    Is there a way I can get this? I've tried searching, but wasn't able to find one.

    You mean the AW17 R1 Ranger?

    They dropped the MXXx designation after 2013 but its no biggie

    The unlocked sBIOS is in the Alienware 17 sub forum though

    Input your own service tag, people were seemingly just using it as is and the individual may have had a extended warranty or something to that effect.

    You can try asking for it in that thread.
