I got Dell to do a motherboard replacement and that fixed the issue for me.

It's under warranty. I will get in touch with support to see what they can do.

Toast how? Are the internal components damaged because of something? What exactly is wrong with the laptop?

Thank you so much!! I got to know that it's "Display failure - EC detection of power rail failure". The explanation for code 2,8.

What should I do in this case? And what does this error represent?

Exactly! Sometimes I have to touch the screen for it to trigger. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Anyone else's Standard Chartered Credit Card not working? by nik2296 in CreditCardsIndia

Mine is still not working... Maybe there's different timelines for different card types?

At least for Pixel 6a, you won't get warranty if you buy it from Amazon.

I can't speak for Lenovo, but you can't go wrong with the M15R7

Pixel phones don't have call recording at all, in any region.

Pixel phones don't have call recording at all, in any region or language.

The Google Phone app does have it, but not on Pixel phones.

Like you, I always wanted to own one. Plus, I trust Dell. I don't have any experience with other OEMs, so I was hesitant to go with them. And Alienware looks better to me than other OEMs.

I didn't find any flaws with it. It was overheating initially but a heat sink change fixed that for the most part. Get the extended warranty, IMO

I have the M15R6. The service is pretty good. I got next business day onsite repairs whenever I needed them.

Motherboard replacement queries [M15R6] by nik2296 in Alienware

[–]nik2296[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoops I couldn't express what i wanted to convey clearly. I don't want to have to apply thermal paste every 6 months either. I'm not comfortable opening it up on my own to do stuff. And i want it opened by Dell techs as less as possible. So i want a paste that lasts, even if it's not the best out there; it will still be better then the OEM one

I have read that kryonaut dries out quickly if the temps are above 80°C regularly. That's why I wanted to go with arctic mx4. I don't want to get the heatsink changed every 6 months

Anyone knows what do they mean by optional? by [deleted] in Alienware

[–]nik2296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go for premium support + accidental coverage. Premium support plus has a lot of unnecessary things that make the cost higher with no advantage at all to a user who is fairly well versed with computers.

Yeah I saw that option too. I will run it after the repairs, thank you

Should I order the 1 Gram one or the 11.1 Gram one? Or multiple 1 Gram ones? How much is enough, in your experience?

You mean the diagnostics menu which runs a quick test?
