MSI GE70 Laptop will start but won't boot

Hello
I've had my GE70 for almost two and a half years now and it has recently started to show a few problems.
A couple weeks ago the laptop started to freeze whenever I moved it too abruptly, particularly when holding/pressing the case near where the HDD is installed.
Now, I took it on a trip with me, and when I tried to turn it on, the fan would spin, the CD/DVD drive would run, and the power light would also turn on, but it wouldn't boot (won't even get to BIOS, just a black screen). The laptop doesn't boot because capslock/numlock lights do not turn on. The HDD seems to be working because its light blinks once as soon as I try to turn it on.
I've tried:
1. Swapping memory card slots
2. Removing the memory cards and turning on (motherboard does not beep, is that a signal that something's wrong with the motherboard?)
3. Reseting the EC
However, nothing seems to work. Can't send it to a MSI repair shop because I am currently living in Brazil and apparently there's no MSI official repairer here.
Any ideas on how to solve the problem?
Thanks!

Try to remove all the storage devices and see if you can enter the BIOS menu.
If not, then it's likely that sending it to the service center will be your only hope.

ITunes Will Start But.........

iTunes Will Start But it'll then say: Runtime Error! Program C:/Program Files/iTunes/iTunes.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. And at the top in blue it says: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. And if you click ok at the bottom it'll exit by itself. Please help me and tell me what to do!!!

I recommend you do as LexSchellings and I are telling you to do. If you have uninstalled iTunes and the reinstalled it from Apple's website and it still does not work, you will have to contact the Apple Technical Support section for them to guide you through steps to try and get it working.

I can't download the Adobe Premiere Elements 13. Akamai Download pop up only the download window but downloading do not start. Alternate download Method will start but downloading will stopped always after 655 Megabytes. I have tried with different browsers, fire wall and virus protection off and also to download the trial of Adobe Premiere Elements 13 but result is every time same.

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-13-direct-download-links-premiere.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

IMac with bootcamp and parallel boots into windows 7 but won't boot into Mac OS lion?

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion. Actually that was not the problem, because I had the Mcintosh drive set as my boot drive. The answer was that my Lion Os got somehow corrupted and I had to reinstalll Lion. This was all after I discussed the situation with the Apple Support people.

MSI GE70 2OE-029CZ Start-up problems, please help

Hello guys. My name is Mike and I need some help from you. Half year back I bought notebook MSI GE70 2OE-029CZ from Czech Republic and it wont boot up now. I used this notebook normally without problems until now. Four days back I finished my work and turned notebook off. Next day, after I came back home, I turned notebook on and suddenly it turned off after 4 seconds. It showed only MSI logo, I did not get in to bootloader. Then I turned it on again and same thing happened again. Except it was running only 1-2 seconds. After this notebook did not start up again. I have checked power supply with voltmeter and got suitable voltage. I did let the battery to discharge little over night and in the morning I tried to put it on charger. The battery diode lighted up. But still could not start it up. I already filled out MSI Service webform yesterday, but still did not get any response. Im just posting it here if someone of you has some idea i could try. Also does anyone got any idea why are mine audio jacks not golden? They are just black. I supposed they had to be golden plated. Sorry for my bad grammar, I am not born English speaker . Thank you for you help and time.

Hello,
I am sorry you experience this problem and probably I would be frustrated if such a thing would happen to me.
Sorry if I dis-read something, but have you tried turning the laptop ON without the battery just with charger? And other way around (with FULL battery but no charger)?
About HDD: you can take it out, but would be BEST if you make backup somewhere once you take it out and send it TOGETHER with the laptop, as the problem might be somewhere with the wires.

Safari 4.0.3 Starts but won't display any windows properly

Since accepting the update to Safari 4.0.3 this morning, Safari starts but will not display any windows, just the main application menu bar.
Trying new window has no effect and launching a history item either has no effect or safari crashes complaining that the crash could have had something to do with
libcooliris.dylib
I therefore removed /Library/InputManagers/Cooliris but this made no difference.
History flow displays but won't launch any windows and strangely Menu>History>Home opens a window but there are no tabs nor URL nor search bar, but there is only the history bar. The window is all grey including where the page should be.
Trying to open other history items in this window changes the title, but no page contents are displayed.
I also tried reinstalling 4.0.3. from the Apple website, but this made no difference.
Have you any idea what I could try next?
Thanks

Deleted all from /Library/InputManagers and problem solved.
I did have the following:
Cooliris
QuicKeysIM
Saft
DeliciousSafari
SIMBL
TabExpose
Not sure where the problem was, but did find the following in the log after running permissions fix in Disk Utility:

What does this mean and what can I do to fix it?
I'll now try to load the addins one by one to locate the problem.

