White Screen on MSI GS70

I work on my MSI GS70 from what I think the first generation for now 14 month and all of a sudden I got a total White screen when I boot. Because I know how to get in my user session by heart, I can get to my desktop then plug a HDMI and see that my laptop's still working. But the LCD remains totally white. I can still adjust the luminosity with the Fn+arrow up and down. Anyway there's nothing.
Yesterday in the evening, my laptop worked flawlessly, this morning, I putted it in my camera backpack where I have a perfectly fit 17inch laptop padded slot then took it out few hours later to transfer videos I just shot and only got a white screen. The backpack was never dropped hard or anything. I think I'm two month off the warranty, I mean, damn, paying $2000 for a laptop that doesn't last even a year and a half... it's so disappointing. Any ideas what's the best thing to do?
Thank you

     If  your laptop still work as you plugged a HDMI ,you can rule out the possibility of VGA problem. The cause of white screen might be  defective contact of your LCD cable( http://i01.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/32236377643/Laptop-LVDS-Screen-Cable-For-font-b-MSI-b-font-font-b-GS70-b-font-font.jpg ). ←what it seems like.
     You can make sure that whether the original LCD cable is well-connected with the LCD or not first. If the problem still exists after reconnecting the LCD cable, you can probably  try to exchange a new LCD cable .

    if your getting desktop display on tv then this sounds like more as an display cable is glitched out of port causing it to show white display so do this angle display forward and backwards a bit and see if display flickers from white to normal then back to white if that appears then the display cable isnt connect propertly which MSI Service can quickly fix

  • MSI GS70 2QE - Screen Askew

    Hi,
    I bought an MSI GS70 2QE last week. I've noticed the screen is ever so slightly askew, its minor but its offputtng given the price of the laptop. I'm currently in talks with the place I bought it from who are saying they cant see the issue and have contacted MSI who also dont see the issue.
    Can any MSI board members comment on the following images.
    You'll notice if you zoom in on the left and right lower hand sides of the screen where it sits neatly next to the laptop body there is more of the black bezel showing on the right hand side.

    They are saying not. They are happy to take the laptop back and look at it but if they don't see the issue they will return it to me. I've given them the exact photo. Everyone at work can see it etc, but I'm concerned they will see the issue and consider this within manufacturers tolerances. This will mean the laptop will have done a round trip to their office, been inspected and returned, something I don't fancy on a laptop costing over £1600.
    I've asked if they will allow m to pay a restocking fee but they don't seem to want to do this either.
    The issue is definitely there but I think its a case of whether I'm being too fussy or not. I don't believe I am.

  • MSI Power Edition R7850 White Screen

    I have been constantly atleast once a week been suffering from these blank white screens while using my PC not necessarily playing games. It even gets into this screen while browsing some sites. I have to forcefully restart the system using the restart button everytime this happens.
    The card is not being overclocked using the afterburner and infact is running at its core clock speed of 950 mhz all the while. Any help would be appreciated greatly.
    Attaching an image. I even have an video can upload it to youtube if required.

  • Msi ge700 switchable graphics white screen problem

    help me plssssss...... my msi ge-700 has wihte screen on the ati hd radeon 5730 graphics card. but when i switched it on the intel graphics, the screen works fine. When I plugged my laptop in an external monitor using ati gpu, it works fine. what should i do????? i disassembled my laptop, i plugged and unplugged the lcd connection several times, nothing happened. Still white screen on the ati gpu, but not on the intel gpu.
    T_T

    Based on the cross validation you did, it looks like either the build in panel or the cable has the problem. (so that's why a reconnecting isn't working)
    I'd suggest to visit the nearby service center for a check.
    Good luck!

  • Help: MSI GS70 Stealth Pro 210- GPU Enables On CPU Idle?

    Hello, my laptop has recently developed an issue where my GTX 870M GPU will activate only when I leave my PC idle for approximately 2-3 minutes. I tried to let the laptop idle and then hover over the GPU activity notification, but as soon as I move my mouse, the GPU deactivates. I also tried to see what process is causing it by leaving my mouse hovering over the Nvidia GPU Activity notification and letting it idle, but the GPU activity window closes before I can see the process. Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem? I do have Kaspersky Pure, so I don't believe it's a virus issue. Any suggestions are well appreciated. Thanks!

    Going to try it on my msi gs70 and update it to you chc and whewlett if it works or not
    Update: I can now confirm that it was nvidia experience doing the gpu switching up on idle since once i removed it on my laptop my laptop screen went bit dark and power button stayed white but i did hear cpu or gpu fan do fast noise but went quiet again but nvidia gpu didnt become active this time.
    I even also noticed removing this program has even lowered temps on cpu a bit too since cpu temp usually be 45-49c as idle but now it's 41c.
    Thanks for the update. 

