How to get my device to boot into windows with internal monitor unplugged

I'm laptops back light stopped working 2 months back and I want to be able to use it with an external monitor in I can just leave it as is and use a key board but I want to remove the monitor completely and just use the flat laptop and the monitor however im testing by just disconnecting the laptop monitor it just does not boot into windows at all and it shows nothing on the screen or on any external monitors I attach if all else fails ill just saw the top of the monitor off to give room for the external one to show behind it. But I'd like to leave that for a last ditch effort. Sorry for the lack of punctuation

MSI MODERN 15

Help! I just got my MSI Modern 15 laptop, but the battery only lasts about 2–3 hours, even though I mostly use it for web browsing. I also noticed that the left side, near the QWERTY keys and the charging port, gets hotter than the other side. When I say hot, it’s definitely noticeable—you won’t burn your fingers, but you can clearly feel the heat while typing. I even set it to Battery Saver mode, but the battery still drains quickly. Should I return it?

Msi Katana 15 HxB14W Unusual fan behavior and static noise (Coil Whine?)

I recently purchased a new Msi Katana 15 HxB14W 5070 and I’ve noticed a few things. Since it’s a brand-new device, I want to make sure if these are "normal" MSI characteristics or potential defects.
1. Static/Crackling Noise (Coil Whine?): I can hear a slight static/buzzing noise coming from under the keyboard. Sometimes I can even hear it from a normal sitting distance (about 30-40 cm) while watching videos, especially when the laptop is in Extreme Performance Mode. It seems to happen every 20-30 minutes. Is this common coil whine for this model?
2. Staggered Fan Start on Cooler Boost: When I trigger "Cooler Boost" via MSI Center, the fans don't start at the exact same time. One fan ramps up first, and the other follows about 1-2 seconds later. Is this a built-in firmware feature to manage the initial power draw?
3. Humming Sound (Resonance): When the laptop is sitting on my desk, there is a low-frequency "vuv vuv" humming/vibrating sound. As soon as I lift the laptop up in the air, the sound disappears completely. I suspect air turbulence or desk resonance, but I wanted to check if anyone else has this.
4. 2K Display & Performance: This model has a 1440p (2K) screen. Does this resolution significantly increase the stress on the components even during light tasks, potentially causing more coil whine?
The laptop performs great otherwise, and the screen is beautiful. I'm just a bit paranoid because it's new. I would appreciate any feedback from other MSI owners!
Thanks!

Laptop shuts down and no longer detects SSD hard drive

Good afternoon everyone and happy holidays.



I'm having a big problem with an MSI laptop.

The OC will either turn off or on randomly, then go straight into the BIOS, not detecting any hard drives with an operating system.

It started doing this last summer, and I thought it was due to the extreme heat. Despite the air conditioning, the ambient temperature here was around 40°C, and I use the PC heavily. So I cleaned the fans and removed some dust, but it didn't solve anything.



I also replaced the SSD, thinking the hard drive was failing, but after four months of flawless operation, the problem recurred.



Now, after keeping it off for about 15 days, it started working again.

So I certainly don't have the reliability needed to work with it.

Does anyone know what the problem might be and how to fix it?

Thanks to anyone who can answer.

MSI HX 16 AI Battery Concern

Hello!

so recently with this laptop, the battery has been decreasing around 1% every 2-4 days and this has been a consistent issue. When I first had this issue I simply turned off fast startup in control panel and it seemed to temporarily fix the issue. The battery went from 91% and charged back up to 100%. However, this issue seems to be occuring again and with fast startup turned off, im unsure what could be causing this issue. When turning off the laptop and leaving it overnight, the battery still does not charge up. It was sitting at 94% for a while and dropped to 93% recently. I have checked task manager and im certain that there is no application that could be draining the battery execeptionally fast. Battery related issues is not my forte so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is it really that bad for a budget gaming laptop

Hello im looking to buy my first gaming laptop as i want to leave my ps4 and want to play hogwarts legacy (which i got free) and cod warzone but rn the prices are bad and probably will be even worse with the RAM prices increasing. I know the thin 15 isnt a powerhouse but could it last like 2-3 years playing these games and using it for coding and school?
What performance can i expect from it since its the cheapest in my country for about 700 usd with a ryzen 5 and a 4050

Miserable Customer Service

I bought an MSI Katana a little over a year ago and it was working fine until one day it no longer powered on. I tried calling their customer service and it feels like pulling teeth trying to get any useful help. It's even worse that they don't respond to emails, and never call back despite promising to do so within 48 hours.



The first issue was that the serial number that came with the laptop was faded and almost unreadable, (despite every other sticker being perfectly fine somehow) and they wouldn't offer any troubleshooting without it. It took a week and 5 different people until someone was able to actual help by matching the battery serial number to the laptop which could have been solved much earlier.


When I finally talked to technical support their only suggestion was to try power cycling it and once that didn't work, told me to bring it to a local repair shop since I was 2 months out of warranty and couldn't send it in for an RMA repair through them.



Finally after sending it in to be repaired which is what I should have done from the get go instead of dealing with MSI, I get told that I probably will need a new motherboard. For some reason though, MSI doesn't sell this particular motherboard on their website. When I reach out again to purchase a replacement, they said that they have replacement ones in stock, but it can only be done through an out of warranty repair. I was told they need to diagnose it and do an in house repair even though it contradicts what they told me earlier.


Anyways I mainly just wanted to rant about my experience and don't really expect anything to come out of it. Probably won't be buying any laptops from them again in the near future.

Almost fried my laptop because of the stupid windows sleep.

Just like what the noscript said, I found my laptop burningly hot in my bag.

(Laptop is on Eco-Silent with Energy Saver)
I left it in my bag for 2 hours assuming that it would stay asleep after closing its lid just like any other day but lo and behold almost got a heart attack when I found it hot as f*ck and wouldn't turn on no matter how much i pressed the power button. After doing a power reset and plugging its charger, it finally turned on, but it repeatedly turned on and off just at the msi logo.

After a few minutes(It finally cooled down) it properly booted. Battery is fully drained but no other issues so far, So yeah i got traumatized and would never leave my laptop (which is only 1 month old by the way) asleep. I made its closing lid to directly hibernate when in battery power. Never trust sleep mode in laptop...


Edit: found 2 possible culprits that woke my laptop while inside the bag...
1.) Saved network (it probably automatically connected)
2.) usb devices plugged in ( mouse dongle in my case)
