MSI GE63VR 7RE no post, black screen, no beeps

Hi @dank_heehaw ,

Try shining a torch at an angle close to the screen to check if there is a display showing on the laptop screen after it has been turned on. It will be very faint so try it in a darkened room as a help to see.

If there is a display visible on the screen, then you have a display backlight problem. This could be either a faulty backlight power supply on the motherboard, a faulty backlight power cable or cable connection at either end, motherboard or screen (if separate from the LVDS cable - don’t know your laptop but on some it is incorporated in the same cable) or a faulty display panel backlight circuit.

If there is no display showing on the screen when using the torch, try connecting an external monitor to the laptop (even a TV if it has the appropriate inputs can be a monitor) and see if it has a display or not with the laptop on.

If there is no display on the external monitor either then you either have a GPU or motherboard problem or both.

If there is a display on the external monitor then you either have a faulty LVDS cable or cable connection at either end or a faulty display panel. Try gently pressing around the hinge area between the body of the laptop and the lid (don’t know which side, left or right) to check if you can make the display come on or not. The LVDS cable passes through the hinge to get from the motherboard to the display panel, and may have been damaged.
