Solved! MSI GX660 not powering on

Hi all, laptop has stopped powering on, power adaptor is fine, removed the cmos battery along with ram and hard drive, still nothing. Removed the fans and cooling heatsinks which were full of dust! Have cleaned them out but obviously it still isn’t working.

How and when did it stop working. Full story please.

Doesn’t really help as to why it’s stopped, however after taking it apart I’ve found the centre pub from the power jack has come unsoldered. Resoldered and it’s all good again.

Wow! Glad to hear that.
