13 R3, no video, no post

Question

Hey my Alienware died a few days ago. I power drained it and held FN down because there was no video or tobi eye tracking. A series of beeps occurred, 3 long beeps, followed by a few short melodic beeps. Does anyone know the diagnostic problem for this? The laptop still charges and has an amber colored power button, alienfx is still lighting up the keyboard as well.

Three beeps means a mainboard failure.  You will need a new system board. https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=search&search=Alienware+13+R3+motherboard
