I bought an Alienware M14x about a year and a half ago. Within the first 8 months the Battery started shorting out and would sometimes stop working and refuse to charge. I was never given an answer to this via customer support and no help was ever given. Several months later, when I had my laptop...

I've seen these posts all over the place with plenty of solutions, so far none of them work. Unplugging the adaptor, uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI program, removing the battery and holding the power for 10-15 seconds, all sorts of stuff. So far, nothing worked. Affects both the 9-cell and 12-cell...

Hi, I'm having a repeat of an issue I thought I had solved about a month ago. I was having an issue with my computer where, after it had been on battery power for a short time the power would cut out and I couldn't boot it up again until I re-attached the AC adapter. Alienware sent someone...

Hi Guys, I feel it's my duty as a citizen to warn fellow humans of the horrible and disgusting customer service Dell has been offering me over the last 3 or so months. I purchased my Alienware m18X off the Dell website in late July this year after extensive research and extensive discussions...

Earlier today I unplugged my m14x to move it to my room and it shut off. Upon plugging it in and starting it up again, I had difficulty logging into windows, so I restarted the computer and logged in with only one problem; I had no sound. I tried re installing my sound card driver to no avail. When I...

Hi all, Got a brand new M14x R2 and it has been great, there is nothing I have to complain about with this laptop apart from one annoying little bug. Every time I run the laptop on battery it will go through a phase where the disc drive will make a spin up/initialise sound. It gets quite...

My M14x of one year four months suddenly just switched off yesterday. There were no power surges or anything going on before hand, I was loading a game I always play, nothing out of the ordinary. It literally was loading and then one second later just went black. The power cord lights up when plugged...

Hi there, I have had my laptop for almost a year now with absolutely zero problems, then suddenly without warning or reason it will not power on. And I need to know if I need to have it sent in because my one year of warranty is almost up. So this morning I was playing a game on my M17x-R3 and...

I bought an Alienware 14x 2 months ago(i think its R1).

I already changed the settings I needed to...
