Why is my computer taking a long time to start? It happened because of a spilled drink on my desk.
Basically, if water gets on my keyboard, will that make my BIOS settings slow down a lot and how long does the computer take to start up? Could someone please help me figure out why? It's an MSI GF63, I'm really stuck. I can't even try to lower the voltage now because of this problem!
I mean if a bad back feed shorted something really badly, it might cause some big problems or other issues. I guess this could be the result. But honestly, I think it was just bad timing with things happening in a series. Have you tried resetting the BIOS? Unplug your power supply and remove the lithium battery from the motherboard. Hold the power button on the case for 30 seconds twice. Then plug the power cable back in, boot up to see if it comes out of the BIOS, and then reconfigure your settings.
Wow, my brain got confused and I forgot it was a laptop for a second. Yes, maybe your motherboard is a little bent because of what happened there. The motherboard is usually just below the keyboard in laptops, sadly.
haha no worries. Well damn I managed to reset bios and ec settings thinking it would boot and it did but now I can't re unable undervolt. (Rip) Also is there no way to fix this now without replacing it ? By the way the boot time decreased to like 30 seconds (from 60) tho it was like 8 before. Is it because Its drying or something?
It probably needs to change parts so it works right again. You could try taking the whole thing apart, washing it off with rubbing alcohol, and letting air dry before putting it back together. But that takes too long and doesn't give you any real guarantee of success.
If I see a lithium battery plugged into my motherboard, I usually power everything down and take the battery out for an hour or two. Then I just let it sit in a dry room on its own. Some people say you can put it in your oven on low heat and turn it off while it's cooling down, but that can hurt things if not done carefully. You also need to bake the laptop parts on a cookie sheet without the battery for about 10 minutes so they get all the air out. It is really pricey though to fix a broken motherboard most of the time because you almost always have to buy a whole new CPU when replacing it, since these chips are usually soldered directly onto the board and can't be taken apart easily. So if the laptop isn't worth fixing, I'd say just buying a brand new one is better than spending money on repairs.
Sometimes the power button turns on now, but it won't stay on. It's stuck right at that MSI logo and kind of sits there black, or maybe it powers down all by itself. I went to a repair shop because this laptop is really old, only nine months. They said it might take a long time just to figure out what's wrong. Yikes, that thing was brand new basically. I hope they can get it fixed before then, but otherwise I guess I'm stuck tbh. Thanks for your help anyway.
