hey all,
i've got an alienware 17 R4 on my hands, LA-D751P BAP10 Rev1.0
when i received it, this was the behavior:
press power button= fan spin, led/kb illuminate for a second, then powers off. no LCD/backlight
<repeat until power is cut>
if i remove the RAM and power on=
machine would power on then LED would indicate bad CMOS batt
if i remove the CMOS batt and ram, i will get NO RAM LED error
i tried several bios dumps from this forum, which all result in CPU FAILURE LED error. some bios will give me full tron lights, others only LCD/lid tron lights.
if i write back original BIOS, i get original errors/symptoms.
have tried disconnecting all RAM/HDD/SSD, various combination of batt/AC power, have tried cleaning ME on all dumps, so on and so forth.
totally at a loss here, help please!!!
