MSI had hardware issue luckily in the costco warranty...
Had a MSI ge68hx (Raider) that I grabbed at Costco. Just recently had to sent it in due to the HDMI ports failing and not recognizing anything in them.
Long story short its being sent back unfixed due to lack of parts being available along with a return code. So I have to get a new laptop. Basically play Civ games on it and Diablo. Was looking at the MSI Vector A16. Outside of the color bars and some minor speaker changes, are they for the most part comparable or would anyone recommend looking at something else. If its store credit im probably looking good at $1400 plus what ever tax was.

MSI GS63 Stealth 8RE LED Issue
I have the listed laptop and the LEDs in the keyboard appear to be mostly dead. I've tested each key's LED in SteelSeries Engine 3, and it's looking like most of the keys have one or all dead LEDs. I'm hoping there's a way to fix it without a complete teardown and keyboard replacement, but I'm doubtful

Locked i9 14900hx cpu
Yes its not about MSI and not about ACER its about fully locked i9 14900HX without any option to unlock it.
Want to share with my TrottleStop 9.7.3 setting for this laptop.
i9 1400hx
Rtx 4070
This laptop can not be underclocked, undervolted, its very hot. Most of the setting are just locked in bios and can not be unlocked, but there is a way how to make it cooler.
TrottleStop
Main page
✅ High performance
( same in predator sense or msi centre or other )
✅ Clock mod 100%
✅ Speed Shift EPP
For me best result is 140, like this you have stable 3,5ghz without any termal trottlings and only 71C⁰ in TrottleStop benchmark. Also with this i solved that moment that now it doesent matter how many threads are used, max is 3.5ghz ( closer to 0 more ghz you will gain )
✅SpeedStep
✅C1E
Rest of it stays not marked ( just empty ⬜ )
Next
FIVR
Caxhe ratio
Min/Max 8 / 30
Sleep defaults ✅ Cache ratio ⬜ Voltage
Apply and ok
Max cache ration depends on target ghz ( in my case target 3.5ghz and cache ratio should be bit less, aiming to 3.8ghz cache ratio 33-35 )
Nothing more.
During the game cpu max c⁰ is only 77
Need more ghz just set lower Speed Shift EPP value.
Before i was trying to make something in TPL but in reality it didnt helped a lot coz some of the games was able to run on 1-2 threads and temperature was 91C⁰+ coz TPL was helping to control max ghz only on all threads, not when less.
E cores i turned off ( they are usless, just had stutters from them, cpu thinks that E cores can hold the load, in the end no, it switches to P cores and as a result micro stutters and freezes )
In power plan i have changed minimal cpu usage from 100% to 5% so its kinda balnced mode and at the same time runs as high performance mode when needed

Staying in Sleep Mode Issue
I’m concerned with my gaming laptop, it runs great, no issues. However it’s been starting to get stuck almost like it’s in sleep mode, after trying to shut it down. I’m able to fix it with holding down the power button and booting it back up. However I’m concerned about there being an internal issue, that may cause it to either need a part replacement or god forbid fry.
Do you guys know of an issue that may be causing this, and how can I prevent this from happening. I’ve turned off sleep mode ultimately already, but this is still happening.

Multiple monitors on GF65 Thin with DisplayLink?
Thinking about cleaning up space with my desk and was wondering if it was possible to disable the laptop screen, and use two other monitors. Problem is that I know the GF65 models can only bring out one output source, but after quick research I believe that buying a dock and installing DisplayLink software will do the job. Can someone give me another input just in case I waste money after Christmas? Thanks yall

Replacement for older GF63 broke at the hinge
Morning
Last night I went to close my GF63 from 2018 and it cracked and came apart at the left hings. Fortunately it still seems to work but I can't move it anymore. However, I've got 2 cars that need work so I can't just drop cash on a replacement. I play a lot of older games like Total War, Civ 6, so I don't need a high end replacement. Any recommendations?

Hey gang, just picked up a new Creator M14 A13VF-081US. I'd love to have a spare power adapter, however my Google-Fu isn't yielding me much. Anyone have this model and can recommend a replacement power adapter?

MSI Vector GP68HX 13VH overheating? is it due for repaste/repair
These stats are after 10minutes of running Warframe on decently high settings
Hello all, I've been monitoring my temps lately and I'm unsure if i should repaste, undervolt or if this is normal cpu behavior. I have this laptop for 2 years now.
Specs include:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU
13th Gen Intel i9-13950HX
2x 32GB Micron DDR5-5600 SDRAM 2800Mhz
When gaming i always use discrete graphics mode with 'extreme performance' user scenario with cooler boost or advanced fan speed of up to 150% with the sliders graph.
Out of precaution i already went to power options and lowered maximum processor state to 80%, i haven't changed anything in the bios.
I get stable performance in games like Warframe (+-140fps), but almost every session i see temps peak over 90celcius shortly and it's getting me more and more concerned.
I clean out the fans superficially with toothbrush and compressed air every 3-4 months (not detaching or unscrewing anything because i can't unplug the power cable for the battery and don't want to mess with anything). I'm not very knowledgeable about laptop repair or stuff like repasting.
I upgraded the ram to 2x 32GB Crucial DDR5 ram a year ago
Now i' m thinking about putting in a Samsung 990 EVO plus 2TB M.2 NVME, is this wise or will this add more heat into the system that it might not be able to handle?
Should the new drive need a heatsink or thermal pads?
Do the drives with heatsink even fit inside the laptop?
Should i send it to a professional repair shop and let them handle it?
