Amazing laptop that is in perfect working condition but is showing some notable physical wear - namely:

  • The chassis is slightly ill-fitted, with some gaps between chassis and port. This is because this chassis was itself a replacement chassis due to the "hine issue" described below.
  • 2 of the 3 backlight zones have died on the keyboard. The remaining one only fires in red.
  • One hinge is exposed due to MSI having a build error on this model whether the hinge screws were tightened too much with resulted in the hinge eventually snapping from the chassis. I have fixed this as best I can by gluing the hinge back onto the screen assembly and loosening the hinge screw. This resulted in:
  1. The hinge action being fairly loose because tightening the hinge any further results in the hinge prying the screen bezel off (this is the hinge "issue")
  2. The bezel on the left of the screen being SLIGHTLY unstuck from the chassis (about 1mm) because of how the screen had to be reattached.
Additionally, there are some spots on the screen that are brighter than others. This is due to panel degradation. It is only really noticeable on a white background and does not affect the working of the laptop.

Comes with a UK plug and adapter since I bought it in the UK. No warranty unfortunately as it's a few years old.

Regardless of physical condition, this is a work horse of a laptop. The only reason I upgraded was because I needed to get a new laptop while this was in for repairs previously (I swapped out a dead HDD for a new one).

Interested buyers are welcome to ask as many questions as necessary, inspect the laptop or request as many pictures as necessary before making their decision, but all sales are final in this case.

Final price drop to R9000 to reflect additional listed issues.
