MSI Pulse GL66: This thing is completely dead.

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 19:23:14 -0700

So a month or two ago, I was in the middle of playing some video games when it randomly turned off, since then its refused to turn on for me, the keys will light up but they'll soon shut back down. I have something similar to a donor laptop if I need new parts, but since that one is also broken I'm not entirely sure it'll work.The only thing I know for sure is that the issue isn't the ram, because I tested turning it on with a different set I had. I just need some sort of help on how to get this thing to work again. I dont have any soldering equipment, just some basic tools, but any help is appreciated.

MSI Laptop: MSI Raider GE76 12UE making loud screeching noise

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 14:10:06 -0700

Hello all!

My wife's MSI Raider GE76 12UE (i9-12900H, RTX 3060, 64GB RAM, 2x M.2 SSD) has started making a loud screeching noise. She's had it since 2022.

Screeching only happens under load (it started mid Overwatch game) — at idle the fans run "normally", though it is much louder than a few weeks ago... however, no screeching like the video I have linked below
The area over the right fan/vent (when the laptop is open) is hot to the touch, including through the keyboard above it
She says she can feel air coming out of the left vent, but not the right one
With the laptop off and unplugged, I took the back panel off and I spun the right fan blade by hand — it moves freely, no grinding or resistance that I notice
I opened the back panel to clean dust out about a year ago (many cats) but it has had no problems until this started
(Unrelated: she had a warning regarding a hard drive recently that she would like me to mention though I do not think it is connected to this issue and believe it was her external drive she may have wiggled the cable on)

Video of the noise (loud, turn down volume): youtube link

I'm comfortable with desktop PC builds but haven't done laptop repair before, and couldn't find a teardown video for this exact model/year. If it's a straightforward fan swap I'd like to try it myself.

Thanks for any help!

MSI GF63: Why are my graphics going in and out periodically?

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 23:35:35 -0700

GF63 Thin 9SC-614US-BB5930H8GXXDX10MH, it is GTX 16 series

I know this laptop is older at this point, but for a long time it went unused, and it has not been used heavily enough to be causing these issues IMO. Roblox is the main thing that runs. It was getting very very hot, someone opened it up and cleaned out the dust and reapplied thermal paste. Back when it was getting very hot, I'd notice that at its hottest is when the graphics would go weird. (it would just start losing details in the characters and room behind them... the CPU and GPU were getting up to 80-90*C, GPU was always lower but both high numbers like that and they would fluctuate a little bit as soon as I opened Roblox) Anyways that's no longer an issue, I use cooler boost through dragon center, and the numbers stay pretty "normal". But the graphics are doing the same thing. It's not the settings in the game, and it's not the wifi. When it happens, I will close the game and go back in and they will be normal again. But eventually it will happen again. I have updated my drivers, I don't understand why it's doing this out of nowhere.

MSI Laptop: MSI GE75 Raider 10SE - Two Issues (Overheat + Hinge)

Thu, 21 May 2026 03:59:09 -0700

I purchased a GE75 Raider 10SE from Costco in 2020. The hinge broke a few months ago so I just leave it open. The screen also has pressure marks. How should I proceed to get more time out of it?

It also overheats and shuts the Wi-Fi off, which won't be a problem soon as the new place I'm moving to has every room wired.

Please advise. Thank you!
