All Laptop Manufacturers have bad laptops. I dont know if Alienware has more then others but at least it can get fixed. I had a Clevo XMG that cost me almost 4k and that thing all it had was issues. All i can say from thbat experience is cut your losses.

Hi
Is there any way it will boot to a login screen?
Is there any way you can find an On Screen Keyboard?
Now I realise that most of what is offered involves a working keyboard, but...........
Does F12 work?
Does hoding down the D key before powering on work?

I used to be a computer tech way back before I retired a hundred years ago. I can fix any of this. There is no easy fix and there is no back doors. It would never accept the last windows update and I'm not alone. Every other mfg update after that didn't work because a recent Windows update wouldnt work. At the end of the day it seems like the BIOS update was the problem. Everything was working great until I installed that. I finally reset windows and everything works and it actually included and installed the update that refused to update earlier.
