    [​IMG] Hello!

    Just bought my MSI GL62M 7REX today. I was about to change the 1TB HDD to my SSD but MSI decided to install a heat pad with some special screws that won't unscrew? What to do?

    Also on the attach picture, you can see some black stuff on the rim of the fan, is that OK for a new laptop? Would it be OK to just rub it off, or does it indicate that something might be faulty?
