Hello community,

My M18x-R2 is out of warranty (Received the M18-R2 in August 2012 as a replacement and it came with a one year warranty.) I tried contacting the out-of-warranty support, but to no avail. I suppose I'll try again later. SO...

M18x-R2 will not boot. The lights will turn on and fan will kick up. Then it beeps. It will go in 2 counts - beep  beepbeep - a total of 3 beeps. 

According to the beep codes, 3 beeps: Possible motherboard failure - chipset error(Contact Alienware)

Seeing that I am out-of-warranty, I would appreciate your expert opinions/recommendations on how to resolve my computer-less situation. Thanks in advance.
