Breaking the seal does not void your warranty. No "Warranty Void If Removed" sticker does. It's a lie. They might try and fight you on it but if you wanted to take it all the way, the courts would side with you since there's nothing in Warranty law that makes those stickers mean anything.
I don't believe that breaking the seal will void your warranty. In the case of MSI laptops, its there more as a quality assurance. If you do a repair on your laptop without sending it to them it will void your warranty, but simple upgrades like RAM or SSD will not.
@@bilgeoktem looks like it depends on the company and country. have my two friends who broke the seal, one got denied in service center and one got excepted.
How did you seperate the audio jacks? The usbs inputs stay put but the audio jacks aren't freeing themselves from the case... i dont wanna force anything because they are attached.
@benjaminechols1393 SO THAT WAS MY PROBLEM! I've just spent hours looking through tutorials because of a single factory seal sticker covering a single screw. Well at least my ram is duel wielding now. Thanks so much for replying this!
you can upgrade it and i recommend unplugging the battery whenever you work on the system, a screwdriver shorting the wrong connectors could fry your motherboard entirely -you should be able to unplug it without taking the battery out. also make sure to ground yourself so static electricity that build up inside you doesnt surge into the components
its 9SC not 95c, that 2018 was 8RC, 2019 was 9SC and 2020 is 10SC, btw breaking that seal wont void your warranty, i accidentally broke it while having it in bag and i called MSI support just to be sure, they said it wont void warranty
From what I have read, MSI allows consumers to work on their devices as long as they do not damage anything in the process. You can add more RAM or maybe a bigger SSD, just as long as you don't break anything during the process.
Man, did one of these for my roommates to do a bit of expansion. The clips that hold the case together is real flimsy. I think I broke 1 around the shell and 1 around the bezel. Might have to attempt to super glue it since my roommate didn't like it.
Can you show the model number for the battery? My battery swelled up and i was looking for a replacement for it but i havent removed the battery yet so i dont really know what battery to buy. Or a link to battery replacements would do thank you very much
I can't for the life of me figure out how to get this god awful back panel off. I've watched 6 different videos and they can just slide their tool right between the seam, on mine it's almost like there's additional clips below the surface somewhere holding it together. I've triple checked all the screws are out but it stays together so tightly I can't even get a credit card to fit between the pieces. Any advice?
@@avnishann6465 Solved the problem. The biggest problem I had was finding the hidden screw under the warranty sticker. Removed that and it was still a pain in the ass to remove, but it was obvious I was making progress compared to when that screw was still in. Turns out there ARE additional clips under the back panel on newer models. So it's MUCH harder to get the back panel off now.
@@Caffeinated-DaVinci Glad to know also ypu should pay attention for the hdmi slot and those aux/audio ports.. these will prevent you from opening it..
How do I delete an old profile without logging in? It’s somebody’s old computer they gave to me and neither of us can figure out the password or email. I need help
You will be better off replacing the LCD assembly. The lcd cable appears to also contain the camera cable and to get out the camera you would have to remove the lcd. Just getting the lcd bezel off can damage the lcd.
Does anyone know if this laptop's keyboard is replaceable? My keys: j, 3, 9 and - stopped working. All of a sudden they started to work in a kinda intermittent way until a few weeks ago when they stopped working completely
Thanks for the video. That is ridiculous the end user can't just remove a few screws at the bottom and pop the underside off for a simple RAM or SSD upgrade. NO thanks MSI. I'll look elsewhere.
