And flashing orange light is a Power Supply issue. If you see no lights on the monitor, make sure it is connected to a working wall outlet. You should unplug and use your laptop With the MSI LED Manager utility, you can turn each area on and off individually or all of them on or off completely.
BUT I did get my machine working doing the following, take the side panel off and with power disconnected use a hairdryer to heat up the inside of the computer just blow it everywhere in general and then once its nice and warm, plug the power in and turn it on, voila! if it doesn't work first If this doesnt work, i'd check the power supply to make sure its still working (charger) - is there a light on it? if not it may be worth getting another one of those.
The color configuration can also be performed in an more advanced way: At most seven zones are supported (as long as supported by your device) and the respective colors have to be supplied in the following order: left, middle, right, logo, front_left, front_right and mouse.
