Windows 10: MSI Laptop will no longer turn on

So a couple days ago I was using my laptop like normal. I wasn’t running any powerful programs but then all of a sudden it shut off on its own. It will no longer turn back on. I changed the battery out for a new one and that didn’t solve the issue. Nothing else looks wrong to me so I don’t know where to go from here. If anyone can help me out without the requirement of going to a pc repair shop that would be great. Thank you

install webcam on msi laptop

Hi 1papertiger,

This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand your concern about installing webcam on MSI laptops.

Most laptops have a built-in webcam on it, If it's not working, there's a problem with the driver or settings of it.

Step1: I request you to check for Hidden Devices in Device Manager. Please refer to these steps:

a. On the desktop, press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.

b. Click on View and select Show Hidden Devices.

c. Check for the webcam under Imaging Devices.

d. If the webcam is listed, then right-click on it and select Update Driver Software.

e. Select Browse My Computer for Driver Software and follow the prompted steps.

Step 2: Run the hardware troubleshooter and check if you receive any error messages.

a. On the desktop, press Windows key + W and type Troubleshooting.

b. Click on it and click on Hardware and Sound.

c. Click on Hardware and Devices and follow the prompted steps.

If the laptop doesn't have a built-in webcam on it, you would need to purchase an external webcam, plug it on your laptop and driver will download automatically.

I hope my suggestions help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

Thanks,

Wilfred P.

Help needed for periodic BSODs on MSI laptop

I believe I ran this hard drive scan yesterday and nothing out of the ordinary showed up in the benchmark, no bad sectors.. I will test it again and post the results. I will also post the results of memtest, I left it while I went to work so hopefully it has not booted to Windows while I was out - - - Updated - - - I have completed the tests First pass of memtest86



Second pass





And the results from HDTune which for some reason does not show the health of the OS drive

 

Is there a keystroke combo that will turn on wireless. I am running MSI laptop and Windows 10 latest version.

On a laptop, there will be a function key that turns WiFi on and off, which is why I suggested that the OP read the documentation or ask MSI.
