Dell Alienware M14x Motherboard????

Hi decbee,

If the computer has Complete care warranty, Kindly private message me the service tag of the computer. To private message the service tag click my User name and click Start conversation.

Awaiting your response!

It's likely you need other parts as well, since any impact strong enough to have done that probably destroyed the hard drive, case, etc.

The warranty wouldn't have covered the damage -- only Complete Care insurance would have.

It's not impossible - call the Spare Parts number for a price (1-800-372-3355) -- but expect it not to be inexpensive.

If I renewed the warranty now, there is no way it would cover the motherboard I broke when it wasn't covered?

You'd need to ask about Complete Care -- which likely won't cover pre-existing damage (and will likely be very expensive, if you can even get it now).

You're likely better putting in a claim against your homeowner's or renter's insurance.

So it is impossible for me to order a new M14x motherboard directly from Dell?

Unfortunately, Rajesh, it appears that my warranty expired 2/21/2013.

I had XPS Technical Support and Next Business Day Support both expired on 2/21/2013.
