Question

Msi ge72vr 6rf apache pro wont power up

Aug 5, 2017 9:07AM PDT

My laptop was running perfectly this morning, about 3 hours later i opened it to find it was extremely slow. I rebooted it and it stuck on starting windows. Powered it down, now it wont even power on. There is no way to remove the battery on this model. I am really hoping its not a mobo failure as i work in remote locations for 3 more weeks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just mildly advanced work. HOWEVER it does show you must open it up to get all the accumulated dust and lint out.

Since it does collect lint internally you would do that deep clean yearly.

In warranty means you follow their instructions.
