Alienware M17X – Here Comes the Monster

The Most Powerful Laptop in the World

Alienware has unleashed another beast from its “Arena” and this time it’s Alienware M17X tagged as the most powerful laptop in the world. For once when you read this line “Alienware M17X – The most powerful laptop in the world” you say just another ordinary stuff with great advertising campaign but this is something that you can say if you are not familiar with Alienware. Have you ever used any Alienware gaming laptop ever or are you aware of the configuration of the laptop parts used in these gaming laptops? If not the time has arrived as Alienware M17X is providing every opportunity to lay your hands on this beast and command it the way you like it.

Alienware M17X Configuration

The heart of Alienware M17X pumps all the power with Dual GPU system incorporated with GeForce NVIDIA GTX 280M GPU Video Card which is one of the most powerful and runs full High Definition.

Alienware M17X just doesn’t let you down when you think about the RAM, 8 GB at 1333 MHz, unimaginable? We are not finished yet and let’s talk about the heart which is incorporated with 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-core X9300 Processor and that’s why it is not the world’s most powerful gaming laptop for nothing and we are not finished just yet.

Alienware M17X comes with a resolution of 1920X1200 on a 17 inches screen and they have made sure that you don’t look elsewhere while having this laptop in the front.

When I say Alienware M17X comes with a storage capacity of 1TB and a Blue Ray Drive, does it excites you any more? I don’t think so and if I am right it is just the right time to shell out some money and take that beast home.

Alienware Laptop – Keyboard

Laptop Keyboard

Laptops go through far more wear and tear through their life time than the desktops and their Keyboard usually bear most of the brunt of the rough usage. Even if you have an Alienware refurbished gaming laptop and you haven’t paid heavily for it, take care of the machine as its repair may not come as cheap.

As far as laptop keyboards are concerned there are few points that need to be taken care of so that you don’t have to run to the vendor to pay for the mistakes that you have made.

• Firstly never have any drinks near your laptop as spilling liquids are the major concern for the laptop keyboard.

• Never use your laptop in the area where it is more prone to dust accumulation.

• Removing dust particles from the machine is extremely important. In order to get rid of the dust from the keyboard it is better to use vacuum cleaner. Complete cleaning of the laptop should be done on regular basis so as to keep it running properly.

• But still if you have managed to spill some liquid on your Alienware laptop, there is no need to panic. Whenever it happens the first thing is to turn off your laptop and turn it upside down so the keyboard is facing downwards. Let it stay like that for the day so that the liquid comes out.

• Cotton swabs are best for the job but you can also take a piece of soft cloth and wet it with water and start cleaning your keyboard thoroughly with this wet cloth.

• Make sure you have thoroughly cleaned the keys and placed them all at the right places.

After you are done leave it for drying up and make sure you are extra careful next time while having a drink around your Alienware laptop.

Things to look in for a Gaming Computer

For a cool and thrilling gaming experience a powerful computer is required. We know that market is flooded with number of gaming laptops. But in real terms a powerful gaming computer should include specific features like great graphics capabilities, lots of RAM and a fast processor. If a computer provides these features then you can experience a great gaming experience. Thus basic formula for a powerful gaming computer is Graphics + RAM + Processor Speed + Screen/Display. Therefore these features are important for serious gamer and enthusiast and they will never settler for less. These computers are also equipped with great graphic capabilities such as, movie editing, watching and other media and entertainment. In short there are six essential features a computer must have for gaming:

• Computer Monitor/Display
• Computer Processor
• Computer Sound
• Computer Memory – RAM (Random Access Memory)
• Computer Graphics – VRAM
• Computer Game Pad

Let me explain them in detail:

Computer Monitor/Display:

We know that the computer games have spectacular graphics quality and you can enjoy this feature only when you have some good large computer monitor which will deliver you a never forgetting gaming experience. In addition response time and refresh rate of display are also important for a smooth motion in display. Now you can choose from variety of sizes to enjoy better quality images

Computer Processor:

To enjoy the thrill of a real gaming computer you should have a fast high performance processor. Varieties of options are available in the market such as –

• Intel Core 2 Duo
• Intel Core 2 Quad
• Intel Core 2 Extreme

You can choose one of the above mentioned processors.

