Have you explored MSI warranty options? How have your experiences been?
The PC I purchased from MSI stopped working after three months. I’m unsure about using their RMA because of the many bad experiences I’ve heard. One person reported his adapter was failing, so he took his laptop to MSI for fixing. Instead of repairing the adapter, they replaced his working motherboard with a broken one. Now he has both a faulty adapter and a damaged motherboard. Another customer brought in his laptop without opening it, and MSI told him there were internal damages that aren’t their responsibility. Here are some examples of the horror stories I’ve read about MSI.

There are probably many satisfied clients. Don't allow fear to stop you. You deserve this warranty for a good reason.
I would feel more at ease if shipping and insurance costs were covered, but MSI warranty requires you to pay for these when it's sent to them. They only cover shipping and insurance when they return the item to you. A customer recently shared that after using their warranty, MSI repaired the product, yet the heat shields ended up upside down and all the screws were missing. If this happens to you, what steps should you take?
Never worry about what you should do.
What actually happens is something else entirely, based on your understanding of yourself.
Are you constantly struggling with endless self-criticism and endless emails or phone calls to MSI support?
Alternatively, you might be someone who stays calm and doesn’t notice much change in your blood pressure.
You could be the kind who would put in a lot of effort or spend a lot of money just to avoid problems or conflicts in everyday life.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to predict how you’ll feel about your experience with MSI customer service. The likelihood of a bad experience ranges from 1 to 50 percent. What does that even mean?
You might hear many negative stories about Lenovo, HP, Dell, Asus, Gigabyte, and others.
I don’t know what’s wrong with your PC. It could cost you 50 or 100 dollars just to send it back. It might be fixable for under 200 dollars at a nearby repair shop. That would probably be faster too. But your local technician might not even know what they’re doing.
There aren’t any good solutions for you. Some will be worse than others, but it’s hard to tell ahead of time.
