    You might be able to check with MSI to see if they do it, or possibly where you got your computer (if you got it through a reseller) as well.

    If it's under warranty then MSI will fix it free of charge but if it's not then they will charge you for the repair.

    If only they will have spare parts :) it is getting end of life ... As far as I know they firstly repair last models with warranty - and generally awaiting for parts is long ... (leak material).

    I'm very interested. Could you send me photos and information? [email protected]

    It's long out of warranty (I purchased from you several years ago). Do you do repairs? If so, what would you charge?

    Have you called them to verify? Because if MSI doesn't sell the parts then nobody can get them unless someone's stripping out the parts.