Vista laptop sees printer but won't connect

Vista laptop sees printers on xp server network but won't let me connect telling me "access denied" and "you do not have sufficient rights to perform this operation". What's up with this?

Yes, getting XP and Vista to share correctly is no small feat. I don't think you have a printer, printer software or driver problem. I think you have a Windows sharing problem. Have you googled for solutions in other areas? Microsoft's forums?
I was able to help someone else yesterday with this post (and some of their ingenuity as well). Maybe it will help.

My iMac starts, but won't get past the loading screen?

My iMac starts up, but won't even get past the white screen with the Apple logo.
It kept giving me black screens, and would not start in safety mode. After command + option + p + r, the black screens stopped coming, but it still won't get past the loading screen, if I let it load long enough the Apple logo is replaced by a "denied" symbol but that is the only thing that happens. By hitting command + d, I was told nothing is wrong. When pressing command + r and going to disk utility, it found an issue while verifying and repairing. At first it stated "invalid journal" but now it only says to reinstall everything and that the problem couldn't be solved. I cannot mount the harddrive, and Time Machine just searches for copies without getting anywhere. When I try installing OS X (Mavericks) again, the harddrive doesn't even show up. What do I do?

The HD sounds like it has crashed, take it into your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP), if you bought AppleCare this will be covered. If you don't have an Apple Store in your area and don't know of any AASPs then please click https://locate.apple.com/country to begin finding one.

IMac hard drive failing; external TM will restore but won't then back up

It appears my early 2009 (OS X 10.9.5) hard drive is failing as it crashed 6 months ago, in November and again this week. SMART Utility says it has re-allocated 6 bad sectors and there has been 1 re-allocated event. Each Time I have successfully restored from an external hard drive with TM on it. Prior to the November fail, CCC reported an odd (unknown to me system file) corrupt file but, instead of replacing the file as perhaps I should, I decided to re-boot which it wouldn't do and hence the November TM restore.
However, despite restoring successfully the external TM will no longer make back ups. I have tried repairing it but it is greyed out and Verify says 'unable to complete.' Eventually I did get the greyed out button to work but Repair reported:

Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.
Whilst pondering this, the hard drive crashed again this week. Bizarrely I was able to restore from the very same external TM that will not let me do further back ups nor be repaired.
I wonder if there are any further checks I can do to establish if my iMac hard drive is failing? I will then decide whether to replace the hard drive - I see I can fit a WD 6TB with the jumpers set to reduce the speed to 3GB/s - or buy a new iMac.
I wonder also whether there is anything I can do to preserve my TM back ups. I realise I am being guided to re-format this external drive, but can I do that and then add back the actual existing back ups (which I would transfer to another disk before re-formatting) rather than start again from no history newly formatted?

It boots up to where its just my background and the Finder bar but then crashes, so I can't click anything. Anything from here or am I just screwed?
There are a few remaining options.
If you have another Mac with a FireWire port, try FireWire Target Disk Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
You need a FireWire cable to connect the two Macs. This will allow you to mount your failing HD on a working Mac and copy files that way.
Try Safe Mode - read about it first:
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components.
Starting up in Safe Mode
This assumes the Finder is crashing due to a third party system extension or optional system component that Safe Mode will prevent from loading. You should still be able to copy files directly to an external device, but file sharing will be disabled.
Lastly boot from the DVD again, repair the disk again, reinstall OS X, and keep your fingers crossed. You're squeezing the last drops of life from the thing.

Preview starts but won't display pdfs

Hi,
my macbook with 10.5.2 will not let me open pdfs using Preview while logged in as myself. Preview will start and display its buttons but not display the file. Other users on the same mac can do. I suspect one of the prefs. Deleting com.apple.preview.plist didn't help. What else can I do?
Thanks, Hans

It sound like something in your User Library. Try dragging the whole preferences folder to your desktop and reboot. That way it should tell you if it's possibly another preference file. You can drag it back if doesn't help, and reboot.
