MSI GE75 laptop with black screen

BCN1000 · Jul 18, 2021

Hi, first post here.

I have an MSI GE75 10SF-035 with a black screen.

HDMI output and everything else seems OK still. I used Windows installed on the flash SSD via the HDMI output for a while, which was still working, but that installation developed a problem and since then I haven't been able to boot any OS as I can't see the BIOS screen or the boot menu screens to select an alternative boot device (I understand the BIOS and Boot Menu screens don't come through the HDMI output, only the laptop screen, which is just black for me).

I Pressed a button the on MB which looks like a reset button to me, or maybe a BIOS reset. No change.

RAM is good. Flash SSD appears to be fine, due to booting previously.

It looks like a bit of a job to get the various heat sinks off etc. but I'll disassemble it if there's a reasonable chance of a repair with basic repair tools (I have a heat gun, solder station, also with a precision heat gun, precision hand tools, etc. No microscope, reflow station, oscilloscope or anything advanced though).

You may consider a new screen, msi will not give out wiring diagrams

If it's the screens backlight you should still be able to see stuff on the screen if you shine a torch on it.
If there's no display at all it is either the cable to the screen, or the screen itself.

Looks like a problem with the cable. I'll come back here after replacing.

Was indeed a cable problem. Sorted now. Cable part number was confirmed for me by MSI and I bought at Aliexpress.
