17 R4, part identification

It's the motherboard for Alienware 15 R4 or Alienware 17 R5.  There won't be a schematic publicly available.  The solution is motherboard replacement.  Depending on CPU, a new board can cost from $500 to over $1K

You won't find a schematic for free, but can purchase them for some models -- see https://laptop-schematics.com/

That said, schematics are generally of limited use, as parts are likely unavailable even if you identify what's faulty and have the tools to attempt the repair.

That's just crazy. $500-1k for just the mobo when the gfx card and everything else work fine. And people want to talk about global warming or litter? What a complete waste of quality products just so the consumer cannot fix a broken machine. I will continue to hunt down as the parts can be found on sites after I find the correct one. Thanks for your help, and hopefully someone will come through with a parts identification
