I bought the MSI gtr 680 laptop 3 years ago.

The DC connector is absolutly rubbish, I've allready repaired it once when it broke.

But this time nothing really happend, the laptop was on a table when it suddelny powered off.
And when I turn it back on, it doesnt charge.

At first I thought the connector broke again, but wiggle the contact didnt change the result. And when I power it off, I realize that it acctually is charging beacuse the LED indicator reacts when you put the cable in.

TL;DR:

Laptop only charges when turned off.

Thank you for quick reply.

Laptop Battery Going Bad

It is absolutly possible the battery needs to be replaced. I know for a fact Its the same one i had since i bought it.
I will buy one on the way home to see.

Bad Laptop Power Adapter or Charge

I can NOT use the computer w/o the battery.

Bad Laptop Motherboard

I seriously replaced it less than 2 months ago.



I guess i will buy a new battery and charger on the way home and cross my fingers that will solve the issue.
Thank you.
