broken new spacebar
Does anything look broken? I just bought a new spacebar key but after I pop it in, it stays stiff, I also maybe accidentally mixed up old hinge with the new hinge. But before I even mixed them up, it still stayed stiff

Are these temps normal? For full performance mode with cooler boost (max fans) cpu undervolted
I come home from school to open my msi gl65 leopard, which I admit is pretty old, but still gets the job done. I had zero issues with boot up until today. It is stuck on the stupid red dragon logo. (Yes i tried turning it off on holding the power button it doesn’t work) I called MSI support and the guy said “yeah theres nothing you can do.” With a genuine snicker at the end. Mightve been the worst support I have ever heard in my entire life. If anyone has a solution please help 😭.
What’s up guys, I got an issue in my msi vector 16hx ai, when I start it from sleep the laptop start and go to black screen, need force off for start it again, any tips or solutions?
So in my country (Norway), the vectors are unbeatable right now in terms of price to performance, despite the prices being higher than most other places right now. I need a powerful machine for 3d modelling, animation and game development. I have the choice between these two models:
Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG (Core 9 Ultra 275HX, 16gb single channel ram) ~3300 USD
Vector A16 HX A8WIG (Ryzen 9 8940HX, 32 gb most likely dual channel ram) ~3500 USD
Which will serve me the best for my uses? Is it worth the price difference to get more ram but a little worse CPU? I will most likely void my warranty if I upgrade it myself. So the one I buy must last me until the 5 year european general warranty period is past.
Hello everyone!
I’m planning to clean and repaste my MSI Crosshair 15, and I’d like to know which thermal paste is best for better cooling performance.
Also, how do you usually clean your laptop? Do I need to add thermal pads around the heatsink as well?
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I'm seeing a lot of hate towards msi on other subs which made me worry.
I already ordered a foam sealed cooler pad with the laptop. Any other precautions or setting updates i should follow right after receiving the laptop to avoid thermal issues or other problems ?
Edit: my model got i7 14650hx and rtx 5050. My primary usage would be to connect an 240hz external monitor through dp 1.4 and play games
There are also other issues - applications crushing for no reason, browser tabs running out of memory when they shouldn.t. I tried re installing windows and drivers from scratch. These pixel-issue is intermitent and they seem to be in the picture not the actual screen. So anything on top of it doesn't have these pixels. Also sometimes I get no pixels like that at all (like I said intermitent). Something seems to be wrong with my laptop but I have no idea what it is. I tried googling and tried a few solution but didn't get anywhere.. on thing I haven't tried is undervolting, I m just scared messing with BIOS (the settings in intel xtu tool were locked). Any help/advice would be appreciated
EDIT: RAIDER GE68 HX 13V
is there any type c charger compatible and safe for msi thin a15? im a student and bringing my laptop along with its charger everytime i go to school hurts my back a lot.
Any help appreciated thanks in advance
My computer has been overheating for a long time, so last night I did some research to figure out whether it was caused by a setting or something else. I came to the conclusion that the thermal paste and cooling system are probably no longer sufficient after about 1.5–2 years of use. (Yeah, I know it took me a bit too long to realize that 😅)
My dad is a computer engineer, so I trust him on this stuff, but he’s currently living in another state because of work, so we can’t meet up anytime soon for maintenance.
I researched some thermal paste and I’m planning to buy one, but I don’t really want to risk opening the laptop myself and accidentally damaging something.
So until I can meet up with him and properly clean/reapply everything, what else should I do?
So far I’ve:
Set the maximum CPU power state to 95%
Kept the fans running at full speed
But no fan mode seems to reduce the temperatures significantly.

J-ellow guys, Please help me choose one
Msi vector 5080
Hello everyone, so I just bought the MSI Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG with the Intel ultra 9-275hx/ RTX 5080 and I’m waiting for it to arrive.
I wanted to ask people who already own this laptop: is it very loud during gaming or even during normal use like browsing or watching videos?
How aggressive are the fans?
Do temperatures stay under control?
And overall, are you happy with the cooling system and noise levels?
I posted this here before and I didn’t exactly get anywhere and hoping I can get better luck!
It’s in like an eternal sleep mode or smth idek.
MSI KATANA 17
Long story short, i have no idea about pcs im just a casual gamer. So i tried everything AI told me to fix except USB update (dont have rn). Nothing was successful and started to get frustrated since i have no clue whats going on.
Tried manually resetting the BIOS by unplugging and holding power button.
Tried messing with “safe boot” but it appears i cant edit the setting after trying everything
Had to return this laptop as its been so frustrating I just cannot get it to run smooth in any games no matter what setting i have or game i use when I pan the camera it stutters randomly I tried so many different setting vsync on vsync off adaptive sync on and off frame limiters lowered settings hybrid mode dedicated mode changed to latest bios trying to get it to work just got too frustrating its such a shame but it just did not work in the end.
Hi guys,
Ive got a GP66. I just went to close the lid and the right side of the hinge decided to fall to pieces.
Im reading online that there's a class action in the US against MSI regarding this issue due to over torquing from factory. Im in the UK so i cant be a part of that anyway. I cant find anything recent regarding the issue. Im trying to find if MSI have admitted fault?
The laptop is only 2 years 9 months old so trying to figure out if I can get it fixed at the point of sale under the consumer rights act. It would be much easier if I knew if MSI have admitted fault.
Thanks!
Basically called MSI customer support & logged a ticket to ask whether the above hardware monitoring information is future-stable for my laptop (MSI Katana I7 HX B14WGK). They confirmed with me the CPU is safe to go up to 95-100 degrees, and afterwards it will throttle itself to prevent any damage. Would love to get any second opinions & recommendations here.
FYI - balanced power plan
EDIT - This is with playing minimal shaders minecraft - on other games such as league or genshin, CPU tends to go between 90-95 and GPU stays stable between 50-60
I got this msi gs66 after a long time of using a shitty laptop. I noticed that when I open it there's some friction in a specific point when I am opening it.
It's a slight friction and I didn't notice at first. What do yall think?
I was really excited but now I'm worried and I don't want to really use it unless I know more about it.
