather overheating issues.

[@TwinBytesInc]

Hello Revan. Not sure how it was diagnosed as a motherboard failure, who said it was a motherboard issue? Anyway you also said you believe it is overheating. Maybe a fan isn't spinning properly anymore, maybe not spinning at all. Maybe dust build up or clogged fans with pet hair. You'd have to open it up and inspect the fans to make sure they are free spinning. Also you can purchase a cooling pad for your laptop to help when under heavier loads like lengthy gaming.

[@jacobcallahan8523]

@daniel gauthier this didn’t work for me do you have any ideas of what else I could do to fix this problem?

[@TwinBytesInc]

It requires more troubleshooting as any issue could go in a different direction. Maybe bad memory, maybe it is turning on but just your screen is dead, maybe power cord or the outlet you are plugged into. Too much to troubleshoot here.

[@wallydeleon2]

Hi Thanks for the Video. I have the same concern but it was after i tried only of removing and replacing a keyboard. After so, my laptop just turns the keyboard on and nothing happens. I use an external monitor that I have been using for this laptop but still no Video. History of this, is that moisture may have affected my laptop after being left on a rainy days. And I left it about a week. Molds started inside the room as I returned and as I tried using it the monitor started to flicker and after few days I lost some Keys from working. So I tried to check wiring on my keyboard and install them again. But now become worst. Hope you could share more thoughts. Thanks You. Watching from the Philippines.

did u find a solution

[@jackhickey5127]

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!

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

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.

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

Will this solve the issue completely or will we have to always take the back off and do the process over and over?

[@yaserhz1270]

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?

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

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.

[@renaishabebo]

Can you tell me what actually is the problem of this happening??

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@zotryt6222]

Thank u ..I just hold the power button for 1 min and it worked

[@TwinBytesInc]

You are welcome

[@lakshmifull]

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]

This definitely sounds like the charging chip on the motherboard. Someone who does motherboard repairs can replace any bad chips etc.

[@lakshmifull]

@@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.

[@lakshmifull]

@@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.

[@TwinBytesInc]

Correct

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@daviddurancastelli2864]

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?

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@daviddurancastelli2864]

@@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

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

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

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

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

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?

[@TwinBytesInc]

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. :)

I've noticed that the stripes on the battery that are on the top side, on your video are green, in my battery are red. Is possible that the problem is from the battery that's completely gone? I've tried also to start the laptop without the battery but the computer still to not turn on

[@TwinBytesInc]

Thanks for your well written question. If the charging light doesn't come on and you tried all this, it sounds like maybe the DC Jack needs replacing. You'd have to have a new DC Jack installed which is most likely soldered on the motherboard.

[@sergio76e]

@@TwinBytesInc Dear Daniel thank you for your reply. About the dc connector on the motherboard as possible issue, my question is: the laptop has suddenly shut down but before this, I hadn't a battery low charging message on computer. So, if the dc connector has fault, the laptop wasn't supposed to stay on at least as long as the battery have a charge?

[@TwinBytesInc]

Yes, if the battery still had charge, it would still work until the battery runs out, even if DC connector bad. But sometimes there can be more than one issue. Someone needs to physically look at this. I can't say for sure, I can only give my best guess without looking.

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.

Hello, so I have a MSI GF65 laptop and suddenly one day it crashed and turned off on me.

I took it to get serviced and they told me the cmoss battery was dead so I replaced it and I’m still having the same issue. I would appreciate any sort of help!

There is no way they can say that is the issue for sure without proving it. Since I don't see your computer I can't say for sure either, this video just gives recommendations on what fixes it many times. if this doesn't help, I could have almost guaranteed it's not the CMOS battery. I've never seen a CMOS battery cause this. it's something on the motherboard that maybe needs to be reflowed.

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

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@meepowpeewsadams5432]

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 🙏🏻

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@DesireXen]

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.

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@XShmoke]

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.

