MSI VECTOR 18 HX AI A2XWHG Sound problems
I've had my MSI VECTOR 18 HX AI A2XWHG laptop for less than a month. From the very first week, I've been experiencing stuttering/glitching issues with the sound. I've updated drivers and tinkered with Windows settings, but it hasn't solved the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you suggest I do?

Msi laptop Unresponsive
Msi GE76 Rader 11UE shut down in game, wouldn't turn back on. Tried a hard reset. Took it to professional, was told battery had no voltage and needed a replacement. I was worried it might be a motherboard issue, as I recently applied new non conductive thermal paste and cleaned up fans.
They didn't say anything was wrong with the motherboard nor did they say they did a inspection of it, just said they cleaned up and reapplyed some as they said I used too much. Still won't turn on with new battery installed after charging overnight, tried resetting EC and it is still completely unresponsive. The adapter doesn't seem to have any damage, perhaps a bit lose but it still clicks when plugged in.
Also, I didn't smell any burning when the laptop shut off, nor did I see any discoloration of the motherboard of what I can see. However the fans did go on for a little after shut off.
I really don't want to have to buy another laptop as this laptop performaned well and was expensive and I can't afford to buy another.
If anyone has any ideas on what the actual fuck happened, sound off in the comments. I'm exhausted at this point, and my warranty ended last year in May.

Is it worth buying the Titan 18 HX Dragon? CES 2026 is 3 weeks away
Title. I definitely like the laptop and have the capacity to buy it, but I am wondering if it would be a stupid choice, as CES 2026 is 3 weeks away and there is a chance they unveil something even better.

MSI Thin 15 Gaming Laptop Review — Power, Portability, and Performance in a Slim Form
The MSI Thin 15 offers a compelling balance between powerful hardware and a sleek, lightweight design. With a 13th Gen Intel Core…
Potential screen replacement due to likely failed TCON on an MSI Creator Z16P-B12U Laptop
Hey all, I bought a Z16P around 3 years ago now and had sent it in for repairs once; having an issue again, this time with major screen banding towards the bottom of the screen that reflects/inverts the image at the top.
Through some troubleshooting, I've ruled out either the integrated or dedicated GPU (issue persists when completely disabling either GPU and running on the other), drivers (issue persists in BIOS and during POST) and a few other related issues.
The banding is of random heights up the bottom portion of the screen, and the "height" or number of bands re-randomizes during any new display re-initializing event (Reboot, Win Key + Ctrl+ Shift+B, refresh rate modification, driver re-install, etc). Sounds like a TCON to me.
So, two questions:
-Would a panel replacement swap the TCON for this model, and for that matter do I NEED to swap the full panel or can I swap just the timing chip? I believe it is fully integrated like with most models but would feel better if someone more familiar with the model confirmed. It's a shame because the panel is otherwise in beautiful shape, it's just the timing that's utterly borked.
-How much of a PITA is it to perform a panel replacement myself on this model if it's needed? I am a moderate experience repairman in general for PCs but no experience on this particular model.
Oh, and of course the third question would be- any other advice or wisdom or similar experience with this/a similar model? Thanks in advance!

Confirming storage upgrade for MSI Thin 15 B12VE - Can I add a 2.5" SATA SSD?
Hi everyone,
I have an MSI Thin 15 B12VE and I'm planning to upgrade my storage because the main drive is getting full.
I've read online that this specific model has:
1. One M.2 NVMe slot (which is already taken by my OS drive).
2. One empty 2.5" SATA slot.
I'm looking at buying a 2.5" SATA SSD (like a Samsung 870 EVO or Kingston A400) to put in that empty slot so I can have dual drives.
Can anyone with this laptop confirm if this is correct? I want to make sure I don't need to replace my main NVMe drive and can just add the SATA SSD for extra game storage.
Thanks!

Laptop having the same issue despite MSI claiming to have fixed it
I was having issues with my laptop (system and app crashes) so I sent it into MSI to fix it, and it temporarily resolved the problem, only for it to have the same exact issues two months later (with the added issue of my Windows key not being recognized). What do I do now?
