Alienware M15x not booting - Scroll Lock, Caps Lock and Num Lock blinking

My Alienware M15x laptop is not booting up, when I try pressing the boot button, the keyboard lights up, I can see the CPU fan running following by the GPU fan too but then all the three lights - Scroll Lock, Caps Lock and Num Lock keep on blinking. The fans stop and nothing happens.

I tried removing the battery, draining it but it didn't help. Also removed the coin-cell battery and plugged it back but still the same issue persists.

I checked out the following link

http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kcs/document?c=us&cs=19&docid=122438

which says 

A system board component is faulty.

How can I confirm this - also how to know whether the issue is with GPU or CPU or any other component?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi Pramo,

We will need to diagnose the system to know which component is faulty, please send us an e-mail to awsocialmedia@dell.com include the service tag, phone number and brief description of the issue, we'll review the possible options.