@@Sellbrokedotcom a bit late but it would be pretty scummy to void the warranty if a brittle piece of paper on the back of the laptop is damaged. Its so fragile I could break it with my finger accidentally
hi im having a huge problem(in my case). i just bought one recently and today i can home and tried to turn it on, everything was normal and the battery was around 50% until i got onto the home screen when i suddenly just turned off. i then tired to turn it on again and the power icon thing on the power button lit up for a second and then turned off again and this time it doesnt even turn on again. i doubt it has something to do with the battery or it being dead but it was around 50% when i looked at it. though i did accidently get it a tiny bit wet, it wasnt like a "got the whole entire thing dropped into water" but similar "after going swimming and your swim suit dried up a bit so it wasnt dripping wet but more like a when you touch it it feels cold/wet" and i placed the wet swim trunks next to my computer so im guessing its a water damage problem. i dont know what to do and im looking every where for an answer but i cant find any, the people at customer service wasnt any help either. can someone please help me edit: sorry for bad grammer, english is not my first language
If it wont turn on with battery or plugged in you might have killed the motherboard. At this point there's no reason not to remove the bottom case and check for water damage.
I put a new ram into the slot and bent the pin. I straightened the pin and it won't boot only orange light. I straightened the pin and it seemingly slid into place. Any tips would be appreciated
Hi, can you provide me a screenshot look of that battery unit's label i.e part number/model number etc. My GF63 has a bloated battery and I don't want to open it up yet as I'm still using it until I can find where I can buy a new battery. Casing is already dented and I might not be able to put everything together once I pop it up just to see the labels... Great video btw thanks.
Same, my battery just bloated. I just took it apart and took out the battery so it the laptop itself won't be damaged. Where did you get a replacement?
hi dude, its an amazing video and i hope i had seen it before i disassembled mine, i disassembled it without taking the battery off or disconecting it, i only took out the LVDS cable that connects the monitor, and the cooler to clean, i didnt even change the thermal paste, after i put it back on it wouldn't start at all, no power, nothing, i tried with/without charger, i tried taking the battery out, then put it back on, pressing on power up for 30 sec and all those little fixes that normaly works, didn't work for me, any ideea what i could've broke that it doesnt give power AT ALL ? no lights, no cooler start, nothing..
If it wont turn on with power or battery then its likely the motherboard is toast. I don't think this model has a separate power button. You may have touched the contacts somewhere with static electricity.
@@ionut-danielfratila3855 You cna use an anti-static bracelet like in the video, or just make sure to ground yourself (touch something large and metal) before touching anything inside the laptop.
Man I hate that hinge piece! It always frustrates me the most when cat hair gets in or when I drop my laptop and have to reset the RAM. Thanks so much for showing how to work with this thin-ass thing.
To clean your keyboard use a bristle brush on the top and work it under the keys, getting all 4 sides of them, then use canned air to blast out the rest. No need to disassemble and you can't do anything from the back anyways.
Could you do a video on how to remove the trackpad? Mine's messing up something serious & I can't figure out how to get it out. I know there's a "sticker" inside that the sensor touches and you can move it to get some sensitivity back, but the housing for the sticker is built into the frame so I can't get to it without removing the trackpad itself.
i can't even click and drag on mine... i have to plug my graphics tablet in if i want to... and live2d requires you drag animations in, i cant make maps in rpgmaker without tapping each tile manually
Hi. I'd like to open my laptop to remove dust. What precautions should I take? I hear a lot of talking about static electricity, anti static carpet and so on. What should i do? Do i have to buy an anti static strap? If so can i plug it to any metal object? Can i lay laptop parts on a wood table? Thanks
Nice vid. However. I'm unable to pull the back cover as USB type-c and a's are sticking to the cover. It is just making me anxious if i break the USB connections off the Mother board..
@@edostellar I didnt go ahead with it. However, the laptop had some cracks here and there on the back panel. Also, the cover near the hinge is now not fitting snugly like when it was new, so definitely poor quality of material has been used by MSI
@@davs2628 Damn bro, I went ahead with it and somehow I got the backboard off, I had the exact same thing as you were my USBs were still connected and were coming off along with the backboard but then I did something and they werent like that. I believe there is a sequence that you must take whilst removing the backboard and then everything'll be fine
Easiest way is buy some canned air and blast it into the fan vent in short bursts. The part that needs regular cleaning is the heatsink.... the small fins get blocked by hair and dust and that's what causes overheating. If you need to you can remove the bottom case and lightly brush the fan blades.... but shooting air into the heatsink from the vent is the easiest and most effective anyways.
