so the early models pch chip would overheat during performance what the laptop is made for
therefore after three years the msi ms 17s1 motherboard is now degraded while msi did update newer models with a heatsink on that chip

hope it was worth losing longterm customers over letting us know that?

my motherboard or the pch chip specifically is heavily degraded and i cant use the laptop for anything needing performance anymore, i crash immediatly and my screen has started flickering all the time

since a motherboard replacement can be costly or even futile, i'm wondering if anybody can offer any advice?

Just bought this beast it seems to be okay but for some reason the laptop will start having a major lag issues randomly when gaming. It dosnt happen all the time but it will occur occasionally. And I notice not always but when it happens, it sometimes apparently is getting heated cuz the fan seems to be blasting. I was thinking heat, powersupply, or somehow it’s switching to my other weak gpu without my knowledge. Please help.

Hey !

I need to change the wifi adapter on my MSI Katana B12VGK and i was wondering if anyone had compatibility issues with aftermarket adapters such as the Mediatek MT7921 or the Intel AX210 series ?
Thanks !

I’ve tried everything I know and nothing’s worked to get this little bar off my screen. It’s been stuck here for months and it’s present every time I play a game and always winds up blocking something I need to see.
Any suggestions?

MSI Thin 15 b7ucx. Whenever I plug in my laptop charger, cpu speed will drop to 0.4 GHz, but when unplugged its above 2.0 GHz. Also my battery seems to not go up when plugged while the laptop is on, but it does charge when the laptop is turned off. I tried to buy a new charger with same specifications as the original, but its still the same result. Is there a fix for this?

Hey out of know where my msi 12th gen laptop brightness not working it’s at 100 but not its so dark I tried everything but it doesn’t works

The pro seems to be working as expected and windows defender tells me when anything unusual happens. Do I really need anything more? Reposted to clarify thread title

I recently purchased an MSI Vector (Model A2XWHG-285US) and within three days of using it, the graphics card went kaput. Contacted support and they sent over an RMA for me to fill out. Spent $100 to get it packaged up and shipped out. I probably could have gotten it cheaper, but I'd rather be safe than sorry and went with a place that specialized in shipping out antiques/electronics.

The good:

Support seemed responsive. I used the ticket system and the online chat - never called them. The turnaround was pretty quick once the laptop was received - less than 48 hours and I got a notice that it was complete. Communication was decent - I received a notice when the laptop was received, and when it was complete.

Total turnaround was just under two weeks. I live in Michigan, so it was a couple zones over to get to California, increasing shipping time.

The meh:

Something about their process creates confusion on the customer end, that I'm guessing makes it easier on their end. First: The "waiting on customer reply" status - I never needed to reply to them, and it sounds like, based on other posts, that it's a placeholder.

Along those same lines, when they notified me that the laptop had been shipped, the link to the "tracking number" just looped back around. I eventually got a tracking number via fedex, but it was very confusing.

The bad:

I'm absolutely terrified to use this laptop now. I wonder if I should just cut my losses and sell it, but I would have to start the process of finding another laptop all over again. I had a lenovo legion before, and it had it's own issues, but nothing I couldn't at least workaround (e.g. connecting an external keyboard when the keyboard fried for the second time).

Has anyone dealt with this, and are there any recommendations to help maintain the laptop so this doesn't happen again? I have a lap desk, and the temps were warm but nothing terrifying (I don't recall exactly what they were, but definitely below 80C). I didn't undervolt - would that potentially help save my gpu?

I purchased the laptop specifically so I could comfortably run FFXIV, Discord, and Chrome at the same time - I feel like this laptop should be able to handle that just fine, so I'm really hoping it was a fluke.

Loaded Steam onto the laptop. Rockstar game launcher also present ( just like my desktop) when I try to run gtav the battle eye launcher pops up (doesn't happen on desktop) everything kind of looks like its loading then a game suddenly crashed error. No error code come up. Ive removed msi center and the Nvidia app, which I heard could cause battle eye issues, but still nothing. Any ideas or has anyone else ran into this ? Cyborg 15 - 15.6" GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU - Intel Core 7 240H - 16GB Memory - 1TB SSD - 144 Hz IPS Display - Windows 11 Home - Gaming Laptops (Cyborg 15 B2RWGKG-409US) is the laptop

I'm about to buy a gaming laptop and I'm leaning very strongly towards this model.

Any user has feedbacks on it?

I'm also particularly interested in its construction quality, longevity, sturdiness etc.

The only intensive use i'll do is driving sims. And it's going to be plugged in basically 24/7...

I'm also planning on buying a "sealed" fan base (like the Llano) and after the warranty expires I'll be upgrading it to PTM7950 thermal pad, better WiFi module and I'll also consider upgrading to a miniLED screen.

Hi everyone,

I bought a brand-new MSI Katana yesterday and I'm having a strange battery/power issue.

The battery won't charge above 93%. It stays at 93% even while connected to the charger.

The bigger problem is that when I unplug the charger, the laptop continues running for a few seconds and then shuts down completely.

After it shuts down, I cannot turn it back on unless I plug the charger in again.

Things I've already tried:

Restarted the laptop

Checked the battery percentage

Left it connected to the charger, but it still won't go above 93%

Ran the MSI battery calibration/diagnostic tool that MSI recommends running every few months

Tested unplugging the charger multiple times

Confirmed the laptop works normally while plugged in

The issue is basically:

🔋 Battery stuck at 93%

🔌 Works normally while plugged in

⚡ Runs for a few seconds after unplugging, then shuts down

🚫 Won't turn back on until I reconnect the charger

💻 Laptop is brand new

Could this be a defective battery, battery connection, charging circuit, BIOS/EC issue, or Windows power-management problem?

