Hello, a lot to explain

This happened yesterday, just normal desktop, nothing was there, kde plasma (wayland), endeveouros, just closed laptop which go to sleep mode, then returned and opened but this don’t worked
There was lights in keyboard, orange lights in power button, black screen, I tried every way to fix expect inside laptop, my laptop is MSI, NVIDIA
I did a lot hard shut down, I did long ppwer button, with or without battery, in some time without battery laptop couldn’t turn on, when click power button, this is keyboard lights, num lock automatically is enabled, gaming mouse showing beep color, black screen, sometimes later there noise
I could charge phone and smartwatch from laptop, no files, no bluetooth, no localsend or kde connect

Did power button for 1 minute, then put battery in other place, when put battery, this is automatically turn on, white light in power button, keyboard light, white light in laptop which means there battery charge, some changes in keyboard, that it’s, tried to connect to TV with HDMI, they detected, 4K but black screen or blue black screen, sometimes there something about battery on laptop by TV
Then in other same place with battery, did power button 1 minute, there was keyboard light then quit then some white light in power button on several seconds and that it’s, then put battery, automatically turn on, white light in power button, keyboard light, white light battery, some change in keyboard, power button turn to orange or red then to white then to orange, etc, then later there was noise, noise is fan noise
1 day later, tried to turn on with battery, the same, hard disk os encrypted, I afraid that a lot hard shut down might damage hard disk and I could not recover data
Charged laptop for several hours, battery light was disappeared, turn on, the same

This is just laptop bought 1 year ago, and the same problem as was with old laptop but diffferent cause, this was not linux, there always was some battery problem even in ubuntu but nothing that could lead to this and with arch linux despite there some problems because this is arch, this worked amazing
Guess might be POST black screen problem

What to do?

The orange/white power button is simple to explain. Orange it uses the dgpu and white it uses the igpu.

Did you try to use a hdmi cable and plug the notebook behind a tv to see if it boots ? Maybe the screen is dead.

Remove ssd.
Disconnect every external usb hubs and monitors.
Read in manual how to reset bios, reset it.
And see if it will show any bios boot stuff.

4

Tried, detected device, but black or blue black screen, sometimes something said about battery device by TV
So there nothing in screen

If the laptop is 1 years old i would send it under warranty to msi.

No warranty

UPDATE: removed and placed memory, hard disk, disconnected battery inside laptop, then power on, this is still the same
Laptop connect to TV, sometimes there something about power supply, black screen but kinda gray
A lot changes in power button as before, orange, white, and to power off, had to press for long times
Will send to repair, but I afraid that they could not working, hard disk memory is safe?
Anyone know which button to click to enable?
