Hehe after almost 2 months of owning my M9750 it has died

Came home for lunch did the usual turned on the power walked away. Then do the usual make lunch watch the news. After done check Business Emails and News. Screen is blank so I figure LCD turned off so I move the mouse nothing at all happens HDD activity happens so ok hmm.

Hit the FN-F3 key incase i tapped that by accident. Hook up a monitor since a VGA cable is always near by. It works on that....Shut it down. Unplug VGA cable turn it on same thing hmmm. Power Down Remove Battery. turn on same thing. Reset bios same thing. So I shut it down and unplug it from the wall and remove the battery as recommended by AW Support. Come back plug battery back in and AC turn on nothing it has power. Not Display, no fans and laptop is getting hotter and hotter. A strange sparking sound is in a corner. So I open the bottom find the Chipset Heatpipe is freely hanging there no longer attached to fan.

But for a short story its dead wont boot or anything.

Hoping to get it Sent to repair asap (extracted all my data though since why wait for that stuff)

Anyone else have experience with faulty alienware laptops
