is it cheaper to buy a new alienware m17x 9 cell battery

or refill the batteries inside , some forumers offer that here

ive never taken the batteries out , is it good to just leave it there or take it out

we come in peace

how much for 760m , 775m or maybe just list down the availabe 7XXm series price

but then u also need to upgrade the power brick from 180 to 240

i was wondering why it had that secureboot writing on the bottom right. so its bios settings , will look into it. what do i need to change in bios ?

the only problem i have now with windows 8.1 is that i cant play Batman Arkham City , something wrong with games for windows live. have tried everything founf on the net to restore it to no avail.

guys,

am having problems with my m17x R4 . Im using 660m , the discrete graphics is no longer detected in bios and device manager . All games now run on HD 4000 help sifus.

PSU 240
latest bios
reseat graphics card

perhaps this is what you are looking for

i like the fact that there is a heart sticker at the webcam very safe.

Here is my update , a few weeks back my graphics card was no longer detected in bios . however alienware hardware diagnostics says that all my hardware is working fine. Dell came last week and changed my graphics card and its now working fine. Using 660m only so yes they replaced it with 660m and not 760m

Thinking of extending the warranty now , so scared. Changed mobo few times d , first was speaker no sound , second and third due to adapter plugged in not charging/ If take adapter out and plugged back in wont detect must start from full shutdown only adapter will detect.

if we wait till warranty about to expire only extend warranty will it be much more expensive compared to extending the warranty now (8 months earlier)

i think last time i read in here someone said if using windows 8 64 bit basic version the maximum ram supported is 16gb ram is this true ? or was it for windows 7 i could be wrong. iinm windows 8 max ram is 128gb for standard version.

another noob question , my current RAM that is under the keyboard is 8+4 , so let say if i want to add another 8 is it best to remove the 4gb ram and replace it with 8gb or just add another 8gb at the 2 free bottom slots. coz i am very lazy to open everything to access the 2 slots under the keyboard.

out of curiosity may i know how much you paid for 2 years extension

im using an m17xr4

Dell send me an email quoting rm600 for 1 year and rm800 for 2 years and they say that price changes everyweek this one is valid till friday only then next week different price , not sure getting cheaper or more expensive. Maybe follow dollar rate or something.

can we just call dell support center to come and format for us ?

could you guys lemme know what do you do when you have to transport it everyday ? Like bringing it to class daily or bringing to work daily?

As for me i transport it weekly every weekend. Im outstation on weekends.

PS : that includes the notepal U3 cooler as well and kensington lock.

PSS : And then saw lenovo y50 at CES , very racun to get.
