Hi!
My laptop is since last night totally refusing to charge, which leaves me to think that the dc port is broken. But then i started thinking, is the dc port part of the motherboard? Because that sounds expensive to replace.

Anyone had any experience with MSI's global warranty?

Never dealt with MSI support. If its not the charger itself then it probably is the port which would be soldered onto your motherboard. If you're still under warranty I'm sure MSI would replace the mobo for you.

Hope that works out for you! Keep us posted buddy.

It is fortunately still undert warranty! Hope to hear back from the retailer soon

Does the power brick have a status light on it? If so is the light on when the unit is plugged into the wall? If so it more than likely is the dc port on the mobo.

Yup the little power brick thing seems fine, gets warm as usual and lights up. Going to return it to the shop later today, hopefully i will have it functioning in a couple of weeks

Best of luck!

No idea on that one man, good luck.

Will have it back in 3-5 weeks. Oh well, gets me time to finish skyrim and finally buy dark souls. That should keep my gaming needs in check

Sorry to hear bearhug! Hope to see you back on soon

PS: UNARMED DRAGON BEATING - Tis fun, try it

Dark Souls is the only game that once I had beaten it I spent 5 minutes pelvic thrusting the screen as the credits rolled. My girlfriend didn't know what to think.

Haha! Yeah im probably going to get a similar reaction from just the constant swearing at the tv

Never even heard of Dark Souls... wasn't that like a three player D&D game on PS2?

You might be thinking about Demon Stone, which was a forgotten realms game on PS2/XBOX/PC. Dark Souls is a "sequel" to Demon's Souls.

Its like snuggles said a spiritual successor to demon's souls. Its suppose to be difficult as shit but rewarding.

Edit: I have a question, if it turns out that my computer is fucked and can not be repaired. Would this http://www.inet.se/kundvagn/visa/1617770/2012-03-22 computer be good enough to stream with? I am not getting a laptop again im pretty sure

That should stream the fudge out of anything you throw at it. Also good call on moving away from the the laptop.

Still hoping they can repair it though, i only bought the friggin thing last year for more than that desktop costs

Yep I learned my on lesson gaming laptops a few years back. They seem awesome at first but cramming that much power in to such a small space tends to cause heat and wear problems rather quickly.

Hope they are able to fix it.

Yeah especially this problem seems to be quite common, a friend of mine got it a few weeks before. Going to go to one of them internet cafés this weekend. Need my dota

Demon stone is exactly the game I was actually thinking of, good one.

And yeah BearHug that rig you posted a link too would def be more then enough. We all learn that lesson the hard way, I had two gaming laptops (Alienware, ugh) that both went bad after less than two years due to heat issues.

ok getting back on topic, the DC port IS part of the motherboard, but is is INCREDIBLY EASILY to remove and re-solder a new part. my ASUS did this right before christmas and since my office is around the corner from their tech lab i had them fix it in a day. if you call MSI you can tell them you need your computer for important work purposes and request a rush. might be 1-2 weeks instead.
