I've been experimenting a lot lately with my old M17xR4 (120hz) , it had a dead GPU, inserted another, worked for a while and then i got the 8 beeps no posting, not matter what i try.
So i tried re-installing the BIOS blindly as i did several times before (by holding the 'end' button and plugging the power cord).. while it was beeping (installing the bios) i accidentally unplugged it.
Now the laptop does not turn on when i press the alien head, no beeps, no lights, nothing. It's practically dead.
Can't even try RE-reinstalling the Bios it does not respond anymore.
I tried removing the CMOS and holding power button, but it just doesn't work.
I guess i bricked the brick.
Did my laptop finally die with no hope?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