Computer Sound:

Another important factor to look in for a gaming laptop is its sound quality. Sound is delivered via quality sound cards. It is recommended that you should go for those with accelerated technology that offer powerful sound without putting extra load on the CPU. In addition you should have good speakers such as Logitech Z-2300 or Digital 5.1 with surround sound, which is the best option for gaming

Computer Memory – RAM (Random Access Memory):

RAM (Random Access Memory) is also important for the best gaming experience because it is responsible for the number of programs that can run on a computer without going into slow downs and crashes. We all know that gaming soft wares often come with large sizes so it is recommended to have a computer with 2 GB to 4GB of 800MHz or 1,066MHz DDR2 memory to enjoy the optimal gaming experience.

Computer Graphics – VRAM:

To enjoy the thrill of true gaming experience you should have a high performance graphic video card. Generally we saw gamers prefer laptops over desktops for gaming purposes probably because of their Laptop Video Cards.  Graphic card should have its own power supply in order to enjoy optimal display of the games graphics which is a feature of modern games especially for 3D gaming. VRAM is dedicated to video graphics and all visuals. Best options available are –

• ATI Radeon
• Nvidia GeForce

Computer Game Pad

You can get enhance your gaming experience from normal to great with your computer game pad. So it is recommended that you get the best one available i.e. you get what you pay.

HOW TO REPAIR / REPLACE YOUR ALIENWARE LAPTOP LCD SCREEN

Something Gone Wrong! Well, this one gives another reason to pull off your hair when you see your laptop screen blanked out. And I am sure it could be even more of a horrible site if you somehow have managed to drop it. Imagine if your laptop is one of those premium Alienware Models. Started having nightmares?! Don’t worry we at Alienware Repair are not to extend your worries any further rather we are all here to help your way out of the technical maze.
Once you are all prepared to be an engineer for a change, make sure that you are comfortable after reading through the entire process. Please take proper precautions when working with the tools.

Steps to Follow

Step 1: Before you start, make sure you have all the tools handy which will assist you in the process. Never presume that just because you can’t see anything on the screen the LCD screen has errors. If the screen is cracked, has dead pixels or a complete row or column is out, it is time to move further. If the LCD screen is completely dead, it could be due to the video integrated on the motherboard, so please test the laptop with an external monitor before proceeding.

Step 2: Just remove the battery first of all. Moving further is not a very tough ask as most of the LCD screens come apart the same way. Just look out for the couple of screws hidden by rubber cups near the hinges. The rubber cups also multitask at least in case of your laptop. They hide the screws and also provide the bumper stop when the laptop is closed. To remove the screws you can use the standard screwdrivers but please avoid those which can damage your Alienware Luxury.

LCD Repair/Replacement: 1

Step 3: Remove the two screens and lift the actual LCD screen which is installed within a plastic bezel hinged at the top on plastic tabs. You will see a metalized foil which is wrapped around the LCD screen to reduce RF interference. You can also see the opposing springs on the bottom hinge that keep the laptop screen in place when you adjust the tilt.

Step 4: Remember that the LCD screens are provided by the LCD manufacturers, who may supply all of the control electronics for the screen. The LCD screen is held in place by the screws at the corners. White wires are for power which is placed in the right hinge and the video signals come through the flat ribbon cable through the left hinge.

LCD Repair/Replacement: 2

Step 5: You can easily remove the video connector which are placed as simple push-ins and are without any latching. So you can remove it without pulling the cable. You can easily remove the ribbon cable connector at the back of the LCD screen by twisting a flathead screwdriver between the connector and the lip on the ribbon cable.

Step 6: And your Alienware Laptop LCD Screen in your hands now as you would find in a factory just ready to get assembled. On the right in the picture you can see the ribbon cable connectors and the power connector is on the left.

LCD Repair/Replacement: 3

Step 7: So now you can begin with replacing your damaged LCD screen with a new one. Remember how you removed your LCD screen, it will be installed the same way just start following the steps in reverse. Once you have placed the video cables correctly and the LCD screen is secured with the screws you can connect the power connector. Now you can replace the plastic bezel too. You are almost done now but before you snap the bezel into place just make sure the wires in the case and the ferrite slug don’t get pinched. Finally, just restore the little rubber bumpers over the screws and your Alienware Laptop is ready to assist you again.

Wasn’t that all easy?! Still if you find some difficulties with respect to any repairs or replacement of your machine you can always log on to Service.Ztronics We will be honored to help you out.
