    I have an Alienware M11x. It is really in mint condition. I have only ever used it a handful of times. I had planned to take it with me on a vacation. So, I bought it for that purpose, but then I didn't end up going, and put it away really not to think about much after that. I had a bigger, heavier notebook I used. Anyway, I have finally come to where I would like to use it. It had been in a case all the time. So, it's in great shape, but it won't power on. I did charge it. No lights come on at all. Any ideas? Thank you.

    The power connector didn't want to go all the way into the socket, I discovered. Not really sure why since I had something else plugged into the same socket fine not long ago. But, anyway, I plugged it into a different socket, and it's fine.

    Glad to hear it's back up. These M11Xs are great machines and last quite long. I still have mine from a couple years back. If you get to have an issue with it, you may let me know via PM. Take care!
