MSI GP66 Leopard (RTX 3070) is 100% undetected after a sudden crash—Need advice before I give up!

Laptop MSI GP66 Leopard 11UG

260CN-BB71180H16GXXDX10CH

Problem: GPU (rtx3070) not detected in the laptop

I'm desperate for some insight on my MSI GP66 Leopard 11UG, as the dedicated RTX 3070 GPU has completely disappeared. I was using it heavily for a game one night when it suddenly shut down, and I couldn't power it back on for 5-10 minutes. Now, a day later, the RTX 3070 is not showing up anywhere—not in Device Manager, MSI Center, or even the BIOS. I have tried everything possible on the software side : I've messed with drivers, tried specific versions from the MSI website, and even completely formatted the whole PC and reinstalled the OS. The NVIDIA installer just says, 'This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware'. This started after the hard crash under heavy load, making me think it got burnt. Since I messed with the drivers previously while trying to set up CUDA, is there any chance this is a complex software/BIOS lock I missed, or am I definitely looking at a motherboard/GPU hardware failure? Any help from the community, especially anyone familiar with this MSI model's common failures, would be greatly appreciated!

MSI laptop drain more battery with built-in speakers than Bluetooth

Hey folks,

I noticed something strange with my MSI laptop while watching YouTube. When I use the built-in speakers, the battery draw can go up to around 17W, but when I connect a Bluetooth speaker, it drops as low as 12W.

I always thought Bluetooth would use more power since it’s wireless, but apparently the opposite happens here. Does anyone know why the laptop’s internal speakers consume so much more power compared to sending audio over Bluetooth?

Thanks.

Why is my gaming laptop throttling its gpu when it's plugged into a slower (140w) type c charger?

Why isn't it getting whatever power it needs from the battery and slowly losing charge?

Vector 16 HX AI - Thunderbolt ports don't recognize my second monitor

I recently purchased a new laptop, it's a Vector 16 HX AI with an Intel Ultra 9 275 HX and RTX 5070. On my old Lenovo Legion I used to be able to connect 2 monitors - 1 using an HDMI cable and that monitor would then be powered by an external source, while the second monitor would be connected to the USB C port which would then both power it and send a video signal. I'm now trying to replicate this on my new laptop, however i keep getting an error message. In the device manager it says ''Unknown USB Device (port reset failed). I've tried many solutions, but can't seem to get it to work. What's the fix that I'm missing?

My laptop won't turn on.

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my MSI Raider GE78HX 13V laptop. I did some maintenance today—just cleaning it, which I've done before. I made sure to put everything back in its place and connect everything, but now I can't turn it on. The power button stays lit red and a fan turns on, but the screen doesn't display anything, and it seems the keys aren't working either, since the Caps Lock key doesn't light up when I press it.

MSI Cyborg 15 no charging light

I booted up my laptop after not using it in a bit and had it plugged in everything worked for about a minute then the laptop shut down automatically. And now I just have a brick that won’t charge I bought a charger and both work on my parents laptops and won’t charge my MSI I tested them with a multi meter and the test 20v then I plug my laptop in and test the charger voltage again it reads 0v so I’m guessing something is shorted somewhere if anyone has any information on these laptops suck as schematics or anything like that or has encountered this no charging light on problem any help at all would be much appreciated.

Adding second drive to MSI Raider 18 HX AI A2XWJG-416US 18

Have a new MSI Raider 18 HX AI A2XWJG-416US 18 and wanted to add a second drive since this rig will be for 3D scanning and processing meshes and CAD work. I purchased a 4TB samsung NVMe drive (Samsung - 990 PRO 4TB Internal SSD PCle Gen 4x4 NVMe) and when I booted up after the install I could se the drive in windows 11 Pro disk manager. I created the partition and formatted it, and thought nothing of it. After about a week I booted up and started installing my scanning software and CAD tools, and D drive is no longer there and not showing up in disk manager. It's a total pain in the ASS to crack this thing open but it looks like I'll have to. I also looked in the bios and its not showing up there either.
