    Hey all, got my first problem on my alienware but it's a good one...why mess around?!
    Anyway, when i got back home from a trip, I tried to power on my M17R2 and it'll power up, the fans come on, the lights will cascade on the keyboard and i have a black screen.
    I have already tried unplugging it, removing the battery, removing the coincell battery, and then holding down the power switch for two minutes and I get the same thing.
    Any suggestions?
    Also, the alienhead power switch is flashing if this helps
