    Solved! MSI GS60 Laptop won't turn on after cleaning fans. Front LED lights up for 10 seconds then turns off. No sounds of fans or components.

    PC Headphone Jack Failure; only plays sound on one ear

    is this plugged into the front of your case? if so, you might want to check your front panel connectors from your case to the mobo. A wire could have fallen out because they are so small you probably didn't notice. Check your motherboard manual for which connectors go where. Good luck!! :)
