Hello,
I have a problem. A Louis Rossman Type problem. I have a MSI ge62 laptop purchased in December 2016 and recently the display started having some issues. Too much hinging. I bought a replacement cable from the usual scumbags and tested that the display worked with the cable before I put the laptop back together. It was working just fine (cable also supplies signal to webcam, did NOT test on first pass). I go to put the laptop back together, blah blah blah, I plug in the power cord, push the power button and at the same time I hear a *Snap* and the computer doesn't turn on. I take it back apart and delve deep and I see that the Intel Chipset (HM170?) is blown. I don't know what I could have shorted to get that kind of reaction.
My questions are:
Is it worth finding a repair shop? (part doesn't seem to be very expensive, but labor is.)
Is this the only thing that blew? The chipset seems to have its hands in everything, should I be worried about RAM, storage, CPU etc. or would they all be fine?
Just wondering what you guys think.
