Im back Need Help

okay well after 2 years i have sold my alienware m11xr2 i missed it so much that it ended back in my hands after buying it broken and fixing it :] bought it again way cheaper then i sold it and trying to fix it again but this time to keep it [ my question motherboard doesn't want to charge the battery anymore or the battery is fried i disconnect the power adapter and it just turns off it does get a warning before it boots up says charging not working or something like that my question is the motherboard messed up? because i cannot find another i7 motherboard on ebay :[ or does it need a new battery? thanks alot guys manny

 

Can you get a picture of that for us?

If it boots, then you are probably fine. It might be your charger (you can get one for 12 buck free shipping on ebay), or your battery might need to be replaced.

If the charger is good, then consider cycling the battery. I can walk you through that if you want.

Alibaba has the i7 r2 mobo for $150 shipped, and you pay with paypal, so you are completely protected.

Does that answer the question?

 

I would look for an adapter/battery 1st, then mobo as the last option. I'm pretty sure the battery may be the issue.

 

will look into this :] it was running on throttlestop all this time since i sold it to him lol

 

Yes, definitely try the battery first. Sounds like countless other computers I have worked on where the battery goes bad.

 

I'd say go for the power adapter replacement first. I, pretty recently, had a problem very similar to this where the computer would first start up to tell me that the battery wouldn't charge because the adapter was incorrent so the battery wouldn't charge at all. I thought it was the battery or motherboard as well, but a new adapter fixed the problem perfectly. Also, reading forums, it looks like the power adapter is one of the first Dell parts to go bad anyway (as opposed to battery/power supply, etc.).

 

okay i ordered my screen already but i find out the fan isn't spinning at all so my motherboard would reach over 93C and turn off by itself should i order another fan or should i just order the whole motherboard as i can find one cheaper and i found out its the battery its 100% weared i did the cycle process and reseted my motherboard i wouldn't get that message at all but my battery wouldn't even charge 1% i am really thinking what should i do the new motherboard comes with a fan already i know i wont throttle stop it anymore but whats your guys take on this?

 

Okay guys today i got my new fan and heatsink they were a used one from ebay from a r3 when i was testing my laptop i seen the fan wasn't on so it would overheat at 92C this would happend all the time so i went in changed the fan put artic silver 7 and evreything so there i booted it up seen the fan spinning in a low rpm spin so i got frustated overheated 3x again trying to figure it out so what i did is downloaded the bios again ran it rebooted my system now its running at 40-48c and my battery is charging it has 18% wear but its charging im so happy that i fixed this thing i really thought it was my motherboard i was going to pay 100 for a i7 but i midest well order it just to have it in stock just incase for the future i love this laptop and i wont ever sell it even if it gets old i love these m11xr2 thank u guys for the support it wasn't the charger or battery it was the bios.'/and fan mayby the old even works but idk im having a blast again
