Hello, I have a major problem. I bought an Alienware M17X R3 two years ago. Yes, I realize that I was stupid, that I shouldn't have bought a laptop that I found later was pretty much just a bunch of "fancy lights". Well I wanted quality, and that's what I thought I was getting. Well recently, all of a sudden, possibly from some sort of bump or slight fall I didn't notice, I don't know, the screen now turns white on boot and beeps 8 times, stops, and then repeats. I have heard it is an LCD problem, and possibly a loose or pinched cable. However, I looked at the manual, I looked online, and no one seems to be able to help with this particular brand of laptop. I wanted to take the screen off, and then disconnect and reconnect some of the cables, but I can't seem to find any consistent way of doing that. Some say slide it off from the top, some say pinch the sides, some say basically take the thing apart, I don't know. This laptop has no warranty, unfortunately, so I'm hoping for a quick and cheap fix, if not, I might just say screw it and get a new one, since alienware seems to have a lot of issues. Thanks for reading this, and please respond.
