Help, the RGB LEDs on my keyboard no longer light up.

I recently got my new MSI Cyborg 15 (less than a month ago) and suddenly the LEDs on my keyboard stopped lighting up. I tried restarting and checking in MSI Center, but that didn't work. Do you have any ideas or solutions? Thanks in advance.

Need Help Controlling Fan Speed on MSI A15 Thin


I’m using an MSI A15 Thin laptop and I can’t figure out how to properly control the fan speed.
MSI Center / Dragon Center doesn’t support this model, and the fans randomly ramp up even during light tasks.

Has anyone found a working method—BIOS options, third-party tools, EC firmware tweaks, or anything safe for this specific model?

My PC freezes.

I have a question and I have done everything possible to solve it and there is no way I have an msi gf63 thin 10sc. Since I bought it, the laptop freezes randomly, that is, it can be on for 10 minutes and it freezes or it can be on for 10 hours and it freezes. The freezing is totally random. I changed thermal paste and that disk maintenance everything is perfect, ram memories everything is perfect, I changed Windows twice, I also reset the battery, and reset the bios. And I have done everything humanly possible to solve the problem but I can't find it. Do you know of any solution to this problem?

Why does MSI not give detailed specs for different variations of specific models?

Raider 16 HX AI A2XWIG-668CA

Msi lists generic specs for the "a2xwig" model, saying things like up to ddr5 6400, or up to mini led display. https://www.msi.com/Laptop/Vector-16-HX-AI-A2XWX/Specification

Im trying to find out exactly what's in the model not what could be in that model.

I contacted msi support twice, they told me the generic specs are all they get and to contact the retailer. The retailer says they are at the mercy for what MSI shares and that not even the box has the actual specs.

The only way to tell what's under the hood is to buy it and open it..

MSI doesnt know what the ram speeds are, what generation 2tb ssd, etc..

Laptop Audio Stopped Working After ESP32 Power Surge Incident

So I have MSI Thin 15 and i ran into a weird and kind of scary issue with my laptop after an electronics mishap involving an ESP32. I was working on a project where my ESP32 was powered through a buck converter and a PSU. The buck converter was supposed to output 5V, but I didn’t realize it was still giving around 10V. While the ESP32 was still connected to my laptop via USB, I plugged the PSU into the wall, and my laptop instantly shut off. It booted back up normally afterward, but later that night I noticed something was wrong: the laptop’s internal speakers stopped working completely, and even wired headphones produce no sound at all. The only audio outputs that still work are Bluetooth and HDMI. I already checked drivers, device manager, and everything appears normal, no warnings, no missing devices. I also tested performance by playing Marvel Rivals to see if the GPU/CPU/RAM took any damage, but the FPS and overall performance were exactly the same as before. So i think the laptop works fine except for the entire analog audio output path. Has anyone experienced something like this before? Could the surge through the USB have fried the Realtek codec or analog amp stage? And is board-level repair the only option here? Thank you

Brand new laptop doesn’t download the windows updates.

Just opened the box on my new MSI laptop, plugged it in, and turned it on. Open the thing up and answer the questions- yes I’m in America, yes, yes, yes. I get to the download screen after typing in my WiFi password. It never moves, stuck on 0% downloaded. Why is this?

Is this normal

My msi slim laptop discharged battery like normal, but when I turned it on on Monday, its battery was at 99% and it mainly discharges a lot from more intense games. Are those games damaging the laptop also? (Mecha break mainly)

MSI GP66 Vector dead, any ideas?

I was playing casually and suddenly the laptop shutdown, like in an instant. No crashing no stuttering, completely dead. And now it’s been like 2 hours to no avail.

I get the laptop cleaned and repasted by professionals every 8 months so it’s less likely a temperature problem

Not a single movement/lights are to be seen

The charging light indicator doesn’t even work anymore, completely turned off (even though I can feel electricity surging through the laptop when it’s plugged in)

I tried the following:

EC reset

Battery reset (manual removal of it)

Needle discharge reset

Nothing worked…

Can anyone suggest me something useful? Or any advice if anyone has already been through such scenario

Are brief spikes from 60 °C to 90 °C in an MSI laptop’s CPU package temperature normal during light usage?

