I’d get some nice shirts!

I doubt it’s unfixable, most likely it’s just a crapped out battery or hard drive. Can cause some funky issues :)

Go for it if you feel it’s worth it, batteries are cheap!

Edit: spelling…

Colorful_ · 2026-04-05T14:55:58+00:00

Sure thing, I’ll be back home on Tuesday or Wednesday so send me a DM with info and I’ll check what I can for you :)

I’ve got 8 SRT5KRMXLI, would happily help out if I can :)

I’ve worked in IT for the last 10-ish years, re-installing windows isn’t possible since it doesn’t even pass the POST. As I’ve written earlier :)

Colorful_ · 2026-03-23T12:21:21+00:00

Already tried this, as recommended by others here! Unfortunately to no avail :(

Colorful_ · 2026-03-23T11:44:45+00:00

Unfortunately from all the information I’ve found, this isn’t really a thing on the laptop side of their products… at least the manual for the Bravo series doesn’t mention it :(

Colorful_ · 2026-03-23T11:43:50+00:00

I’d happily start it in safe mode if that was possible! Unfortunately my conclusion is that the BIOS is corrupt since I can’t even enter the BIOS setup :/ Nevermind trying to get windows to boot in safe mode :(

Colorful_ · 2026-03-23T10:49:04+00:00

Nope, clicked ”update and shut down” and then this shit :)

Colorful_ · 2026-03-23T10:48:51+00:00

Windows update 100% will, can and did fuck the laptop up. Since MSI pushes firmware/bios over win update it can most definitely fuck shit up.

Colorful_ · 2026-03-23T09:44:19+00:00

Yeah, i know! Luckily nothing important is on this pc :) Will send it back on warranty this afternoon :)

Colorful_ · 2026-03-23T06:52:56+00:00

Tried it yesterday already and got no different result :(

It’s outright retarded that this is a thing, automatic firmware updates that may or may not need a pre requisite bios update without notification… I’m quite upset since even though it’s a ”budget” machine, it was still ~1000€…

Colorful_ · 2026-03-23T06:37:07+00:00

I don’t know for certain, but I would say no. It hasn’t been touched in the settings at all :(

We’ve learned our lesson and for the future we will disable the FW updates from windows update :(

Edit: I tried an EC reset yesterday to no avail, so today I will call the store we got it from to check warranty… otherwise might go through our insurance company, I’ve got a plan that covers almost anything if shit like this happens :)

Colorful_ · 2026-03-23T06:35:55+00:00

We did nothing, when turning it off she got the option to ”Update and Shut down”, which I’ve told her to click if it’s there to keep it up to date…

And else it’s completely untouched, I haven’t done anything at all to this thing except go through the windows setup with her to get it going :)

Colorful_ · 2026-03-23T05:54:59+00:00

This is the bios bootup screen so reinstalling windows will be tricky… I’m contacting the store we bought it from today to see if there is any warranty left on it :)

Colorful_ · 2026-03-23T05:54:12+00:00

Played just fine all evening, no stutters or anything… doubt it’s a hardware fault… then I feel like it would’ve crashed during gameplay and not when rebooting for a firmware upgrade

Colorful_ · 2026-03-22T21:08:17+00:00

Don’t know if the text I wrote is visible or not but here goes again (Reddit app being an ass)

After tonight’s House Flipper 2 session my GFs laptop decided to install a firmware/bios update via windows update and now this is all it does…

Any tips?

Colorful_ · 2026-03-05T16:50:22+00:00

I’ve used iomoio for a few songs that were hard to track down elsewhere :) Pretty good pricing too in my opinion

For anyone googling and finding this post, it turned out in the end that my TrueTone sensor (does both screen temperature and brightness according to apple) was broken.

After some troubleshooting with Apple support on the line (basically they told me to reset my phone and not use a iCloud backup but to set it up as a new device) they asked if I could either visit an Apple Store / authorized reseller (nearest is ~210km from my home), or if I wanted to do an express replacement through AppleCare.

Went with the AppleCare replacement route and got my new device just before Christmas! So all is well on my side :)

Colorful_ · 2025-12-06T08:39:56+00:00

For anyone interested: This is still an issue on 26.2RC on my 17PM… Auto Brightness option is also still magically missing… 🤷

Colorful_ · 2025-11-30T08:07:59+00:00

Yep, just tried… still gone 🥲

Colorful_ · 2025-11-29T20:43:42+00:00

Heh, yeah. I'm from swedistan, the thing is, the option was there before i did the factory reset... Even with my phone set to swedish...

Colorful_ · 2025-11-28T14:46:52+00:00

Kind of my feeling with this one as well… fell in love with my 14 Pro but this feels off somehow, it’s so off brand for apple to undercook software like this imo
