MSI GT60-0NC laptop suddenly shut off, will not turn on again. Please help.

Hi there,
I purchased the laptop back in May 2013. Today I was using it and I just launched a game on Steam when suddenly it turned off immediately. It wouldn't boot back up again. I tried pressing down the power button for 1 minute (without AC power) and then connected the power supply and tried to boot but it would not.
It did not overheat and I opened the bottom and cleaned all the dust to be sure. The battery is fully charged.  I tried booting again but it wouldn't work. I live in India and I purchased the laptop in Kuwait. Seeing that there are no MSI service centers here is worrying me. Anyone had a similar problem? Any solutions?

I just had the same problem.  The power button flashes white for a sec, but nothing starts up.  The disk drive wouldn't even open, so it's probably a fried motherboard.  I just sent mine in for RMA, so it'll be a while before I get mine back.  I live in the US though, so I don't know how you're going to get service.
Not much help from me, but sending it in is probably the best solution.  As for where, well, I can't help you there.

  • I have a G72 laptop that will not turn on! Please help

    Hello,
    I have a G72 laptop that will not turn on. The power button simply does nothing. I know that the battery is at least charging because when I plug it in, the LED indicator is white saying that it is charged. Sometimes when I take the battery out and put it back in it starts up for a split second, then a second or two later shuts off. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hi Selena1515,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the iPod Touch will not turn on and a button is not working. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • T60 suddenly switches off, will not power on again, DVD drive related?

    I have searched and searched for this, and although finding many "T60 will not power up" I haven't 
    found any with this twist.
    My T60 is ~2 years old, and the problem just started recently. Working on battery one day, the laptop 
    suddenly died - like instant loss of power. I could not turn it on again. One strange thing though: 
    When I removed the battery and re-inserted it, the batt-icon-light came on briefly (a blink). If I then pushed the power button it lit up for 1 sec and then went out, not booting. Repeating it, without removing the battery, it didn't light up.Ok, thinking maybe the power supply was dead, I took it completely apart, removing also the harddrive and the DVD drive. By chance I then saw that it had "fixed itself". I resembled it and it worked again, powering up like nothing had happend.
    Then it happened again yesterday. I read in here about the "push power 10 times, hold power down 30 sec" etc, but had no luck with that. Again, when I inserted the adapter cable the light came on (power plug + batt light) but when pushing the power button they went off, and if I removed and reinserted the plug same thing again.
    I then read about removing HDD and DVD drive, and that did it! So, it happened again today and this time I just removed the DVD - and it booted again. 
    So, after this loong description here I hope that some of you have tried/seen this before or have an idea what it can be. I left the DVD drive out, and it has not happened again...yet (it's been 5 hours only). 
    Ideas?
    Thanks in advance!
    Martin.

    Hi Nordal,
    I know this is an old thread, but since I too am now experiencing inability to startup by T60 and seems to be getting worse in the last months, I was wondering what additional things you may have learned in the last 2 years since facing this issue.  My system will typically be in standby or hibernate and when I open lid to start it up again, Power and Bat light go out and cannot start it.  No beep codes, nothing.  Previously, recovery was to pull battery (which is now new Lenovo as of last month and working great), hit power button a few times and then hold it in, put battery back in and AC adapter, then it would start up.  In last few days, this no longer works.  I have to go through similar step, but now I have to startup only with battery, once in Desktop, I can plug in adapter and no issue until next time.  I have three 90W AC adapter all putting out correct 19.5-20 VDC.  Have rulled out an adapter issue, I believe.  Concerned about something on motherboard being flaky, but cannot pinpoint issue.  A few days ago when this happened, I had to pull CMOS battery, wait a few min., then put everything back together and was able to boot.
    Have never pulled anything more than RAM, CMOS battery, main battery, and AC adapter.  May have to try DVD drive next time.
    Thanks,

    It's probably best to start a new thread instead of reopening one thats 2-3years old, but from what your describing it sounds like your slowly ruling out everything except the system board, nothing you don't know already.
    I don't normally deal with T60's, my main focus is T61, but I do have a source for the boards if you were to need one, as well as having a source to get the older boards reflowed. Some of the older models had problems with solder connections cracking when the board would flex, which can be repaired on an infrared reballing machine. My friend Dominic (realblackstuff from thinkpadforums.com) operates a website where boards are collected and sent off to be reflowed in wholesale lots. It's quite reasonably priced, as are the T60 boards pulled form grade "A" corporate laptops, but lets hope you can find a lesser component that is causing the problems.

