If your laptop does not shut down, we recommend you following below procedure.

How to shut down in Windows

If the above 2 methods do not work, you can long press the power button for 3 seconds to switch off the computer.

Hey there, I have a laptop MSI GE70 MS [with windows 10 since last year] for almost two years now [sadly, that means it no longer has any warranty] and today, in the middle of a gaming session, it turned off instantly by itself and now I can't for the life of me turn it back on again.

I've been researching the internet for a couple hours now, and found a fix that's supposed to help mostly of the cases like mine, taking out the battery, pressing the power button for 30 secs - 1 minute, and trying to turn it on only with the charger. It didn't work.

I have a multimeter here [I study electric engineering], and I measured the voltage supplied by the charger. After I disconnect it from the laptop, the voltage measured is 0 volts. If I take the charger of the wall and then put it on again and measure it, I get 20 volts, but if I plug the laptop in, the laptop still does not turn on, and if I try to measure the voltage on the charger again, it's back to 0 until I take it of the wall and put it on again. Might sound a bit confusing but truth be told I can't make much sense out of this [and also english is not my first language].

Anyway, does anyone out there have an idea that does not involve replacing parts [I can't do that right now, might be a while until I can] or another tests that I can do to narrow down the possibilities of what went out wrong? I am almost sure that is a problem with something in the power supply, like charger, battery or some power regulator inside it, but at the same time, I'm terrified that it might be a motherboard problem. If it is a motherboard problem, than woe is me, I haven't got the money to buy a new one and won't have it for quite some time.

Anyway, sorry if I wasn't clear enough, and thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide :] [also, I didn't post more specific specs because of the nature of the problem, but if someone thinks they might be relevant, just say it and I will see what I can get without being able to turn it on].
