MSI GT683 Turbo button is not working properly

[Shingane]

It has just been a week since I have bought MSI GT683 laptop and now Turbo button is not working properly. I don’t know what went wrong with the same, in the start it used to light up well just after I click it but now I have found that it lights up after a couple of clicks and turns off automatically after some seconds. Is there anyone who has faced this weird issue and has an idea about it?? Is there anything by which I can fix this issue??

I have not faced the issue but if you want then you can try resetting EC, If you are not aware of it then you can refer to the below steps:

• First turn off your laptop, take out the battery, unplug it from charging and wait for 5 minutes.
• After that insert the battery and power it up

Just give it a try and see if that’s making any difference or not.

That was the first thing that I had tried and I have tried resetting EC in that way several times but that’s not making any difference in my case. Other than this I have tried reinstalling the SCM software as well and even that didn’t help. I have tried rebooting the laptop several times as well but no avail, the Turbo button is responding in the same way. It does shows up turbo on at the screen and I the system tray as well but I don’t know why it does not light up after I click on it. I have installed all the drivers by now and have installed the windows recommended update as well. Anyways is there anything else that I can try out further to fix it?? Or I should just ignore the same?? Can it be due to a hardware issue? I don’t know why but I am getting a feeling that there is some kind of hardware issue since I have tried out troubleshooting it from the software end.
