Power button board for MSI GE70 Laptop: where to buy?

by Apr 13, 2015 8:00AM PDT

The power button on my laptop has shorted out, and I'm have trouble finding a replacement. Does anyone know where I might find a replacement board for sale?

Thanks a bunch, and have a great day.

I'd start at the MSI web site in your country.

Fixed without finding a replacement

Turns out there was crud shorting out some of the legs of the cable connector at the power board (removed with it with a sewing needle). Never did find a source for a replacement board, though I did not ever check with MSI directly.

Thanks for your help guys!
