Hello there!
I got myself an M14X just before new-year(27th of December I believe), had to purchase myself a notebook as I were about to travel to a distant country for a few months, business related.
I am dependent on this piece of hardware, but it's quite a mess, and now I really feel like the purchase of this notebook was nothing but a mistake, I've tried to solve the problem myself as I do not have time to return it. And I'm crying out for help.
The problem I encounter is pretty simple, but encounter of it is quite random. Most of the time, pretty much 99 out of 100 times the laptop fails to boot, duo to not recognizing any boot-able hard drive. As well as early in the boot were you encounter the Alien head, it often loops a few times and then just ends up black with a underscore"_" in the top left corner and then nothing. A few times I am not even able to enter the BIOS setup while this occurs, I've tried pretty much everything, even bought myself a brand new hard-drive, but it reacts the same. I simply do not have time to return this piece of equipment as I said, I rely on it, and the studio of which I'm working in rely on me, I need to fix it on spot, anyone with any suggestions on what I should do?
