    MSI Gf 72 Not turning on

    Problem:
    Sort of Laptop not Powering on.
    When I press the Powerbutton I see the Lcd going out and then back on its very difficult to see.
    The Charging Led turns on when I plug it in.

    What I have tried so far:
    Checked that everything is plugged in.
    Checked the powersupply with my Voltmeter
    I donโ€™t know if ivโ€™e done it right but:
    I pressed the reset button for 30sec and then tried.

    Could it be the ram because I have two different 1. Samsung 2. Crucial?

    Operating System:
    Win 10 64 bit
    Computer Specs:
    Msi Gf72 8re
    16gb ddr4 Ram
    Gtx 1060
    Intel Intelยฎ Coreโ„ขi7-8750H

    By LCD do you mean the screen, if yes, do you see or hear any other signs of life from the notebook, can you hear the internal cooling fan running or see the hard drive activity LED blinking as a couple of examples

      No Nothing i once got it to spin up the fans 2x for a hort ammount of time to full speed and then it stopped working again.
      No nothing is blinking or beebing, except the Charging led is on when i charge it.
      Could it be that the Display ribbon cable is broken?

        You missed answering this, looking at the other content in your post it looks like you do mean the screen but second guessing is a bad idea so we need clarification.

        Is the charging LED to which you refer on the charger or on the notebook itself.

        Has this problem come about since you mixed RAM sticks or has the notebook previously worked without issue with both sticks inserted.

        Too soon to say what the cause is but some notebooks will still power up albeit to a black screen if the display ribbon is broke or disconnected but then again some notebooks will not, likewise the same can apply when the screen has failed.

          i mean the screen,
          and the Charging led is on the notebook itself

                Sorry but that does not answer the question that was asked, in your OP you mentioned the following;

                  Thread closed due to lack of feedback from the OP.
