Hi guys,
just recently got an Alienware 15 R2 with stock configuration on the storage (which is a 1TB HDD).
Since I have a M.2 SSD already, I thought I could upgrade the storage on my own until I opened up the undertray and found out that Dell didn't include the screws to secure the SSD to the slots.
Upon further investigation, I found out that the screw size is not the same size as the others, in fact its much smaller.
As of right now, I'm still waiting for the reply from Dell support.
Update#1: Just remembered that I had a spare laptop and salvaged some M2 X 3 mm screws for installing the M.2 SSD on the A15 R2. Popped in the SSD and put back everything in order, power on and no display whatsover. Removed the SSD and power back on again however shows display and able to boot into windows.
Update#2: Tried putting the SSD into the 2nd SSD Slot but sadly the same result. Now I am running on the stock HDD
Hmmmm
