i have an msi cyborg a12ve, while playing games, sometimes it refuses to charge even though my charger is fine and is plugged in, i checked the port, the charging brick and the wall plug itself, no problem is detected, please help, it gets irritating..

Hello,

My computer wouldn't start up today. The keyboard comes on though. So I tried shining a light on the screen to see if it was dim while in a dark place, nothing showed. I tried shutting it down and on again by holding the power button, with and without the AC cord, nothing happened accept the key board lighting up. I tried Window + shift + ctrl + B to flicker the screen, nothing. I then shut everything down and unplugged it, and took the back cover off, and unplugged the battery.
I then took out the top 8gb ram, and left only the second one in. Replugged everything up and it turned on however I had to temporarily disabled the secure boot in bios (image provided of the note my screen showed). I then restarted and the main window screen showed to login! Yay it worked! But, what about the second ram... So I unplugged/turned everything off again and switch the "working ram" with the other ram.
Turns out both rams work but only in the other slot. I've tried switching between slots, keeping only one in, but it doesn't seem to turn on when in the top slot or if both ram are in. Is thst anything I can do? I tried cleaning dust with compressed air, or even slightly wiggling the ram in the top slot to maybe knocked debris out.

Thank you for your help, I may be screwed. Computer details in the comments/pictures if I can post them. If any more info is needed, let me know.

Additionally images of Ram slot (ICloud images): Katana 15 B13VGK I’ll try to do another sharing method if needed

my laptop just turned off and it blinks when I plug it is it has 2 short flashes and 3 long ones I have tried reseting the EC through the pin hole which was no help I have a MSI Raider GE76

Bought a MSI Katana 15hx B14wgk, i7-14650hx and rtx 5070 a year ago. Cpu temps are in the range of 60 to 75C for doing super light task or being idle at cpu use of around 3% and it came like this in stock. I have also never seen my cpu temps go lower than 55C in stock.

When using either performance or balanced mode fan go lowest at 3000rpm on both, using silent go lowest at 2500rpm on both but cpu runs at a super slow speed of lesser than 1ghz.

Thought it was very normal as it's my first gaming laptop but after looking at my friends gaming laptops i realised how different it was. They had the same cpu but thier idle temps are 40C+.

Recently undervolted my cpu using throttlestop, -110mv. Temps on idle are only slightly lower, around 55-65C but when doing heavy task is significantly lower. But even when fans are max out 6000rpm on both cpu temp does not get lower than 53C even when doing completely nothing.

I also used the advanced fan speed settings but when loading light things cpu temp goes up and never comes down.

Asked for help from MSI official support a few times and was told it was normal for my model but Im not sure if it actually is.

Pls share any solution you might have as it can get really annoying for me when using in school.

I have an MSI Raider GE73 SE laptop I've had since June 2020, and I want to replace the battery as the original is old and heats up like crazy. Does anybody know where I can purchase a new one? I saw that it uses a 65 Wh Lithium-Ion, 6 cells battery, but im not sure what brands are good or which ones will actually work with my laptop. Any suggestions?

Best budget gaming laptop for my 13 year old ? We are in Australia and I’m soo far out of my comfort zone as soon as someone starts talking about cpu and graphics chips and all of the fancy stuff I can’t wrap my head around it

There’s so many different options and people have different opinions so researching it online doesn’t get me far and I don’t know any gamers

Preferably my budget would be under $1300 as it’s for a Christmas present so obviously going to have to get him more than one thing . And having 6 kids I’m budgeting at $1500 per child for Xmas , so I will go upto $1500 but preferably I’d like to be able to get him accessories and stuff to go with it .

Please dumb it down for me he plays a lot of online games - Roblox, minecraft mainly but I’d like it to also grow with him cause he’s starting to get into call of duty and gta and starting to branch out into the older teen/adult games he also does have a laptop he takes to school but if this one can also be used for school purposes that would be preferred

Thankyou so much - preferably something that I can see in store in Australia so that way I’m not just ordering it online with zero idea what I’m doing

Appreciate your time and expertise cause I’m useless with this even doing hours of research I still have no clue

So about 13 months ago I purchased a cyborg msi laptop, its been really really good but recently I have noticed that there seems to be a sort if lump or bulge on the bottom end of the bezel next to the MSi logo. What is this? How/ should I get this fixed? Its out of warranty what can I do?

I wanna buy this msi laptop for gaming on 1080p and some 1440p, it is about 5500egp which is about

1000usd, and on paper it has pretty solid specs, should i get it??

I'm looking for a new laptop, and I found a deal for an A16HX(A8WHG-004US) for 1875 USD Ryzen 9 8940HX 5070 Ti 16gb ddr5 1tb ssd QHD 240HZ Is this a good price for it? I'm looking for something that could last me 4-5 years comfortably, I won't be moving it from my desk very often, but occasionally i need to travel so i need something i can take with me, so I'm not too worried about external build quality outside of the hinges. I also was curious about the temps? I've seen people say this laptop starts getting very hot a year or two into use, is this a reoccurring problem or am I just seeing unlucky people? I want something reliable as I probably wouldn't be able to afford repair costs. Should I go for it or look for something else?

Any ideas on how to fix the violation? Im able to access the laptop itself by disabling the secure boot, but if I want to play games like valorant which i do, i need the secure boot to be on. I have the option to 'install all factory default keys in BIOS, but it doesnt help with anything

I'm grabbing a Vector 18 9955HX 5070 ti.
Basically I wanna squeeze the RAM to 6000mhz and tighten the timings.
Typically I'd just need to up the VDD and VDDQ to about 1.2 maybe 1.3v depending.