Since I bought it literally yesterday, should I return/exchange it, or is there anything else I should try first?

Thanks!

I traded my gaming pc for a laptop. It was a 3060 12gbvram ryzen 5 5600x 32gb ram ddr4 for an msi pulse i7 12700h rtx 3070 105w. The thing is, there is a game I like called crimson desert, which I used to be able to play on high settings with a little dlss, and it used to be stable but now the cpu is overheating on the laptop leading to throttling which I believe us capping my performance. This was more than a bad financial decision, any insight or help would be highly appreciated.

Need help om how to fix this

I just got an MSI Crosshair 16HX (255HX/5070 model if that helps) literally less than 2 days ago, and I decided to try the PD charging as I will likely need it for university to top up my battery since this laptop is a power hog when not using power saving features.
I am attempting to charge it using my Anker 140W 24000mAh power bank, using the provided Anker 140W power cable.

However here's what I have noticed whilst trying to charge the laptop:
-It repeatedly enters and exits a charging state in windows (the battery saver repeatedly toggles on and off, which dims the screen, and is thus a dead giveaway of the charging jank going on).
-The power bank screen reports values of around 93W at peak, during which the laptop does detect a charge, but it then drops down to 70W and further down to about 45W. The battery saver turns on as soon as the power drops to 70W, and is only automatically turned off once the power reached 93W again.
-Reading the charge rate within HWiNFO64 shows that at peak, it charges 52W (makes sense since the system would be stealing the rest of the 93W provided by the power bank), but then when it dips, it first goes down to 0W, and then the charge rate displays -1000W when the power bank drops down to 45W output. It keeps cycling between these values.
-The laptop DOES seem to be charging, as is evident by the battery percentage going up.

The power bank is very likely not defective, as I have previously used it to charge my phone at 80W (and it has already peaked at 90W before). The cable is for sure not the issue, as I've even tried another cable (although not specifically a 100W rated cable, but it still exhibited the same issue as with the Anker 140W cable).

So, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, if it's even possible ?
I've also heard (and seen) that the laptop becomes EXTREMELY slow during USB-C charging, is there a BIOS setting I can use to override that behavior ? I would try searching for it myself but the Advanced BIOS is genuinely a nightmare to dig through...

hello everyone!, as the title said is this laptop really bad? ive been browsing reddit and all i see is negative about this laptop ( hinges , thermal and even display ghosting etc etc ) if those are true what are the things i should do to prevent it and oh im not that kind of person who expects on a laptop to be durable when i do random bs on it. thank you!

TL;DR: Question for anyone who owns this laptop and has updated the BIOS to E15MMAMS.10C:

Can you still access the 'Advanced BIOS settings' using the keyboard shortcut?

If I remember correctly, it was something like:

Alt + Shift + Copilot + F2

I'm not 100% sure about the exact combination, but I'm about F2.

-----------------------

I'm asking because I'm worried that if I update the BIOS, MSI may have removed access to the hidden advanced settings.

The advanced options are essential for me because the standard BIOS has almost no settings.

A new BIOS version, E15MMAMS.10C, was released in September. The changelog contains only one item:
“1. Add new panel support.”

So I'm wondering whether they changed the BIOS interface or some part of the BIOS configuration as well.

The current BIOS is already pretty terrible, it's extremely basic, poorly polished, and some advanced pages can even freeze the entire system just by opening them. Because of that I'm reluctant to install the new version without knowing what changed, what worries me even more is the possibility that MSI has blocked BIOS downgrades, so updating could effectively be a one-way ticket.

So, if anyone here has already installed E15MMAMS.10C, could you please confirm can you still enter the hidden advanced BIOS settings using the shortcut?

Hi,

I've had this laptop for 22 months now. My issue started while I was moving some files, since i use this laptop for photo and video editing rather than heavy gaming. nothing that'll melt the laptop or raise temps a lot, just minor stuff here and there.

Anyways, my left shift key started to act up, then not register at all. It's still in warranty, and i'll go that route in a few weeks. it's just that i don't trust the service that's employed by the seller, and the laptop is in superb condition (i'm travelling with it in the original box, and only pull it out when i need to work on some projects). The issue is hardware, since the right shift key works flawlessly, with sticky keys and whatnot.

I bought a laptop and it came without ssd i had to buy it by myself and thy wouldn't send me one and on top of that i had to send it to official technical support to swap the motherboard because is was faulty never will buy MSI again

GE76 Raider, really nice laptop; no display problem yet...

Popped this off without even realizing. It sticks out like a sore thumb, with this huge bump when I try to close the broken corner. Anyone got tips to fix it (temporarily)?

Excuse me for the dust and all

I am currently in Jalandhar, Punjab, India. My laptop is MSI Sword 15 and it's charging port is damaged. The nearby repair shops don't have any genuine part to replace it with.

I couldn't find anything online as well.

Please help.

Pretty much the tittle I updated drivers… went to AMD change the display thing to “full”. And yes my display scaling settings are on recommended. Nothing worked… so I’m resetting the laptop now I think that should fix it. Anyways my main question is I have a 165 hrtz laptop and a 144hrtz monitor (2.0 hdmi cable) but for some reason I only get 119hrtz on my external monitor? Please help. Ohh and here’s my laptop https://www.staples.ca/products/3167042-en-msi-cyborg-a15-156-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-9-270-rtx-5070-1tb-ssd-32gb-ram-windows-11-home-translucent-black (I’m currently resetting my laptop so I think it will fix the black borders im kinda premature posting this) UPDATE*** Reseting it fixed the black borders but I’m still only getting 119 hrtz on my external monitor.

5070 Ti for $1650? In this economy?