I see in HWiNFO that my laptop's CPU package temperature often spikes from 60 °C to 90 °C. Here's the CPU package temperature graph: https://ia803401.us.archive.org/19/items/images-for-questions/m9F5YtDs.png
The y-axis, which the screenshot inconveniently cropped out, ranges from 50 °C to 90 °C. The x-axis on all graphs below is 10 minutes.



Is that normal for a laptop's CPU package temperature to spike that frequently and briefly?

----

I was doing some very mild computer use, as evidenced by the CPU utilization chart: https://ia803401.us.archive.org/19/items/images-for-questions/ED3yiQKZ.png

I keep the CPU fan and the first GPU fan at high RPM:

- https://ia803401.us.archive.org/19/items/images-for-questions/HLkNIIOy.png

My laptop is a MSI GS76 Stealth 11UH (mirror).

My primary concern is that this results in thermal throttling, which consequently diminishes CPU performance. However, perhaps the impact on overall system performance is too negligible to care?

Has anyone attempted to upgrade a Raider A18 HX with Crucial 96GB (CL46) Ram kit?

I was attempting to upgrade my Raider A18 HX with the Crucial 96GB CL46 ram kit but was told that the Crucial ram may be incompatible or unsupported which didn't fully make sense.

So I was wondering if anyone has any further information to offer on the matter.

GL75 screen no longer turns on

A couple days ago the screen for my GL75 stopped working. I was using it like normal and suddenly it was black, even though the laptop was still on. I plugged it into an external monitor to see if the entire laptop had died but it's still working fine. Just a display issue. How can I find out what happened and how to fix it?

Is the overheating normal in this model or is it thermal throttling

I've owned this GF63 Thin B12UCX for 1 year now

i5 12450h , RTX 2050 (4gbvram) , 16GB DDR4 Ram , 144hz screen


When i first bought it, it was able to run a lot of games without much of a lag , in gta V i was getting 60-100 fps constantly in high settings , but now i notice stuttering while playing gta V in high settings , same for rdr2 not hard stutters but for a microsecond a small but noticable fps drop

Also when i forget to turn the fans on to max when playing games , after like 5 mins of playing it , the fans toggle to max , the laptop lags out and in 10 seconds the screen turns off and the whole laptop shuts down which i think is thermal throttling


The fans aren't as loud anymore in max (which i thin is due to dust buildup)

I have only used this laptop on a hard table except for a few times otherwise

Also when idle the temps are 50-60 and when doing light tasks like music , watching youtube and instagram it reaches around 70-75

when gaming it sits around 90-95


What should i do

Help with my GS65 STEALTH 8SE

Recently I had issues with my laptop that the RTX gpu disconnects suddenly.so i Decided to Reset my laptop, meaning I had to download dragon center again, but unfortunately it didn't allow to control anything, I asked chatgpt which suggested I have to uninstall the msi SDK and everything and download it again from the msi website, so I uninstalled the SDK , when I checked the website, it appeared that MSI removed the SDK from the the website.
Now what can I Do?!
I just want to increase the Fan speed whenever I game. That's it.

Need Help with My Msi GE76 12UGS Raider

So i just updated my windows 11 to latest one, it restarted and during boot for some reason it was updating the firmware or that's what it looked like everything was going smoothly. After the final restart after showing Msi logo it goes to bitlocker recovery for some reason, in the meantime i was going to Microsoft website to get that, it just turned off itself. Main problem with my laptop is the power button doesn't work, and previously I managed to get it turn on without that (forgot how i did that) and set that whenever i plugin adapter it turn on. But i forgot how to that that, anyone able to help me will be appreciated.

Msi 16J9 GV62... Did I screw myself?

Hi there so I purchased new ram and larger sad about a month or two ago to upgrade my laptop but didn't realize that it won't take windows 11...since there is no way to upgrade the processor for that.

Is there anything I can do? Hell I spent damn near the same on the ram and ssd but couldn't test/install cause my old roomie stole my power cable lol.

My main use was producing music, downloading music, and some minor gaming.