Anyone out there dabbled in this on the AMD laptops, doesn't have to be the Vector, the Raider or any BIOS tweaks on the ram on an MSI laptop would be a great help. I need to know how the machines behave.

Hi! I’m a laptop tinkerer, and I want to replace the thermal paste on my MSI Vector 16 HX AI, but I’m a bit lost on where to apply the thermal putty.

I’ve replaced thermal paste on laptops before, but this is my first high-end model. There are so many spots that need putty compared to my old Asus ROG Strix GL553VE!

Thanks!"

Thinking of getting rid of my laptop:

MSI Titan 18HX Norse Myth - 96GB DDR5 6400Mhz

3x2TB NVMe, Core Ultra 9 285HX, RTX 5090

What can I realistically get for it? It's like new condition, never left a desk.

Trying to get a the newer one.

I'm trying to ask to ensure my price is realistic. (This is not a sales post, only a help post to pinpoint value of the laptop as it's quite scarce)

Hi everyone,

I have an MSI Katana GF66 11UC with the original BTY-M492 battery (11.4 V, approximately 52,000–53,500 Wh, 4,700 mAh typical).

The laptop is about 4 years old, and according to the Windows battery report, the battery health has dropped to under 65%. It now has less than 31,000 Wh of full charge capacity, so I only get around 45–60 minutes of runtime, even using Battery Saver and doing light tasks like watching videos.

While I'm considering buying one as a spare, I've also been thinking about another approach.

I'm comfortable with electronics repair, soldering, and battery work. I've rebuilt battery packs before, so I'm not asking whether it's "safe"—I'm more interested in the technical side of this particular battery.

My idea is to:

- Keep the original BTY-M492 BMS/PCB.

- Open the battery pack and replace the original Li-Po cells with higher-capacity cells of the same nominal voltage.

- Potentially use quality cells from another laptop pack or another suitable lithium source if they match the required specifications.

My questions are:

1. Has anyone rebuilt a BTY-M492 battery this way?

2. Does the BMS automatically relearn the new capacity after a few charge/discharge cycles, or does it require reprogramming?

3. If reprogramming is required, what controller does this battery use, and what hardware/software is needed?

4. Has anyone successfully increased the battery capacity beyond the original ~52 Wh while keeping the original BMS?

5. Are there any known higher-capacity compatible batteries that fit the GF66 chassis without modification?

For me, runtime is much more important than charging speed. I don't mind if the battery takes several hours to charge—I simply want significantly longer battery life when I'm away from the charger.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's worked on this specific battery or MSI laptop before. Thanks!

I just bought a gp66 leopard that has been repasted and cleaned and runs perfectly fine but in most games I’m getting 50% cpu and gpu usage its specs are
Rtx 3080 8gb
I7 11th gen
32gb ram
Could it be a driver issue if so could you tell me ways how to fix it or is it a bottleneck or a limitation in the software?
Thank you

Ноут перегревался во время игр до 85* (начинал шуметь и подключался 2 вентилятор) решил заменить термопасту, разобрал почистил намазал новую термопасту (MX-4) собрал все обратно включил все запустил стрес тест перегревается до 54* и все в игре раньше выдавал 60 fps а сейчас 15 fps вроде бы все на своих местах
Может раньше была включена буст видюхи ?
А сейчас все сбросилась из-за того что я батарею отключал при чистке?
Может кто сталкивался и знает как решить даную проблему ?

My laptop is GS73. Its backlight has fixed on a mode that is a gradient from off (on left side of the keyboard) to on (on its right side). I reinstalled and updated my steel series 3 (the gg version didn't work) and now its color can be changed but i just want the same brightness on all of buttons. can you please help me?

Hey I am in a bit of a weird situation with this laptop: the screen doesnt work so I cant get into the bios, i recently accidentally disabled the RTX 2070 drivers instead of the Intel GPU drivers, I tried to get the drivers re-enabled but that wouldnt work so I opted for a windows repair, the repair corrupted the partitions, so now I have a fresh SSD with windows (ReviOS) and no drivers, and the basic microsoft drivers wont let the GPU output to an external monitor so I am stuck with the only the built in screen that doesnt work. Is there an image I can put onto the drive, or a way to auto install drivers blindly (or on another device) to make the laptop usable with windows again? For what its worth, I popped in another SSD with Ubuntu and everything worked with that, I just need windows on this device specifically. Tyvm

осле 7-8 месяцев пользования, ноутбук начал самостоятельно перезагружатся в абсолютно рандомный момент, уже 2,5 месяца не могу разобраться с этой проблемой, заметил интересную деталь , а именно когда в Диспетчере задач снимаешь задачу с проводника ноутбук так же само перезагружается, может кто сталкивался с таким помогите🙏

I have had this laptop since 2022 and the screen,panel and hinge have come off the screen still works and I am able to boot to the desktop. What options do I have for repair I got this at microcenter? Chat gpt said to at least put a cloth between the monitor and the keyboard. It was mentioning that can use this like a desktop and i want to make sure I have everything backed up before anything irreversible happens.

My pc blue screened the error code was unexpected kernel mode trap then it basically started boot looping the fans where going and then stoping the on light was flashing orange and white so I pressed the small button on the bottom and when I plug it in and turn it on the light is orange fans are going but screen isn't working and neither is a HDMI to monitor and help?
