Well after my warranty expired, and my beloved Alienware fell off my desk damaging the case, I found some colored parts on Ebay and thought I would give it a whirl! Here is the result, the colors might not really match, but its certainly...

Ok... I am still having power issues, like sometimes it will turn on, sometimes it wont. Lights dont go on the back (like orange for battery and purple for power conection) No lights go on the power button either. Ahh

Will keep posted, TAHNKS FOR HELP!!

YES!!! I switched out the ram and got a boot!

Ok heres where I stand, computer has no trouble getting power now, but still have blank screen. I removed the HDD and am turning on with the restore cd in the drive- nothing happens. Ideas would be great thanks

Yea they were in RAID 0

Actually, the hard drive can be ruled out as I used an old laptop hard drive that did not work (i had upgraded to dual 80 gigs from a 60 gig)

Could you tell me how to do a c prompt?

Hmm thats a thought!

I dont believe the mobo had a problem before this, as I was using the system fine with the damaged case. My mouse is not getting power. And it appears that the only way I can get the system to boot is if I leave it unplugged for a minute...
