Hi @Ozzy1966 welcome to this free user to user Alienware laptop discussion forum. 

Which update failed so that x17 R1 stopped working? Please include more information. Thank you. 

Support for x17 R1 includes troubleshooting System-diagnostic lights at  Alienware x17 R1 - Troubleshooting - System-diagnostic lights  Is your diagnostic LED code included in this list? 

Please see if holding down the Fn key and then press power-on button will get ePSA Diagnostics to work. ePSA Pre Boot System Assessment Dell Overview (Official Dell Tech Support) - UPDATED - YouTube

 This is just an example. It wouldn't let me do a hard restart or ctrl, alt, del.

Hi, thanks for the reply. It was a system update. I didn't catch what update it was as it started automatically when powered up. It read "please wait, installing a system update". I'd say it had installed about 90% and then stopped. It stayed like that for about 5 to six hours.
