Nope thats not happen. I can open it with no prob. Even i can play dota2 game. But sometimes it crash and sometimes not. High end game such as Call of duty and bioshock will crash immediately

hmm.. ok, you can try another way to verify the issue. play your games with battery only. Call of duty or bioshock. See will it crash or not. If it will not. that mean you are facing same problem that I stated just now. And the crash will only happen when the card run at highest clock speed and load.

When playing with battery its fine. So the prob is graphic card. Damn. Aproximately how much is it to change new graphic card?

Depends on your requirement. You can check out my Facebook page in my signature if you want to purchase from me.

Pls advise. Many thanks in advance!

Yes, this is the one.

bro, is the size correct? Power DC Jack 7.4 mm

Guys would this be the place to download all the needed drivers for my M15x, as I'm about to change my broken HDD, so I'm guessing I need the drivers from that page as people tend to say not to use the drivers from the DVD.

Plus I wasn't sure what version of my BIOS was running before this. Is this gonna affect anything? Hopefully it won't brick my motherboard.

And there tons of stuff in there, probably will have to take a look at which hardware am I using just to find the correct drivers to download.

Yes, but always remember don't install old Alienware Command Center from the resource disk. Else you'll lost your light effect. Always install the latest Alienware Command Center that is support M15x from Dell website.

Hi guys, i just recently bought a second hand alienware 15 from a forumer. This is my first alienware and i would like to know if it is safe to use the laptop while the battery is disconnect? Since this laptop have its battery build in it and most of the time i will be on plugged in, i would like to preserved the battery as much as i can.

Safe yes. To preserve battery wear level, make sure always plugin to power. As simple as that.

alright, thanks for replying

Well, it has been awhile since I booted up my M15x due to the faulty HDD, and till recently I'd only had the chance to get a replacement HDD for it.

So after installing the new HDD, tried to boot it up and install a copy of windows, but all the screen did was go from black to white constantly, but there were like 1 or 2 flickers where I could see what's going on, and back to a full white screen.

Did some searching and thought maybe the ribbon was loose and tried to make sure it was tightly connected. Rebooted it again and managed to see the Alienware logo and options for boot menu and all. Managed to get into the BIOS and fiddle around for a bit thinking that the problem was resolved, but not long after in the BIOS, it turned back to a piece of white again.

So faulty ribbon/wire to LCD or something else? Replacing that is gonna be tough is it?

Does the flicker appear to be while on BIOS?

Nope it doesn't. Pretty much just white all the time.

Is that mean you can't even see the "Alien head"?

In BIOS screen, is basically white in whole time?

Ya, no alien head logo at all, black then white screen