  • MSi GT70 - 0NE-276us Sudden Power Off/Will not Stay On

    First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read about my problem. No sob story, however this is my only computer and it was/is my work machine in the IT Administrative/Deskside Workplace. Any ideas are welcome.
    I have an MSi GT70-0NE 276us Laptop. I bought it last year (Christmas). I was playing a game on Steam when suddenly the machine turned off. Using my troubleshooting experience, here is what I tried:
    -Removing the battery and power supply from the machine and holding power button for 1 minute
      -After testing with ONLY the battery inside the machine, pressing the power button makes a white flash and a shimmer of light sent to the keyboard, but doesnt actually turn on. It does this upon each keypress and does not skip a beat.
    - I tried to connect the power supply directly into the laptop WITHOUT the battery connected, and it does the same thing. As for the battery indicator light, it does not stay on as it normally would when the power is connected to it.
      NOTE: I have NEVER used my laptop WITHOUT the power cord connected; it is always attached since I know its a power hog.
    - I have checked for any smells of burning/melting and there are none. The laptop was also not that hot when it cut off suddenly.
    - Ive blown the mainboard/underside with compressed air and removed all of the dust
    - Ive made sure the fan was clear and connected
    - Ive reseated the RAM
    - I have NOT tried another power brick; the one I received was refurbished.
    - The LED on the power brick lights up but nothing is coming into the machine
    - I have not had the laptop 10 months and its always connected to the wall/power outlet
    So if it is the motherboard, I wouldnt be too surprised but Ive know MSi to make excellent motherboards, hence the reason I spent 2500.00 on it. A fellow IT friend said I may want to try a new power supply that has the exact specs your laptop needs. As if its possible the load on the end of the power brick that goes into my laptop may be done for.
    I removed the Battery and noticed this:
    The inside of the laptop after removing the battery say
    MS 1762
    DC Rating 19V=9.5A
    My Battery says (MSi battery)
    11.1 Vdc = 7800mAh, 87 Wh
    ..But the power brick reads
    Input 100-240 V ~2A 50-60Hz
    Output 19.5 Volts =7.7 A
    He suggested trying a new power suppy but Im concerned its the motherboard (because us IT Guys know the motherboard will get you everytime)
    So is it possible? Im not sure why they may have given me the wrong power brick, if it is wrong. He says the specs dont add up, and since each time I press the button and the white light flickers and part of the keyboard, he said it may be the power bricks' node that connects to my machine. Im used to motherboards that are done for the machine shows no sighns, no hints, no flickers. This is atleast flickering, just not coming on .
    I know its alot to read and I appreciate all of the techs/other users time.

    Thanks guys. Your input is not falling on deaf ears and it seems im getting reputable support via the forums with the MSi tech team.
    It really is so weird. Today I tried the process of elimination from a video I saw on you tube. Now, keep in mind, each time the power button is pressed with either their power brick/battery alone in the machine, the power light and the 'battery' indicator light at the front of the machine flicker (each keypress; even if you do it rapidly).
    I took the bottom tray off and checked the fan and blew it out with compressed air. Checked the thermal paste under the processor heatsink, checked the processor condition and all looks well there.
    Tested by removing one connection at a time then testing for power (all along while testing, keep in mind I only have the 19.5v 7.7 amp power brick.)
    - removed D:/ drive secondary  then checked for continuity; no luck
    - removed all 4 ram sticks and tested one at a time with the power supply connected; no continuity
    - removed the keyboard ribbon cable and tested; still no luck
    - removed (what I believe to be) the usb ribbon cable (hub with 3.0 ports) and tested for any indicator lights; still no luck
    - unplugged the cmos for 5 mins and reconnected; still no luck
    *NOTE: when I look underneath of the laptop when pressing the power button, the fan that has the gpu and the cpu heatsinks up against, it actually spins for a brief second; about as long as the power button flashes.
    I stopped at some stores looking for a 180+ watt adapter and i couldnt find one that carried it. I wanted to test it before purchasing, so Ive avoided online purchase up to this point. However, I do realize I need one anyway at this point regardless.
    My buddy has his own PC Repair shop. He doesnt have a power brick of that magnitude, but cant we get a voltmeter and check for continuity from not only the power supply, but also the jack soldered on the motherboard?
    He is saying kinda what Dark is saying... Me, I think its a short somewhere... he thinks the computer asked for too much power from the power supply and probably burnt out the tip because at the time it cut off, I was playing a graphic intensive game, and in my USB 3.0 ports on a single hub, I had the following connected:
    - A Logitech USB headset (wired)
    - an XBOX 360 wired controller
    - A Logitech G700 gaming mouse charging
    Ive never had that many power hungry devices connected to one hub at one time before.

    I will probably go to the Genius bar tomorrow, just thought I'd see if anyone else had a similar problem
    Thanks

    Hold power and home until apple logo appears.
    And make sure the outlet is good.
    Or try the first but by plugging it in.

    The Ipad Air was working fine - then it went blank. It will not turn on again. It was fully charged It is less than 2 months old.

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

    You may have more than one issue, but the most important one is that your internal hard drive is failing, or there is some other hardware fault.
    Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
