MSI GE70 2QE-681US Apache Pro 17.3" i7-4720HQ GTX 960M SOLD FOR Parts/Repair
The laptop is in very good physical condition for its age. The chassis is clean and the exterior, keyboard, display assembly, hinges, and other visible components are in good condition.
The laptop has a hardware fault and does not POST or produce video. A motherboard and/or GPU-related failure is suspected, but I have not attempted board-level diagnosis or repair.
Troubleshooting performed
Laptop powers on.
No image is produced on the built-in display.
HDMI output was tested with an external monitor and produced no signal.
With one RAM module installed, the laptop powers on for approximately one second and then restarts repeatedly.
Both RAM modules were individually tested in both RAM slots with the same result.
With two RAM modules installed, the laptop remains powered on, but the power button light alternates between blue/orange, and no video is displayed.
An EC/power reset was performed, with no change observed.
With no RAM installed, the laptop remains powered on with a solid orange power light.
The exact failed component has not been confirmed, so please purchase with the expectation that the motherboard/GPU may require repair or replacement.
NOT hard drive/SSD
mSATA SSD
AC power adapter
