I need a motherboard???
2 years ago my motherboard on my alienware gaming laptop 14 M14X Motherboard LA-9201P.
Im pretty sure this is the right one. I want to get a new one but hesitant to buy off ebay as im not sure what i'm getting is the right one. I have nvidia on this, just not sure of the version.
How do I go about getting this laptop repaired....any advise will help. I really miss this thing.
BTW: I do know it would beep 7 times and would never boot up....i had a customer service number that I called when it happened but Ive moved twice since then and can't find my notes.
Ok. I am looking forward to any and all feedback.
Thanks
Mary G

You would be wasting money on a board replacement. Seven beeps means the processor has failed. Put money towards a new laptop.

That would be this board

Seven beeps is a CPU or mainboard failure -- most likely the board, since CPUs very, very rarely fail. That said, you should let your client know that there is a possibility the board and the CPU need to be replaced -- and then let them weigh the cost of repairing a 5+ year old system vs. replacing the system.
