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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 ❤️
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!
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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 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 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 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.
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'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 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 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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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
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 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 UA-cam works, I can't do every single model. :)
This went way to far, all I did was went to my charger and unplugged the cord from the box and put it back in, works like a charm, 2/2 times it’s worked
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.😢
@@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.
Hello. My MSI laptop blinks once on the whole keyboard when i press the power button but nothing happens after that. Who has experienced the same and how did you solve it?
These are usually codes that tell you what's wrong. You can lookup the error codes for that specific model on MSI website. There are beep codes for when they make sound and blink codes (maybe called something else) for when it's a light flashing a certain number of times or so many times fast and slow.
So I tried all this and nothing my charging light shows it’s charging but it won’t turn on I also swapped the ram thinking maybe it was a bad ram but nothing it just won’t turn on
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.
It didn’t work for me and I had tried everything such as what demonstrated in the video disconnecting ssd, hhd , ram and etc but I still won’t work and I have ordered a battery to replace it but I am unsure if it the battery or the mother board because I have no life what so ever and it not the charger because I used an amp tester to check the charger and it works but the battery pins are to closed tight to check if there is any voltage My computer is a Msi gp73 8re
Someone needs to look at this to know for sure. I can only provide general guidelines for what it could be as many people will have a different solution.
I have my MSi computer and I was charging it while using it and then I closed my computer and after an hour later I wanted to use it and it didn’t turn on but I plugged the charger in and it shows a blue light but it won’t turn on
If this video doesn't help with that, it's possible it's a bigger issue with the motherboard that requires repairs. First, you could try leaving battery and power out over night, next day.

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.
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
Worked on the Msi Gt 77 after ram setting oc. Thx so much for the great tutorial.
Glad it helped. You're welcome.
Thx!!! It worked like a charm!!!
Awesome! Thanks for your comment.
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.
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.
It worked like charm! Thanks a lot to save the day!!!
That's awesome! You're welcome.
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.
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.
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.
How the hell do I always end up having to come back to this video
if you keep having repeat issues like this, that's a sign something needs replacing. Either battery or motherboard repair.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thank u ..I just hold the power button for 1 min and it worked
You are 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.
I followed your technique and it works fine. I solve the problem. Thanks you.
Glad it helped
Thank you, this worked and saved me from panic mode!❤
You're welcome. Glad it helped.
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.
Merci beaucoup Daniel, vos astuces m'ont carrément sauvé d'un fort mauvais pas.
Aucun problème. Je suis heureux d'être utile.
Thank you so much. This video really saved me!
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful.
You my good man deserve an award thank you ! :)
Wow, thanks!
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.
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 UA-cam works, I can't do every single model. :)
Para mí en particular funcionó a la perfección. Nada más que decir, gracias por compartir!!!
Perfecto! De nada
Great video you save my life
Thank you for your kind words
That's fantastic mate, thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for taking time to comment
This went way to far, all I did was went to my charger and unplugged the cord from the box and put it back in, works like a charm, 2/2 times it’s worked
Glad you easily got it working.
Hi from South African vloggers 🇿🇦 😀 ❤️ 🌍
Hello, thanks for stopping by.
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!
Thanks very much!!!! It worked for me.. Gracias por su video. Funciono en mi unidad!!!
You're welcome, De nada.
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 :/
Thank you so much buddy..!! This totally worked.😍😍
You're welcome. Glad it worked.
It worked! thanks a lot man.
PC: msi gf63 thin 10sc
Excellent! You're welcome
Umm, wow, I didn’t think it would’ve worked 🤔 but it did. Thank you!
You're welcome
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
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.
My tears of joyfulness, thank you sir. 😭😭😭
You're welcome
I have mailed but when I opened it I have no battery but video was excellent walk thru
Thank you. Good luck.
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.
This save my day! It works! Thank youuuuu!
Awesome! You're welcome!
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 followed your instructions and now my wife's laptop turns on!
Excellent! I'm glad it worked for you.
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 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.
Wow I didnt think it would work, thanks mate
No problem 👍
Worked for my msi laptop. Thanks.
Great! 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
I tried the 60 second battery flush without removing the battery and my laptop is up and running again. Thanks
Excellent! You're welcome
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.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I THOUGHT I HAD TO BUY A NEW ONE I SUBBED AND LIKED I LOVE YOU
You're welcome and thanks for the love.
Hello. My MSI laptop blinks once on the whole keyboard when i press the power button but nothing happens after that. Who has experienced the same and how did you solve it?
These are usually codes that tell you what's wrong. You can lookup the error codes for that specific model on MSI website. There are beep codes for when they make sound and blink codes (maybe called something else) for when it's a light flashing a certain number of times or so many times fast and slow.
Thank you! worked like a charm!
Excellent! You're welcome!
Appreciate it 🗣💯It WORKKED
You're welcome. Thanks for taking time to write me.
You are the man!!!! Thought I fried my laptop for good
Thanks for your kind words!
Thankyou so much. It worked 🎉
You're welcome! Glad it worked for you.
Thank you sir it helped me a lot.
You're welcome. I'm glad I could help.
So I tried all this and nothing my charging light shows it’s charging but it won’t turn on I also swapped the ram thinking maybe it was a bad ram but nothing it just won’t turn on
Are you sure it's not just the screen? Maybe it's on but screen dead. you could try with external monitor. otherwise issue with motherboard
Thanks this helped a lot.
Glad it helped. Thanks for taking time to comment.
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.
Resurrected my dead lappy. Thanks!
Awesome! You're welcome.
Thanks a lot sir
Most welcome
Thank you so much, it worked for me
You're welcome! Glad to hear it worked for you
It didn’t work for me and I had tried everything such as what demonstrated in the video disconnecting ssd, hhd , ram and etc but I still won’t work and I have ordered a battery to replace it but I am unsure if it the battery or the mother board because I have no life what so ever and it not the charger because I used an amp tester to check the charger and it works but the battery pins are to closed tight to check if there is any voltage
My computer is a Msi gp73 8re
Someone needs to look at this to know for sure. I can only provide general guidelines for what it could be as many people will have a different solution.
I have my MSi computer and I was charging it while using it and then I closed my computer and after an hour later I wanted to use it and it didn’t turn on but I plugged the charger in and it shows a blue light but it won’t turn on
If this video doesn't help with that, it's possible it's a bigger issue with the motherboard that requires repairs. First, you could try leaving battery and power out over night, next day.
Thank you very much dude! Cheers!
You're welcome.
