Chosen Solution
I couldn’t select my actual computer (Alienware 15 R4), so I selected the closest thing to it as this computer was released around the same time as the 17 R4. I got this Alienware 15 R4 a little over a year ago and had recently disconnected my laptop battery in August because it wasn’t working. I’m a college student so I needed a good laptop, I turned it off this morning after class because I had to urgently attend a college event, but I either straight up unplugged it while it was on, or I unplugged it while it was turning off because it seemed off (I was in a rush). When I turn it on now, it doesn’t properly turn on and starts sending out a beep code of 3 beeps, then a pause, then 2 beeps, a pause, then 1 beep. I have no idea what to do and I desperately need help quickly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
