hi there, can we use the laptop without the battery attached? i mean using only the power adaptor straight through the electric plug

yes you can, might drop bit of performance if you have Hybrid power management on, buyed my laptop used its 4 years old now and was used 2 years, dont even checked used battery but removed it and using AC power, just after a while gonna need to replace vents…

also cooling is problem in summers, cut-off some plastics and using cooling pad (recommending with 3+ vents or good airflow)

Faut démonter TOUTES les vis ??? Je vais en perdre la moitié !

Bravo!! plus simple c’était pas possibles?

Dire qu’avant on avait une trappe coulissante d’acces (DELL) ..

Les PC portables MSI ne sont pas les pire à réparer, loin de là !

Par expérience, l’étape la plus délicate c’est d’arriver à enlever le capot car il est maintenu par des clips en plastique, après on a accès à pratiquement toutes les pièces sur ce modèle.

Aujourd’hui, les PC portables avec une trappe coulissante existent toujours, mais ils sont cher :)