  • MSI GS70 - 2014 - GTX870m - Build Problem

    Hi everyone,
    I have received a MSI GS70 and I need your opinion regarding the physical look of the machine.
    In my opinion there has been a manufacturing mistake with the model I received.
    I find the space between the screen and the central front speaker and can see what looks like black and white cables and what looks like a piece of metal, I believe it is not normal, so I would like to know if anyone with a GS70 has the same look because I am considering to send it back.
    Also I encounter problem with the Bluetooth connection which disconnect from my mouse.
    And Titanfall doesn't start but I will mention those problem in other subjects.
    thanks,

    May I know how you reset BIOS?  And your BIOS version is?
    From your picture, it looks like audio driver conflicts, because there are many audio devices in the device managers.
    There is a special reset hole, on the right side. BIOS Version E1773IMS.10D
    It's not audio driver conflicts, the system is clean, only drivers from official MSI page.
    This is bios side problem,OS reinstallation does not help, only bios reset or flash unlocked bios to be able to enable audio device again.

    Quotes "Overall, MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro Red Edition is a stylish gaming notebook with a 17.3-inch screen, and which is also light and thin so users won't feel uncomfortable while carrying it. There is no heat issue of this product since it has Dula Fan thermal cooling system. With GTX970M GDDR5 and mSATA SSD equipped, that show MSI never compromise the performance of its product."

  • MSI GS70 Stealth - Micro-freeze while gaming

    Hello,
    I just bought a new MSI GS70 Stealth laptop recently (about 2 month ago) and since the start I'm having some problem while gaming. When playing most games, for example League of Legends, Path of Exile and many more I have, now and then, a screen freeze that last about 1 second. My FPS stays the same, so does my ping. It happens not only after a while of gaming and I don't think it has something to do with overheat (I think).
    That's for the problem, now I'll answer the few basic questions I know I'll probably be asked :
    - My power plan is High performance
    - I'm on windows 8.1 Update 1
    - I am plugged in when this happens
    - I updated Intel drivers and Nvidia drivers to the latest
    That's about it, so if you need more information just tell me what and how to get it and I'll post it as soon as possible!
    Thanks! 

    I did three tests, one at rest, the other one after a freeze, and the last one before a freeze.
    At rest :
    Before a freeze :
    After a freeze :
    When the freeze happens, we can see that the last bar (Highest reported hard pagefault resolution time) goes from 55621 to 2361273... I guess we might have found something!

    Review Conclusion
    Quotes: "The GS70 we test today has been introduced to the market for a while, that is why its a bit heavy for this machine to run the latest games. Even though the screen fluency is not perfect, it turns out to be quite enjoyable to play on this thin and 17" screen laptop, only the temperature is a bit high. The battery life is not great, but for a laptop as thin as GS70, we don't expect more. Moreover, this model is a bit old and you know how time will affect this factor."

  • When I login to second user account I get a blank white screen.

    Just updated to 10.8.3, was also having issues that seemed to be related to Spotlight and TM backups. Issues on my main user account seem to have been resolved, but I have not reactivated Spotlight or TM yet.

    Library/Fonts:
    [A hole bunch, removed to shorten post...]
    Does the problem account also have a lot of fonts in the home folder? That could be the reason for a login failure. Otherwise see below.
    Please read this whole message carefully, especially the warnings, before doing anything.
    1. The changes to your configuration suggested here should be considered provisional; they may not solve your problem, or they may remove functionality that you find useful. If a third-party system modification that you want to keep is causing the problem, seek help from its developer.
    2. WARNING: Back up all data now if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state, even if it becomes unbootable. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP — DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING. If you’re dissatisfied with the results of the procedure suggested below, restore from your backup. I will not be responsible for the consequences, and I will not be able to help, if you ignore this warning.
    3. You should either remove or update the following system modification(s), if an update is available from the developer:
    N/A
    and definitely remove at least the following:
    Logitech Control Center
    † PeerGuardian
    Hotspot Shield
    † Conduit
    4. Whatever you remove must be removed completely, and (unless otherwise specified in this message) the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job. I can't be more specific, because I don't install such things myself. Please do your own research.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    Again, please don't ask me to do this research for you. You can do it better than I can, because I haven't installed the product and I may not even know what it is.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.
    5. I recommend that you never reinstall the modifications marked with a dagger (†) above, if any. If your problem is resolved after uninstalling all the above modifications and rebooting, but you still want to use some of those not marked with a dagger, you can experiment with putting them back, one at a time, testing carefully after each step. Keep in mind that system modifications may be incompatible with each other or with future OS X updates, so it may not be clear which one is at fault.
    6. If you still have problems after making the suggested changes and rebooting, post again. Remember: if you don’t like the results of this procedure, you can undo it by restoring from the last backup you made before you started.
    You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, back up all data, then follow the instructions on this page:
    Help Center | Community Toolbar
    If those instructions don't work, proceed as follows.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). From the Finder menu bar, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder…
    Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "Conduit" selected. If it does, delete the selected item.
    Repeat with this line:
    /Applications/Toolbars
    Now you're deleting a folder named "Toolbars". You may be prompted for your login password. Next, copy this line:
    /Library
    Select Go to Folder… again and paste. Don't delete the Library folder. Delete only the following items inside it, if they exist.
    Application Support/Conduit
    InputManagers/CTLoader
    LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
    Close the Finder windows you opened. Log out and log back in.
