So I bought an Alienware M11x a couple of years ago (got in a sale for a decent price). To me it was a second computer so it wasn't as if I overused it, used for about an hour of so a day. Then all of a sudden it started taking numerous attempts to turn on and then about a week later there seemed to be no life in the laptop anymore. Searched online for a number of weeks looking for a solution, attempted all solutions and still nothing. Contacted Alienware but since my warranty had just ran out they said they could replace, yes replace the motherboard for £750. So they basically wanted me to pay over 3x what I paid for the whole laptop just for the motherboard.
Basically I wanted to know if anyone else on the forum has had a similar problem and whether or not it is fixable or is it best for me to just buy a new motherboard (not from Dell/Alienware of-course).
One thing I found a little weird is that the laptop doesn't boot at all but if I plug the charger in the Alienware head lights up on the laptop.
Thanks for your help in advance.
