My MS-1032 isnt booting!

Screen is completely black, the fans start going but I hear no sound. It wont even enter bios. Whats wrong? Is my motherboard fried? Or do I need to flash my bios?

 

You have to give some more detail. What and when it hapened ect.

 

Sounds like you already did flash your bios...

You can try disconnecting the AC and battery for a minute to see if that helps, my 1036 occasionally gets stuck (especially after a freeze) and must be disconnected like that.

 

What happened was that the laptop locked up during the startup with the company logo in the bios. Nothing worked at this point, so I had to unplug the battery in order to turn off the computer. Now it only shows a black screen when I turn it on.

I did try removing the AC and the battery for a night, but it was just as dead next morning.

Flashing the bios means resetting it to default, which I think would fix my problem, if it is my bios that isnt working correctly. Problem is that I dunno where the cmos battery is placed.

 

Remove the system doors, the battery will be in view. It should be coated with plastic with 2 wires, remove it from the system board for about an hour. Also make sure A/C and main battery are removed. This should clear the bios, i have seen this correct similar problems.

 

I have exactly same problem, PC won't boot at all. It is similar to thread=77678.

Does this mean that I have to unscrew and remove the cover to get inside of casing?

What I am supposed to do afterwards? PC should start without any problems or I have to restore the system?

thanx

 

Well,I removed the outer battery (I haven't open notebook at all) and I din't touch it for few ours and suddenly It started as it should, without any problems

 

My 1022 used to do that, I would hold down the power on button for a few seconds longer, and it will usually boot up normally. But I'm not experiencing the problem anymore now, though I'm not sure what I did to fix it, sorry.

 

Another universal MSI problem no one will admit to.
