Hey all. Wondering if anyone has any advice / the same issue. The computer was working fine today, went to shut it down, and it said it needed to update. No problem, normal right? Well once it updated it has basically been a brick. Cannot get it past this screen and no f keys work to try to get it to bios. Any help here is much appreciated. Currently using it for my band on tour and we are left with no choice but to buy a brand new laptop at the last second.

Dell SupportAssist is recommending I update my bios from 1.2.14 to 1.13.1. I've been considering it because I've been having weird glitches with windows, but I've also heard about BIOS updates bricking this particular model a lot. What's the real risk? Should I just do it?

First I lost my Aurora R15, now I've lost my Alienware Pro keyboard. All AWCC thinks I have is a mouse. Each AWCC update, I hope they come back, but no.

The funny thing is that AWCC is detecting fan speeds, CPU temps, etc and I can switch between quiet, balanced, performance and custom modes, etc. It just doesn't show the desktop and keyboard as part of my system.

So really, it's only AlienFX that has lost my R15 and keyboard, would I would like them back, please.

Just in case you're wondering, I haven't literally lost them. They are all connected and working. It's just that AWCC AlienFX won't see them.

Oh, just updated to AWCC V6.14.54.0 and my keyboard is back. Please can I have my desktop back next update?!

Ive had it for 4 years, and it hasnt been hit or physically damaged. I noticed the issue 1-2 weeks ago. What could this be, how did it happen and should i be worried?

This is available in my area pretty cheap. Does anyone know what era it might be from and what I might find in it? Owner knows nothing. TIA
