This is with PTM7950 applied to the CPU and K5 Pro on the GPU.

I have an MSI GE72 7RD gaming laptop that was working perfectly before I opened it. The only issue was that the CPU fan had started making a scratching/grinding noise.

I opened the laptop, but I made the mistake of not disconnecting the battery first. I unplugged thMSI GE72 7RD won't turn on after replacing CPU fan, no charging light

e CPU fan cable, carefully removed the heatsink, and then reassembled everything. I did not remove the CPU.

After putting everything back together, the laptop is now completely dead.

Symptoms:

• No charging LED when the charger is plugged in.
• No keyboard backlight.
• No fan spin.
• No display.
• No response at all when pressing the power button.

I took really good care of this laptop, and it was running perfectly before this. I'm worried I may have shorted something by leaving the battery connected while working on it, but I'm hoping it's something simpler like a loose connector or an EC reset.

Has anyone experienced this on an MSI laptop? Is there anything I should check before taking it to a repair shop, or does this sound like a motherboard or power circuit issue?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello! So I recently bought the Msi Vector with Ryzen 9 and RTX5080 configuration for about $2,500. I thought it was a good deal considering that I want a laptop and the configuration seems adequate for my first gaming laptop. In short I really like this laptop and I don't mind at all what heavy it is or how loud it can get (I don't consider it to be too loud and also it is a powerful laptop after all so it needs to cool down right?) The issue comes with that it isn't working properly for me. Mine just crashed 4 times now in a 3 weeks span while simply surfing the web or moving files... Drivers are up to date and everything seems ok but it keeps rebooting itself for no aparent reason. The question is:

Should I return it and bought a Raider Series with the same specs? Or should I just keep this one and send it to MSI so they can repair it?

Thank you in advance!

I get really tired after days searching for solutions but finding nothing. First of all i live in Iran. MSI has a production line here so my laptop actually assembled here.

I have this laptop (i7 13620H & RTX 4060) for nearly a year. So I decided to bring it to warranty for a cleaning and thermal repaste. I got it back and suspected high CPU temps, send it back to warranty again for a second repaste, give it back and still same issue. Checked the temps with HWInfo and i see 50 60% thermal throttling and in some games 90%. I ran a couple of benchmarks and scores and temps for GPU is very fine:

3DMark time spy: overall 10300 cpu 10000 gpu 10300

Cinebench R23 multi core: 13100 average is 14500 or higher

Cinebench 2026: 3100 average is 4040

I can't repaste it for a third time by myself because I'm no expert and if I open my laptop myself the warranty is no longer available. In Iran electronics are very expensive so... i can't do this risk.

Any helps would be appreciated.

this time its stuck like this. earlier, i had a problem where whenever i logged on, it went straight to click bios, i hit my laptop and it got it working again (ik prolly not the wisest choice 😭). assuming all of this is related? 5-6 year old ge75 raider.
