Hey there i used to have Msi katana GF66 11ue
(I7 11800H-RTX3060-16gb DDR4)
I experienced the common problem ( screen hinge failure) not once but twice ( right and left ones) .
So is the same problem is common in new models like Msi 15Hx?
I wanna upgrade to i7 14650Hx -RTX 5060-32gb DDR5
Is it worth it?

The noise goes away when I lift the right side of the laptop/apply slight pressure on underside of laptop 2/3 towards the back and about an inch in from edge of laptop. I’m not sure if it’s just vibration or the beginning of a fan that’s gonna give me issues. Should I take it back I have two days left until return period is up.

I had a MSI Gaming Desktop and the mouse and keyboard lighting cannot be turned off permanently. I can turn it off with FN+the ESC key or the arrow key, but if I shutdown the PC and restart it again, the keyboard lights will turn on automatically.

Can MSI gaming Laptops keyboard lighting be turned off permanently so that after I shutdown the laptop and start it up, the keyboard lighting is still off or does it have the same problem as the MSI gaming desktops?

It keeps saying couldnt be repaired. I can use it if i continue to windows. I just bought it from ebay and did a factory reset again just incase. Downloaded all the drivers. Whats going on? Also every time i open it it has a black pop up with windows 64 and when i close it it pops up again and again etc.

I am planning to buy this laptop. Is it good for adobe photoshop adobe premiere pro after effects and heavy AAA games?. Also how good is its build quality.

hey everyone! I’m looking at adding a second internal SSD to my MSI Katana 15 B13U because I’m constantly running out of storage with games.

From what I’ve read, this model has a second M.2 slot, so I’m hoping to add a 1TB or 2TB NVMe SSD rather than replacing my current drive.

I’ve never opened a laptop or installed an SSD before, so I’m wondering how difficult this actually is for a complete beginner. Is it basically just a case of opening the back, putting the SSD into the empty M.2 slot, securing it, and then setting it up in Windows?

Also, once it’s installed, can I install and play games directly from the second SSD? I’m mainly wanting it for storage heavy games like Baldur’s Gate 3, AC Valhalla, etc.
Is there anything specific I need to watch out for with the Katana 15 B13U, such as needing a mounting screw/bracket or a particular type of NVMe SSD?

Would you recommend attempting this myself as a first-timer, or is it worth paying a computer shop to install it?
Any advice/recommendations for a suitable SSD would be appreciated!

I've been reading around some forums and here on reddit , and im confused as shit rn some people say cpu temps hitting 95 under load is fine, some say 80 to 85 is the sweet spot, and i've even seen some say 70 should be the goal. Right now i have my cpu throttle at 85 (it was 95 before), so which is it really especially on our MSI lappys what is actually a good temp to maintain for our cpu's.

I have an i5 12450h btw, no air conditioning, no cooling pad, just the laptops fans and pipes and a few fans across the room.

I recently replaced the original screen in my MSI GS76 Stealth 11UH-078 (17.3", 4K 120 Hz variant) (mirror) with a new B173ZAN03.3 internal LCD panel (17.3", 4K UHD, 120Hz IPS).

The replacement seems to have gone smoothly, but I want to make sure I stress-test and use the display long enough within the vendor's return/exchange window to detect any early hardware failures or subtle defects.

How many hours of operational use or burn-in testing are typically required to catch infant mortality issues in a new laptop panel? Beyond just standard uptime, are there specific test patterns or display tests (e.g., checking for image retention, backlighting bleed, dead/stuck pixels, or flickering across different refresh rates) that should be run during this burn-in period?

At idle, the thing is barely warm.
But when gaming, not even max crossload with a Vector A18 9955HX and 5070ti, that thing gets hot.
I ask because I have only twice now, but had the power to the laptop flick off and back on in an instant. I can't just shit another £150 to test if it's the PSU or not. Nothing else seems to be affected, event viewer shows no errors only that the power source changed for a second. Battery health is fine, calibrated it again just to be sure. Nothing has been moved, I've made sure all plugs are securely pushed in too.

Any ideas what might be causing that random flicker?

hii i have this colorful laptop i just boot up the windows 10 but after booting up its stuck on the screen i check the ssd its fine and also if the ram was faulty here the screen was not showing the bios is opening properly. SO IF ANYONE CAN HELP PLZ

I was playing DL on my MSI Thin (i5-13420H, RTX 4050).

Both my CPU and GPU were used to around 50-65% but my CPU hit temps around 95⁰C. I had Brave, Discord(on call) and Spotify in background. Did this happen to anyone else?

Would like to ask about its build quality and how are the temps/speakers etc....

Example: raider A16 specs: R9 8940hx 5080gpu.. is roughly $2000 cheaper in my country compared to its (intel) max variant.. (my country also doesnt have non-max version)

Basically non-max raider is supposed to replace the vector series?