I need with mine because I restarted it and then got bored because its not restarting and I force shutdown my laptop then when i pressed the power button nothing happens what do i do?
if i spilled soda, how do i clean the inside after removing the battery? what can i clean and what can i not? can i just stop at removing the battery and nothing else to get a good clean?
I just bought this laptop used is there a way someone could have gotten the graphics card out? I can't seem to find it and I have never had a gaming laptop
I took off the bottom panel to get some moisture out of the fan after something spilled, but now that I’m putting the panel back on I’m having one hell of a time getting the panel to go back over the headphone/mic jacks, what’s the best way to get it back on?
@@silkil7100 gave that a shot after using a screwdriver to fix the plastic because it kept catching and it went right back on, turns out I just never noticed that the plastic was just *barely* stopping it from sliding back on 😅

Hi i have an issue with the touchpad. the touchpad seems to kind of bulge out slightly when using for long periods and also in that state it is difficult to click or press the touchpad button, especially the left click is almost impossible to click. is this behaviour normal?
Use a bristle brush and some canned air to work any dirt from under the keys. You have to buy the keyboard with the palmrest, they are integrated. There are a couple of assemblies on eBay.
If anyone can help me, when i go to take it off, some of the boards and stuff stick to the backpanel, the headphone jack, microphone jack, and the 2 usb ports all stick to the back panel, any help??
Sir, i would like to ask, how could i take the VGA out? Because the Msi gf63 the VGA GTX 1650 could be change right? My laptop is running with intel(R) UHD Graphics Family (VGA onboard) i dont know why it not using the GTX1650 Im using the Gf63 Có Laptop MSI Gaming GF63 Thin 10SC
i am trying to remove the thin bezel around the lcd and dont want to damage it, does it have glue underneath or its iust snapped? i need to repaint the bezel. Thank you so much for this video.
It probably has adhesive on the bottom part. If so you should work a finger under there to help separate it from the thin plastic film surrounding the LCD panel. Should be relatively easy though, good luck!
Hi i have the same model , i have a problem with my current unit, my gpu cannot boost anymore and it is always stucked in 300 mhz clock boost and it is supposed to be around 1000 mhz - 1250 mhz in gaming, i used Gpu z to monitor my Gpu performance and i found out that the gpu power draw is around 162 watts and it supposed to be 30 - 35 watts. any ideas on how to fix this kind of issue?. thanks in advance.
162 w? no way, 30 - 35 watts is fine for low-mid range laptop gaming GPU (especially 1650 mobile, yeah 35w is just a little bit low profile than reference model 50w). any ideas on how to fix this kind of issue? : change/modify ur power plan.
From my experience is not since they are already soldered to the motherboard. Maybe if you are an expert at manufacturing you may can replace it but normally it just can't.
my MSI GF63 Thin Laptop is overheating while running chrome or a game (goes up to 97 drg and I freak out) what can I do to mitigate this overheating, thought I might open it and look for any defects but comment section says not to remove factory seal for warranty. i just bought my laptop 10 months ago. help me, please.
Please someone help me. I just disassembled my gf63 to change its thermal paste. But after I assembled it won't turn on and the charging indicator lamp didn't turn on too. Can someone give me suggestions what's wrong with my gf63?
@@sat62183 that’s great since 512 gb of storage really isn’t much so i think ima install an additional 2 tb 2.5” seagate harddrive, that should be possible right?
@@Sellbrokedotcom Thank you very much I was worried because I have the same laptop and I was worried that if the fans failed for some reason since I am running them at %100 when gaming under heavy load that these fans are not replaceable. But if they are as you say this is perfect if I want for example a better fan or a much more silent fan to be installed instead of the stock ones.
If its similar to this model, then as soon as you remove the bottom case you can remove the heatsink. Just unscrew it, clean off the old paste, then reinstall with new paste and tighten the screws in the order stamped on the heatsink tabs. Voila! Remember to ground yourself or use an anti-static wristband so you don't bork your motherboard. Good luck!
