Hi Guys
I purchased an Alienware M17x R3 in 2011 which although ran quite hot from time to time even with a cooling pad has worked fine until recently when it would sometimes take 2 goes at starting up.
This occured brielfy over a short time however as of yesterday whenever I now try to start the Laptop all I get is a black screen.
The lights come on and the fans power up but I dont even get the Alienware logo just a completely black screen.
Obviously this is outside of warranty but where do I start in trying to get a repair as I'd be completely gutted to lose this machine.
