Thanks for your advice. Sure, I will follow your advice.
So, the LCD screen cannot be repaired, right? Sigh, the darkened area is slowly growing every day.
Thanks for the advance warning. Which shop did you go to? Is the repairman fully complement in repairing Alienware laptops which, as we all know, are custom-built gaming laptops? How long is warranty of repair, given by the repair shop?
I am not cheapskate in seeking the lowest repair cost, until my laptop is compromised. For sure, the repair fee should be reasonable, and not too expensive.
Thank you for your advice.

My AW14 also mobo spoilt. They quote rm2.5k + 150 labour. But i opt outside see either they can fix the chip.
Your mobo what problem? Issit about power problem?
Will check with my partner if he can provide Warranty Extension Packages.
Previously I am offering RM 350-500 package (before USD:MY went down the drain) where you can REPLACE anything you want from DELL MY, anywhere you like. Support and coverage will be 100% from Dell MY.
I personally overhaul my previous M17x for almost annual basis - changing from GPU to mobo and CPU as well among many other things.
