System restore is all i can think of from here... unless you can roll back to the old driver - any in windows updates? from there i think its the chip itself but get second opinion from someone near you...

Hi Scarlet,There could be many possibilities for this. Since its a new Laptop, nothing could have gone wrong with Hardware or Software. But could be some configurations. Please let me know the following details.What is the Operating system. If windows, do you see the speaker icon on the right side bottom of the screen. Check if its muted. Or increase the volume. Hope this solution worksRegards~SmokinJoe~

If your laptop appears to boot up and the hard disk LED flashes, then the problem is probably a back light fault. This can be a faulty inverter or a faulty CCFL lamp. Please click on this link and follow my instructions to identify the fault and possible fix :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3598095-faulty_laptop_lcd_screen

If you have a desktop monitor available try hooking your laptop up to that. if you get a display on your desktop monitor then that means your laptop screen needs replacing. If you get no display on your desktop monitor then that means the GPU chip in your laptop has gone bad.

Reinstall Windows

take it to the shops they will fix it for you. :)

Press and Hold the FN function key located near the bottom left on the keyboard then hit the key that adjusts the brightness.It will be one key for brighter and one key for darker. Look for the keys they will have the icon of a round sun or washer looking circle with the up or down arrow on it.

How hard a time is it? Maybe your screen is going bad or the LCD Inverter is bad.Press and Hold the FN function key located at the lower left portion of the keyboard then hit the key that makes the display brighter or darker. There will be one key for brightness and one key for darker. Normally it will have the icon of a sun or washer with the up or down arrow.

Enter into bios and change Sata Native mode to IDE or Combined mode

one of the logical solutions is that you try to shut down the pc , remove battery and cables & then hold the power button for 8 secs. That way, you can determine if the circuitry of the monitor is functioning. Otherwise , you need to contact MSI for repair..

Unfortunately the only way to get recovery cds is to ask them from producer.
If you want to recovery your pc there may be a second way. Some producers create a hidden partition and from there is possible to recover the pc. Some of the producers install also a small utility on the computer that allow to create recovery cds.

Sounds like a hardware malfunction. Getting a replacement might be your only option sorry....

Hello megan_van

While your laptop is on, eject the optical drive and insert the recovery CD. Turn off your laptop via the power button, and turn it back on. The recovery CD should boot. Follow the on-screen instructions to do a clean install.

If the recovery CD doesn't boot, try holding down the C key after turning on your laptop. If it still doesn't boot, you will have to change the boot order in BIOS. Don't worry, this is easier than it sounds! Follow these instructions:

1. Turn on your laptop, and look for a message that says something like PRESS (USUALLY F2, F8, DEL, ETC.) TO ENTER SETUP / BIOS. Hit that key before the Windows logo appears.

2. After hitting the relevant key, you'll be taken to the BIOS setup utility. All BIOS utilities have different appearances, but it is basically a set of menus containing different settings for your laptops hardware. Somewhere on the screen (usually the bottom), is a set of instructions for navigation your way around the BIOS. Follow these instructions to navigate your way to the option for changing the boot order.

N.B. Since every BIOS setup utility is different, the specifics on where the boot order options are located varies from computer to computer. The menu option or configuration item might be called boot options, boot, boot order, etc. The boot order option may even be located in a general menu like advanced options, advanced BIOS features, other options, etc.

3. Once you've located it, use the navigational controls to place the optical drive above the hard drive (usually the +/- keys). To be certain that the recovery CD boots, it's probably best to move the optical drive to the top of this list.

4. Within the navigational controls, there is usually an option to SAVE & EXIT. Press this key. If there isn't, look for a menu option with the heading EXIT. A SETUP CONFIRMATION box will now usually appear asking you to confrm the changes you've made to the BIOS before exiting.

N.B. The SETUP CONFIRMATION box can sometimes be worded cryptically. Read the message carefully to be sure that you're saving your changes instead of exiting WITHOUT saving your changes!

Your computer should now restart automatically, and the recovery CD should now boot.

Hope this helps. If you require further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.
