The other look at the CD disk door. Hit the button. If there no power there will be a small hole in front. Need use heavy paper clip. Unbend so you only one wire is sticking out. Need to push the wire straight into the hole. You hit a flat piece inside. Slowly push the wire in the door should pop open. eject_03-1yiaktdcezrqr4itg14rqp0v-4-5.jpg

What to do when my alienware tells me missing operating system

It sound like a bad disk. You try reloading the OS. But if it is a bad disk it is going to die again after loading the OS. If it uses SSD drive kiss the drive goodby. Replace drive. If you have a cd drive you can get a copy linux live. It will fit on a CD disk and can be boot from. Need to have the computer to look for CD drive for boot first then disk drive second. Knoppix is the one I use.

Alienware m14x plugged in not charging

I had to deal with the new power supply. The problem is the went from a two contact plug to a tree connector. They made the power supply with a little smarts. The third pin was serial memory in the that tells the computer what size power supply is connected to the computer. If the power supply is a smaller power supply than came with. At one time they a different size connector for different size power supply. So you can connect a smaller power supply to a larger computer. You can burn out the power supply. The one draw back was if the memory chip died the computer would think the power supply was too small or a third party power supply not made for the computer. I've has two power supply where the chip died and the computer would not charge. I had other computer that use the same power supply and the computer would startup and charge the battery. Also if the computer thinks it had a smaller power supply the computer cut the cpu speed. I don't know why if it has smaller power supply why it could not just charge the battery and run the computer from the battery. If can find another power supply to try to see if computer run at all will run. Another problem was the power supply pin sticks out the side and is easy to hit and break the solder connector contact on the inside. You need someone that can take computer a part enough to see if the power supply connector was lose on the board. Volt meter the power. Outside ground, inside +, center pin is the ID pin or memory pin. acbrick_contacts1-1yiaktdcezrqr4itg14rqp0v-2-0.jpg I hope this help. I like old power supply. They were simple.

Can't connect to Thomson TG 712 router Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205

Reset the router to factory. Also, be sure there are no IP address conflicts on your network. It might be that one of your routers already is using an address. DO you have multiple routers on your network?

LOCKED OUT FORGOT MY Admin pw on a DELL LAPTOP

Which administrator account are you talking about? The 'real' administrator or your normal "administrator group" account? If it's you normal account do you have another account with administrator privileges? Rather than wait for answers I'll cover the above three possibilities. If it's something else I'll need more input. 1) If it's the real administrator, this is a fairly easy fix (that I had to do the other day because my OEM set a password for the account). ·Open Control Panel > User Accounts and select the option that allows you to change other accounts; ·Select the Administrator account; ·Turn off password required. Changing this option will not require a password. 2) If it's your own account but you have another account on the system with administrator privileges, the procedures above will work as well here. 3) If it's you own account and no other account has administrator privileges it will be much more complicated. First, make a try at changing the account you are in to administrator. It's unlikely this will work and would be a major security hole, but it's worth a shot. If that doesn't work, try booting to a command prompt and activating the real administrator. The procedures at this link attached with this post/answer, will walk you through booting to a command prompt. Once at the command prompt type the following two lines: Net user administrator /active:yesNet user administratorp@ssw0rD Notes: 1) These two lines can be in any order; 2) "p@ssw0rD" is an example, type any password you ; and 3) The password line may not be needed in your case. I added it because my OEM set a password on my new computer. If they did on yours as well, you would have to boot back to a command prompt to change the password later so may as well do it now. You can always turn it off later. Once you have the real administrator activated, boot back up and logon to the administrator account. Once there, use the procedure from "1)" above. this third possibility may not work, I've never actually had to try it this way, but it makes logical sense. Good luck. Windows 7 help and support forum

SD Card and disc stuck in CD slot of Alienware M14x?

try taking a small piece of wire and bending a small hook into one end slide it in on TOP of the stuck disc and hooking the center hole of the disc, (you don't want to get the wire under the disc because you could damage the disc reading hardware) also once you have the disk hooked you may have to use the tweezers to gently hold the front of the disc up to align with the slot as your pulling it out. you should feel a little resistance but don't try to force the disc out too hard.

Fail PSA V4220 Error 2000:0150 Hard Drive. No hard drive detected,or disk controller not supported How to fix it?

For the most part not fixable. You can take the hard drive to a computer shop and they can pull off all of your files for you to transfer to your new hard drive. You will need a new one. Not all files will be recovered. You can on a wing and a prayer re-install you windows and try to get it up. I am sure your Hard Disk has a bad partition on it.
