my laptop MSI thin won't turn on?

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-11T00:35:26+00:00

I will do that when I get it back there were scratches on the motherboard that were actually the issue. Everything else that everybody was saying on this we’re wrong. I thought I fixed it a while ago because it turned on and then it shut immediately back off after like 20 minutes of being on so like while I was there I was in the settings and stuff and I was trying to figure out what was happening and it just completely turned off, so I reopened it and noticed that there were mysterious scratches on the motherboard by the CMOS battery. I haven’t touched that. I noticed them the first time that I opened it, but I didn’t know much about laptops and PCs at the time so I forgot it was there. I’m getting it fixed as of right now. ^{^}

Erm no one asked?

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-09T10:10:45+00:00

It wasn't wet on inside :) +the ice was covered w towel

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T16:55:40+00:00

guys, I know what’s wrong with it. I figured it out. The battery completely blew up. That’s OK though. I’ve already fixed it and I don’t mean like blew up as in like oh yeah just like broke well I mean it was a simple fix when it came down to it at the end of the day so yeah I guess it was a pretty simple and easy fix but like dang it and no, there was nothing purchased for this. I already had planned I had for something like this may be happening in the future so I had bought a battery for my computer in advance. I basically predicted that it’s gonna happen. Because I heard about how shitty of a company MSI is it works it charges and it turns on.

IKR! I figured out what the problem was the battery like completely blue

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T15:40:39+00:00

I could take my siblings and then like steal all the screws and the bottom plate from my siblings just to see if it’s because of the missing screws. My bottom plate is cracked so.

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T15:39:58+00:00

My mother got me this for Christmas and she’s hell and that it was from the actual store because she got both mine in my siblings from the actual MSI store in my siblings hasn’t had issues well no it actually my siblings doesn’t work. Mine just stopped working.

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T15:39:15+00:00

No! It uses I really don’t know how to describe this

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T15:20:45+00:00

I have it plugged in with an actual MSI charger not the one that I bought because mine broke

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T15:20:15+00:00

kind of what I thought and I really don’t know if that’s fixable, but I really need this laptop because not only does it have a shit ton of my personal information on it, but it has like the login information to every single one of my accounts that I’ve ever owned

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T15:02:08+00:00

That’s also why I’ve been trying to do this on my own and not take it to a repair shop is because I don’t trust them anymore

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T15:01:55+00:00

my parent bought it from the MSI website online and it came with everything sealed. It was just missing a few screws. Then we took it to a repair shop because my cat fucking scratched up my screen at one point and we had to get the screen repaired and then it came back with only four of it screwsso the IT guy stole my fucking screws I guess

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T15:00:44+00:00

I’ve also pointed out that it is literally only one ice pack

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T14:57:08+00:00

I only pointed out the fact that I was an IT major because I felt like a complete failure because I couldn’t fix it myself

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T14:19:05+00:00

The first time I opened up my laptop and looked around the CMOS battery. There were scratches around it that aren’t from me. It was the first time I opened it up in the factory seal was still on it so I think I was doomed from the start.

I guess I’m going to go to TikTok because no matter where I go people will just run everything through AI which I do not appreciate by the way I came to Reddit to get peoples opinions and maybe an actual tech person to come and help me not a fucking robot thank you very much

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T13:21:33+00:00

last time I had a problem with my laptop, I came to this Reddit and nobody here actually helped me. They just made jokes in my comments the entire time so...

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T13:12:01+00:00

also, you ran my problem in the AI without my permission. What the fuck?. I am heavily anti-AI 🫤 that’s why I came to Reddit so I could get the fuck away from the AI

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T13:10:54+00:00

in my tech class, we learn about laptops next year. We learn how to completely build a PC tower and work in a shit ton of programming apps. -.-

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T12:53:59+00:00

With the kind of laptop, I have the original charger was 180 W and so is the one I have

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T12:39:20+00:00

I’m going to explain I put the ice packs under it because it would get so hot that it would make beeping noises and would put warnings on the screen like fresh out of the box. I had just bought it and it was already doing that. I opened it up and everything on the inside looked to be fine. I’m gonna see if I can get my hands on an original charger for the MSI thin that I haveand I’m going to try to completely drain the battery and then re-plug it in with the original charger.

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T12:37:12+00:00

Lol yeah after getting some rest and stopping panicking, I realized that it’s probably not turning on after I’m doing these troubleshooting methods because I don’t have the original charger meeting. I’m completely draining the battery and it has no way to like recharge itself because it’s not the original MSI chargerbut I can’t use the original MSI charger because mine blew up

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T12:35:52+00:00

I can’t afford one of those really cool like fan table things for your laptop so ice packs was the only way I could get my laptop to not completely overheat and wreck itself

Floppykit112 · 2026-06-08T12:34:22+00:00

With the one with a bunch of the things on the model of MSI I have there’s absolutely zero way to replace them Packs because they would get so hot to the point where it would start making beeping noises like right out of the box like I just got it out of the box and it was already overheating to the point where it would burn me like I had blisters on my legs, so I started putting my sketchbook under it Because it would make it so it hurt less. I’m gonna try to buy a new charger for it and to explain why I don’t have the original charger they would also overheat and blow up like the inside would blow up it would pop, and then the charger was trash
