THANK YOU!
What is the size of thermal pad?
I am a little late to comment but how do I jumpstart the laptop? I want to verify that the laptop receives the power on signal and want to jumpstart it but how do I do that?
Thanks for this informative video. How do you remove the keyboard?
How much would it cost to pay someone to solder the sata port in, and is it even possible?
Nice video! Is it possible to upgrade the gpu or, in case it’s not, to use an extern one?
modern laptops do not have upgradable gpus, youll have to settle for an external one unfortunately
yo how to change the thermal paste?
I love the part where he finds the second m.2 ssd slot that I was looking for because that's the reason I bought it so I can add my 2 terabyte ssd for extra storage. As always great video. Ps you should add an affiliate link in the description so that people like me can save time and buy rope at a discount so I can hang myself. Thanks have a great the rest of your life.
This comment just made my day! :D :D
@@MakaiTechReviews little do you know this is the 4th laptop I've gone through and now I'm giving up.
Where is it? I can’t find the 2nd slot man….
@@adesheddie1 that's the joke. There isn't one.
@@cbasdfno877 it's hearbreaking read this. I have one and thought it was possible before the last comment
This heatsinks are with nickel-plated copper bases?
Can you give us the SATA3 Model that would work with those pins ?
have you had hinge problems with this model? i have the bravo 15 model and it has the same chassis, so i was wondering if it is possible to make the hinge a little bit softer to open it without take off factory seal (maybe taking off the bezel).
Bonjour, j ai un problème avec le même model de pc, le clavier seulement s allume et s étein 30 sec après. L écran reste noir et rien ne se passe quand j appuie sur le bouton on aucun lancement help me please ❤
Hello, dear sir, I am your follower from Palestine and I want you to answer this question for me: How can I change the keyboard light shield in the same laptop and do I need to remove the cooling system until I get to the keyboard light shield and also do the keyboard shield and keyboard light be together In the same shield, I hope you will respond as soon as possible, thank you, because I suffer from a sudden interruption in the keyboard light, and I want to determine the problem from where
Hey Makai!
Glad to the see that Video. I have the GF66 as well. Months ago I had an accident in the morning, moved wrong, cup of coffee overturned, whole coffee went over the keyboard. I reacted fast turning the laptop around to let it drop off.
At 13:00 it looks that the metal plate is some kind of protection to separate the keyboard from motherboard. What are the chances in your opinion that something went inside?
Laptop is still running and seems nothing happened. Some keys felt like sticky pressing it down. But it was gone away after a few days.
Lately I am worried. Replaced RAM and M.2. Since then I had 2 Black screens with white Lines and one black screen with white squares obstacles. I am insecure that these are late effects from my coffee accident month ago. What is your opinion to the chances that coffee went into the electric?
Hey, well without checking the whole motherboard it is hard to tell if these issues are caused by the accident or not, but most likely thats the case. If you did not done it yet, I suggest remove the motherboard and inspect it if there is any visible mark. Technically you can clean up those spots with Isopropyl alcohol (it is good to desolve sticky materials from the pcb, but also vaporize pretty fast so wont cause any short, when you power back on the laptop). The metal plate somehow can "guard" the motherboard, but not totally sealed so some drops can still flow through. The tricky situation is cleaning the keyboard assemly is such a pain, for that I suggest to remove it completly and (1. use an ultra sonic cleaner) or (2. submerge it in a soapy warm water and try to use a brush to remove as much coffee letfovers as possible) - dry it with warm, but not too hot settings with a hairdryer until it is fully dried up. Put it back and profit. Hope I could help.
