The most common issue with MSI gaming laptops is a failure in the power delivery system. The schematic allows you to trace the from the jack, through protection MOSFETs (often labeled PQxx), to the charging IC (typically BQ24735 or similar), and finally to the 3.3V/5V regulator (PUxx). Without the schematic, you cannot verify which voltage is missing.
