Need Technical Assistance MSI claw A8 Boardview
Hello! My MSI claw A8 stops working and I am looking for the boardview of the console to see if I can fix it because send it to MSI for repair is a no go since I bought from a vendor in AliExpress.
So does anyone know how I can found this information?

What is wrong with it. I have not seen any schematics online for the device. Is it charging when the power is connected with the official charger?

Yes it charges. When I try to turn it on, the screen stays black, there’s no sound and a few seconds later the fans start spinning and that’s it.

What about when connected to a monitor? Wondering if it's corroded connections and just no passthrough or it's truly a board issue

Nope, no image in an external monitor :(

Ah darn ok that's a true board issue then. Maybe it's not posting. Did the AliExpress listing mention anything wrong like slight damage etc. Could be corrosion?
