MSI laptop won't turn on

[Professorwiggins]

I have a MSI Ge62 2qd 2qd apache pro laptop. The laptop was working fine then suddenly I opened it up and press the power button and it won't turn on. The only thing that happens is the Backlit keyboard and the LED on the power button blinks for a split second then immediately turns off. Theres no fans turning on and the screen is black. Besides the light flashing for a split second it just seems dead. I've tried several outlets and I believe my power adapter is fine. The laptop is only 5 months old so it's still well within warranty but I still was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what it might be and if it's a easy fix or not. Thanks.

Hi, the problem could be the adapter that is defective, but why did you say your adapter is good?

Well I tried the adapter on my old laptop and seems to be working fine. My best guess at his point is something with the psu or motherboard. I've tried playing with it for a while but still no response.

Your adapter is good with another laptop, so, the problem is on the motherboard, you have to use your warranty for reparing your laptop. I think the problem is on the motherboard, a component is defective. You can try an old remedy for laptop, remove the battery and unplug the adapter, hold the power button for a minute, after just plug the adapter and start your laptop.

take the battery out and push the power button for 60 seconds....try that.

Thanks for the quick responses. I did try both of those things and they didn't appear to do anything. Looks like my motherboard is toast. Thanks again!
