    my Alienware Aurora m9700 is doing the same thing that SPAZ's was, except i did not mess with the processor! my power button and touchpad light will turn on, and if i hold the power button the HDD light will blink a few times and then stop... if the battery is put in it instantly turns on and i can hear the hdd spinning and it lights up, same with the ac adapter... HELP

    Hi there! And welcome to the NBR Forums!

    May I suggest you go to this Manufacturer Forum, Alienware section. There you will find people who really know their way around AW Laptops.

    Link to the AW Forum is here.

    Good luck with you laptop!
