Aurora R7, won’t boot
my alienware aurora r7 randomly stopped working one day after i turned it off. it froze a couple times so i had to force shut down, i left it for a night and then it never turned on again. its showed me solid amber on the power button ever since. i replaced the gpu as well as the psu and it’s still not working and im concerned it could be the motherboard?

Replace the coin cell battery with a new one. Then, clear CMOS using the jumper.

Power button LED is SOLID amber. A possible system board failure has occurred.
