Alienware don't provide it ? Replacing a new cover?

This post has been edited by EmperorScorpion: Dec 28 2013, 11:30 PM

this laptop has been EOL-ed, so i dont think Dell is able to provide the chassis.

Ic that is a sad case just wondering what if I dropped my Alienware and it doesn't't have a replacement lol. Anyway today I send my Alienware m15x to Lowyat Plaze for inserting the SSD+HDD. Everything looks fine just that they screwed my Alienware a little. And I don't think this mess can be undo or whatever.

i think those technicians used the wrong tool to pry. they should pry it with hard plastic, not with screwdriver.

But I don't think they sell that part because it's not removable if I'm not mistaken, correct me if I'm wrong. Yeah although it's a little **** up but still Alienware is our beauty baby

Yeah I don't know why are they so cow it's so logic that it can't be open up like that -.-! with a screwdriver. Anyway I didn't really check on the shop because it's so crowded and I went back checking and I FOUND OUT that my Alienware had be hardcored. T.T

i still remember the moment when i helped someone to upgrade his M18x, i did used screwdriver too but in a soft manner. technicians nowadays

hahaha.... do you know what is the thing called surrounding the keyboard both side ?

maybe they also pry at the wrong places :/

if it's not removable, it will come in one piece. which part is that exactly? with electronic parts or not?

they will never learn that. i wonder if they have at least checked out the service manual of m15x :/

i just know its a cover with built-in media keys. so i dont really pay much attention to laptop parts.

It's not electronic parts just beside your Alienware keyboard that plastic thing. 2 plastic thing beside your keyboard left and right. Don't if it's removable.

Your help is appreciated. Don't know if they still only this part lol don't even know what it called.

perhaps this is what you are looking for

EmperorScorpion For HDD upgrade, I suggest that u look into WD Black 2. That should be ur solution for having one drive bay.

horns And yes, I'm no fanboy also but then for price-performance ratio, Alienware 17 is the better choice.

Anyone here experiencing sluggish performance during playing games on the Alienware 17's matte display? I believed that the refresh rate on this is uber slow. Performing worse than my 29" monitor.

Solution, change to 3D screen. Problem, the price is IMBA. Any "lobang" for good price for 3D panel? Thanks.

OMG you found it yeah that is what I'm looking for.


I'm really appreciated that all of you helped me out. Although it's expansive because of the shipping but at least I know what the **** is the thing now hahaha.

your other option is to talk to putochip123. maybe you should also contact dell.

uh? the screen is really that under-performing?

putochip123 got "lobang" he has a 120hz screen without 3d functions to offer.

Yo. Someone summoned me.
Normally i will suggest people buy 120hz only. As 120hz with 3D will throttle down the performance nearly 75%. Where the graphic card need to render twice graphic.
Somehow laptop graphic card isnt that strong after all. So 3d is a tough job for them

How much is't dont really know Chinese here haha

it's better you ask for help from the agents at https://forum.lowyat.net/ServicesNoticeboard
