Stealth 16 not charging via type c even with 100W charger

Have stealth 16 A13VF.

Clearly supports type c charging via 20v 5a charger.

Bought original dell charger type c 100W.

Only charges when laptop is switched off which is a bummer bcoz that works with a 65 watt mobile charger also anyway.

Any clues ? Tried exploring bios options and switching to integrated graphics only mode still no avail.

MSI Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG — Second SSD upgrade questions

Hi everyone,

I am planning to upgrade my MSI Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG laptop by adding a second NVMe SSD. I already have the stock 1TB Micron 2500 drive installed, and I intend to buy a Kingston Fury Renegade G5 (PCIe Gen 5) as the second drive.

Before purchasing and opening the chassis, I want to clarify a few specific details from those who have already upgraded this exact laptop:

1. M.2 Form Factor & Clearance: I've seen some laptop models where the slots are positioned opposite to each other, forcing users to switch to shorter M.2 2230 drives if both slots are populated. Can I safely run two standard M.2 2280 drives simultaneously in this chassis? Are there any restrictions regarding double-sided SSDs?
2. Slot Identification: Which physical slot is which? When looking at the motherboard with the bottom cover removed (fans facing away from me), where is the PCIe Gen 5 slot and where is the PCIe Gen 4 slot?
3. Thermal Interface (Thickness & Placement): What is the exact thermal pad setup for the empty slot? Does the pad go underneath the SSD or on top of it? What is the required thickness (in mm) and hardness/compressibility level to ensure good contact without warping the SSD's PCB?
4. Mounting Screw: Does the empty slot already have a pre-installed M2 screw on the motherboard stand, or do I need to source an M2x3mm screw separately?

Any advice, thermal results, or tips from your own upgrade experience with the Vector 16 HX AI would be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Random shutdowns from a stealth gs66?

I recently got a used gs66 for a pretty good deal all things considered, but its kinda just randomly shutting itself down. I installed hwinfo and it doesn't seem to be temperature or battery issues at time of shutdown, and i'm kinda just looking for advice on how to fix this. I'm a little new to all this so any help would be appreciated.

GT 72VR 6RE dominator Pro

Hello everyone,

I own the laptop mentioned in the title (MSI GT72 6RE Dominator Pro). It had been working perfectly until last month. One night, I started the battery calibration from MSI Dragon Center and went to sleep. When I woke up, I found the laptop powered off.

I turned it back on, booted into Windows normally, left it on, and went to work. When I came home that evening, I saw that Windows had entered the Automatic Repair screen. I unplugged the charger to move the laptop to the living room, but by the time I got there, the screen had gone completely black.

Now, when I press the power button, the fans spin up normally, but there is no display, no MSI logo, no BIOS screen, and no beep or other sound. It has been in this exact state ever since.

Here's everything I've tried so far:

Removed the CMOS (BIOS) battery and left it disconnected for an extended period.

Connected an external monitor – no display.

Removed the main battery and tried powering it on with only the AC adapter – no display.

Removed the GTX 1070 MXM graphics card – still no display.

Removed both the HDD and SSD – still no display.

Today I also removed and reseated the RAM modules – still no display.

When I press the power button, the fans spin at their normal operating speed.

I cannot get into the BIOS or get any kind of video output.

At the moment, I'm at sea and still have about 20 days before reaching port, so taking it to a repair shop isn't an option right now.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I could try, or what might have failed?

Thank you!

MSI Raider 16 Max HX B2WH-004US OLED 16" Gaming Laptop Computer

I bought this about 2 weeks ago. I have it plugged into a 2k monitor and am playing the Adventures of Elliott (not a super graphically intense game). My cpu while playing is sitting around 97 degrees C, which seems fairly hot or above toasty for a laptop.


I have it lifted onto a cooling pad from amazon, so fans and airflow shouldn't be an issue.


Is this normal? I changed the user scenario to cooler boost on extreme performance and the cpu temp drops to \~80 degrees but the fans are running extremely fast and loudly to do that.


Any advice is welcome; if it's normal, I'll worry less.

MSI THIN GF63 12VF Power issue

I have an MSI Thin GF63 12VF. Sometimes when I try to open it, it gets stuck on and becomes unresponsive the only way to get it working again is to hold the power button for more than 30 seconds and then boot up with BitLocker recovery. I have no idea what triggers this. It sometimes happens after sleep mode, and sometimes after a regular shutdown. I've checked the battery percentage multiple times and it's never low. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and how can I solve it? My warranty has expired.

My Laptop Stopped Working, need help.

I have a MSI GF63THIN 11SC ,

I was using it yesterday, but when I turned it on today.

It got turned on but no keyboard keys or Mousepad was working.

So I forced shut down it(pressed power button for 5sec).

Now from then whenever I turn it on, there is no display output but, keyboard lights gets turned on(but keys not working)(I checked it by pressing Caps lock and the light on that button didn't turned on. Also there is button combination for keyboard light increasing or decreasing it's also not working)

Also it shuts down automatically after 20-30sec.

Does anyone else keep having issues where, whenever any update at all happens, the wifi driver just tweaks and breaks? I've done EVERYTHING, literally EVERYTHING and nothing fixes it.