@@MakaiTechReviews hey thanks for the informative answer. The thing is those issues never appeared directly after that coffee thing. The period between accident and issues is about 2 month I guess. So I can imaging that liquid wise i was lucky. The first bluescreen appeared 1 month after I received it. However I will not disassemble the motherboard. It is just 6 month old now and I still have warranty. I will send the issue and notebook to MSI if the issue appears again and let them diagnose. Evtl. The book gets traded by a new one. Disassemble it by myself will kill warranty. Let's the if the issue appears again. I will let you know here. Cause in the meanwhile I replaced RAM and exchanged the Kingston SSD against two 970 EVO Plus. Makes that thing a beast in his generation.
@@mzockt Dont know if you tried it or not, but if blue screen issue can also be caused by incompatibility with specific RAM brands and models. Usually these kind of issues can be mitigated with a BIOS update. Did you checked if there are any new version of it?
Nice video. I recently bought a GF66 12UG, similar to this one. Temperatures are going high as 98C when gaming. Technical support tells me its normal and to replace thermal paste myself. Does it make sense for a brand new product? Do you have any recommendations on the thermal paste?
2 option
- upsiren pcm-1
- ptm 7950
“Only” i went from 100c to 70c
Arctic is good and cheap too
MSI laptops have some heat problems in general sadly.
But if you have some technical capabilities you can fix them with only two problems remaining,those being aesthetics and portability.
What i did on this exaxt model is i took 3 12V PC fans,stuck them together in series,and hooking them up with a 12V plug from an old router.
I put them under the holes where the laptop takes air,also leaving a 4or 5 cm gap between the new 12V fans and ground so they can pull cold air ass well,that brought my temps from 85C on mw3 campaign with everything to extreme to 55C constantly.
It’s possible to upgrade the cpu? (I7 to i9) or not? Thanks
most likely no, the cpu is most likely soldered in
Can i just buy a SATA 3 CONNECTOR AND INSTALL IT MYSELF FOR A 2.5 inch SSD?
Very good question, actually never tried. But the overall layout is identical to the Sword video I created. Not sure if any other components will needed in order to make the sata connector work.
@@MakaiTechReviews well the major issue im facing is actually finding that connector i don't think they sell that actually to the public I'll maybe try buying an old motherboard and scrap it for the connector
Nice video
I disassembled the katana gf66 and changed the ram. Now the laptop turns on but the display remains black. I know the laptop is on because the keyboard is lit up. Any idea why this may happen?
did you damage the display cable at all/ un plug it
@@SharmanDoom thanks for answering! In the end it was solved. I had inserted the memory card wrong
Hello, about the ssd M.2: does the mother board support pcie 4.0 nvme? Thanks
For 12th intel cpu and 6th gen amd cpu , it supports
Nice Video :D Nvme m2 is a 2280??
Yes 2280 m.2 nvme ssd.
Can you upgrade the GPU
Can I install hdd
can upgrade HDD?
Very good! Thanks!
Man, so, can i add a second Nvme disk for more storage?
No, you cannot. There is only one m.2 NVMe slot. All you can do is swap out the current for a bigger one.
Can i remove the blue seal on balance weight?
Why would you want to do that? 🤔 But yeah I think it is rempveable.
Katana 15 and GF66 🫠 nani ??
Do we have to reinstall windows after we swap ssd with bigger ssd ?
Of course, or what you can do is clone the old drive to the new one. (AOMEI backupper for example)
@@MakaiTechReviews can you make a video for that too it would be really helpful
@@punyajeetdas2514 depends on OS the steps for get the clone SSD in a safe way. I found a youtube video where explains the steps czcams.com/video/ElJJ5Sl4DoQ/video.html
I bought 1 tb ssd to upgrade and now i'm crying
Why?
@@MakaiTechReviews because here is no second slot for it;(
@@MakaiTechReviews Your video is simply amazing, it's only thanks to it that I gathered the courage to disassemble and replace the thermal paste in my laptop. Thank you very much.
Can I add a sata ssd or nah?
The slot itself is missing, so not possible.
@@MakaiTechReviews do you think it's possible to solder one on?
@@reckavinas4720 Можно припаять SATA
how can I add another slot for SSD ?
