    Hi this is my first post on this forum and unfortunately im in need of some real help.

    I have a DELL XPS 17 L702X laptop have had it for about 7 months traded my downstairs neighbor my playstation 3 for it never had a problem untill one night came homge hit the power button and the laptop hit me with 8 BEEPS 2 AT A TIME WITH A TOTAL OF 8 BEEPS AND THE SCREEN STAYED OFF BLACK, then after the last beep the laptop turned off all together.

    And I did search for this issue on here and read the post posted by
    CGHitman14 which is actually the same problem ive went through and tried everything he did or what was suggested to him EXCEPT ANYTHING THAT NEEDED ME TO OPEN THE LAPTOP UP SUCH AS SEEING IF THE CONNECTION TO THE SCREEN WAS UNPLUGGED, im not too familiar with opening up laptops and everything but seeing that his problem was fixed because that connection was unplugged id like to see if thats my problem if anyone could help me through how to look for that.


    Other info that might be useful
    *the fan and everything does turn on when I hit the power button but everything shuts down after the last beep.

    *Once in awhile when the laptop was working the screen sometimes would dim down alot "Enough to make me wonder if it was normal" maybe after I unplugged it from the charger but only for a few seconds then it would go back to normal.
