x14 R1, no post, 2 red 7 blue lights
Yesterday I was using the laptop as usually (it is 2 years old), I left home and when I arrived to use it again the laptop did not “turn on”. In fact, it does turn on the keyboard lights as well as the fans but no display is shown, not even the typical Alienware text prior boot of the main OS. More over, in the keyboard the turn on key shows everytime 2 red lights following 7 blue lights. In the manual it says it’s a POST problem with the BIOS however I do not find any solution at all.

2.7 is a display failure. First thing to try is disconnecting power and disconnecting the battery from the mainboard. Hold the power button for 30 sec. Disconnect and reconnect the display panel from the mainboard. Reassemble and hold the D key through powerup - does the screen diagnostic run then?
