Open the bottom lid and look at the DC/IN plug that connects to the mainboard. Has it got signs of burning or melting?
I noticed the little bubble on the bottom lid of mine and had to investigate. Turns out the DC/in connecter is reaching over 115c when the laptop is under load and is causing the cable to almost set alight.
I have contacted Alienware and am awaiting repair at the moment.
Very good afternoon friend I have problem of rewiring the internal power supply cord in my alienware r3 17 (same as the samples) so I would like to know a solution to avoid or correct this problem thank you very much and apologize for the inconvenience

This has happened on my 17R3.

It was a faulty DC/IN cable. It was resisting too much voltage and overheating. A replacement cable fixed it and it has been fine ever since

Hi,
Did you get any feedback of what was the issue? Battery, motherboard?
