Alienware X51 HDMI Blocked

Hey,

Why is one of my HDMI ports blocked with a plug that I can't get out? Does it not work or something?

Thanks,

Charles

Hello.

I take it your referring to the X51 R3 model.

It's been blocked off because there is no HDMI port from the motherboard there anymore.

I suppose the design guru's decided no one used the mobo HDMI anymore, big mistake IMO.

At least with the older version you could potentially boot the computer up with a faulty GPU, no such luck with this one.
