Alienware 17 won't start.
I used the fn 5 function to activate the switchable graphics which required a reboot to the system, however when the system restarted it was just a blank black screen. I can tell the backlight is on and have tried multiple solutions but have come to a conclusion that there is a hardware malfunction. When I hold fn and the power button it flashes colours and then just beeps repeatedly. Curious if there is anything else I can try or if I should send it in for diagnosis and repairs.
Cheers, thanks for reading.

Hi,
If the computer has 3D vision, the FN+F5 won't work and will cause this issue, you will be able to fix it with a CMOS reset.