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@Mati-GB]

Hello. The issue is how you describe it, but solution didn’t work. Any idea what can I do? Thank you!

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@ShinaAlboma]

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?

[@TwinBytesInc]

That's a cheap thing to try which is possible but no guarantee and we can't troubleshoot here.

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!!

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@howardadams88]

Not sure if it's anything at all but the issue is this, my power adapter was chewed on by puppy while I was cooking and said adapter was making my msi shut off completely at random I think so I checked the battery life and it was at 98 percent so I shut my laptop off to save the power, i tried turning it on the next day to get some files and all it did was the power light and keyboard light up then suddenly shuts off no fans running or even screen doing anything, and it does it constantly and I'm still waiting for the new power adapter, so any idea of what's going on

[@TwinBytesInc]

Thanks for your question. You can try running it without the power adapter for just long enough to prove if it works without the chewed up adapter. Then you know that's the cause and you need to get that new adapter asap. The bad adapter cause issues like this and worse. There could be an electrical fire, so you must be very careful. Tape it up with electrical tape in the mean time but if it keeps crashing your computer, you are best to not use the computer anymore until you get the new adapter, or you could damage your laptop as well.

[@victorhek6627]

Everytime i charge the laptop the blue lamp at button on was in mode sleep. Any idea how to fix it? I use GV62 7RC

[@TwinBytesInc]

I'm not sure if I understand. Everything works but only one of the status lights go out while charging? Sounds weird but doesn't sound like it's causing any problems either. Sounds like some confusion going on in the motherboard. Maybe a firmware update is required.

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?

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@gutspillage]

@@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.

[@TwinBytesInc]

[@Tpaul995]

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?

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@marvinuniputty3848]

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.

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@asmallblackboi846]

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

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

Hey can you please help me i have a Msi stealth 15m and it does not work and the keyboard flashes for a second and turns off again help plz

[@TwinBytesInc]

Does it keep turning on and off or just flashes on once and then stays off? if stays off, this video should help, otherwise it needs more troubleshooting possibly in person than what I can offer in chat here. If it keeps flashing on and off it is a code which you'd have to lookup to find the meaning.

@@TwinBytesInc no the screens stays off but the keyboard flashes once

[@TwinBytesInc]

@@kxrtezz You could try removing the memory and see if it beeps at least. But if nothing, maybe motherboard issue.

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.

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@tcirit]

@@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.

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

[@tcirit]

@@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.

Tried your 60 sec trick still no work. Help is appreciated, thanks

[@TwinBytesInc]

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.

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.

[@TwinBytesInc]

Thanks for your question. It really sounds like some sort of problem with the motherboard. If they did a BIOS upgrade and it's still a problem, you should request a warranty replacement as it should still be under warranty being only 6 months old. Be careful so places drag on repairs until warranty expires and then say it's too late. I think you should probably ask for a replacement. Otherwise its a motherboard repair.

@@ENeha-ev1sp Thanks for your question. I can't make a guarantee on their behalf but I believe that will fix is from what I hear from you. That's worth a try. As long as it's working in the end, you have the warranty to fix it whatever way is required. Just make sure you have a backup of your data. These big companies tend to wipe data as standard procedure for any repairs.

I got the gv72 8rd I recently replace the keyboard after water damage but it wont power on like this I tried the power flush it still wont turn on but the status lights on the front still come on when it hooked up to the charger so juce must be flowing through the system. Any ideas? I'd like to exhaust all avenues before I take it to a greedy 3rd party repair shop.

[@TwinBytesInc]

Thanks for your question. Sounds like because it was water damaged, the motherboard might have corrosion. If fairly recent, leaving it unplugged and off, upside down like a tent, it might allow access water to escape and dry faster. Maybe after a day try again but who knows if needs a bit longer. Without having an expert and open it to look at the board, there is no way to know for sure the extent of the damage. Best to call around, get quotes telling them you most likely need motherboard repair due to water damage. It's not like it was a sticky substance, so it shouldn't be hard to fix.
