Here are a few non-hardware-specific suggestions that have worked for me, not in any certain order, but I'd update the BIOS and try the first suggestion:

Unplug all of your peripherals, everything on the board (except HDD and RAM of course), and see if it boots faster. Only leave one stick of RAM in (primary slot), replace it with another stick each boot. If boots faster, replace everything one at a time, booting after each, until you find the problem device.

Try another HDD, make sure it's on the right SATA channel in the BIOS. Or even better, boot from a USB stick with DSL, Puppy Linux or Ubuntu (or whatever flavor you like). Watch the terminal on boot, see if it hangs on a certain device -this works in safe mode too.

Check your BIOS, make sure everything is legit, if it has a "fast boot" select it. May as well update the BIOS too, that may fix everything. You've probably done that though.

Poke it with a stick.

My msi u210 stays black the screen when i turned on. only the the led that look moon light..how do i fix the problem somebody know how or anybody encountered the same problem?

Hi malbasmunchy,

If you see power lights but nothing appears on the screen, it could be a "POST" (Power-on Self Test) problem or simply LCD problem.

Here are some steps that you can try.

1. Remove the battery and the ac adapter then press the power button for at least 20 seconds to drain electric charges left from the system. (You may need to repeat this step to get it work.)

2. If above step doesn't work, try to plug in an external monitor and see if you get display from the external monitor. You may need to press the Fn + F4 or F5, depends on the key designed on the keyboard to toggle between displays.

3. If you get display from the external monitor, I'm sure your having problem with the LCD components. In this case, check and replace faulty LCD backlight, LCD cable or LCD inverter. The LCD inverter is often a culprit.

4. Try to reinsert the memory module/s (RAM) of the unit, try using one RAM at a time to see if it works. A faulty RAM will cause the laptop not to POST.

5. If reinserting the RAM doesn't help, most likely your motherboard needs to be replaced.

Hope this helps.

I have had an MSI U210 notebook for a few months now, and randomly my wireless connection will fail, even though two other laptops in my house have completely fine connection. Please help! I cant deal...

Have you confirmed this by trying to use your MSI RIGHT NEXT to the router? Degradation in signal can lead to connection interruptions. If your laptop functions like the other two when you get close to the wireless router (the device that puts out the wireless signal) then that means there is just too much stuff in between the laptop and router when you try to use it, therefore causing signal interruptions. The radio waves put out by wireless routers are typically not able to go through many solid objects.
If this isn't then problem, then try updating your drivers for the wireless adapter in your notebook. Go to MSI's site, go to their support section, and download the wireless adapter drivers for your model. Hopefully that clears it up.
Good luck.
