    Hi guys please bare with me here if I have posted this in the wrong section by all means move it!

    Ok so I have a GT70 but cnnot find the exact model, it came with these specs!

    Specs:
    Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM Processor
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    17.3" Full HD Anti-reflective Display (16:9; 1920 x 1080)
    NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 675M discrete graphics (DDR5 4G VRAM)
    Accelerated performance with MSI TDE Technology
    Full-color programmable backlit keyboard by SteelSeries
    Killer Game Networking
    MSI Cooler Boost Technology
    Dynaudio Premium Sound Speakers with THX TruStudio PRO™
    1.5TB (7200RPM; 750 x 2 in RAID 0)
    12GB DDR3 1600MHz system memory
    Blu-ray Disc burner
    SB 3.0 for high speed data transfer
    HDMI 1.4 (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) output
    Built-in 720p HD webcam
    Gold flashed audio jack ports with amplifier
    802.11 b/g/ n Wireless LAN with Bluetooth

    Ok so Im having an issue getting this to work!

    When I press the power button I get the white light on the power button and as far as I can tell is trying to boot (can hear the fans etc.) although there is no image on the screen!

    I have changed the screen and no luck and have also tried an external which I did get to boot to what looked like the bios one time but the keyboard was unresponsive!

    I have also tried a second graphics card in the machine and still nothing!

    The other symptoms (if indeed they are symptoms maybe just observations that are normal?)

    The touchpad lock light remains glowing orange? is that a faulty keyboard????? The keyboard does not light up like i would expect it to???

    Also when I press the touch sensitive buttons at the top they dont seem to do the right thing ie. pressing one button makes another button flash? very weird goings on

    Any help will be greatly appreciated guys

    What happens if you remove the GPU and try and boot it?

    Try testing with just a single stick of memory module one at a time and see what happens.
