[quote:Abi ~:MV8yMDc2NDY2XzM0OTU2Mjk2Xzk1MUM4NTFG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 26764444:MV8yMDc2NDY2XzM0OTU2MjMzXzFGOTk5OTFB] I was being irrational; Alienware aren't [i]terrible[/i], even if the computer has shit the bed on me 6 times it still is pretty damn spiffy when it is actually working. Got the thing back up and running, smoked a bowl, have since calmed down and realigned my jimmies. Computer withdrawal is arguably the most powerful jimmie rustler in modern day society. Got the thing back up and running. :5a: :5a: :5a: :5a: :5a: I WILL say this though - out-of-warranty tech support is FAR MORE HELPFUL than the regular service number. The Out-Of-Warranty people helped me out right away - their first suggestion worked right off the bat. The other people transferred me, told me to buy a new warranty, or that I'd have to send in the computer... I knew it was either completely fried, or an easy fix. And the fix was extremely simple, thankfully. (Remove battery - remove power source - drain power by holding in power button) Usually I mask my jackassery with a bit o' trolling, but I'm not gonna today. I was being irrational, but I am extremely grateful the thing is back up and running. Gonna get back to what I'm actually good at - making crazy music. Thanks for all the words of wisdom, advice, and insults. :5a: :5a: :5a: :5a: :5a: [/quote] :hf: [/quote]

Alienware M15X has shit the bed on me a half dozen times in a year and a half since I got it. Was working fine last night, woke up today to turn it on, nothing. NO power whatsoever.
This is perfect, considering I have a half-finished filmscore I need to complete and the computer is just dead. I just lost about a years worth of work - I should have backed everything up.
Don't get Alienware, they shit the bed if you sneeze the wrong way. The customer service sucks and tells you something different every time you call. You drop $3000 on one of these computers and the cocksuckers can't even take 10 minutes out of their day to try and troubleshoot for you if you're out of warranty. So much for customer service. A fucking multi-billion dollar company needs MORE MONEY to help me after I've dropped several grand on their touchy products?
Fuck it, I hope 12/21/12 is the fucking end. Let it all burn. Anyone got any clue on what might be the problem? I'd like some assistance in rectifying this issue before I literally hang myself.
