hi
i have and alienware m17 r1 laptop which stopped working. my computer guy told me that the motherboard and processor are short. i found the motherboard but i am not able to find the processor because ithe structure of the processor is different then the usual ones . normally processors for laptops are not suppose to have pins i guess but this one has is a pinned processor. its intel core 2 dua 2.26 ghz.

I'm sure the best course of action is contacting Dell/Alienware direct with your serial number etc and see what they say,
All I can find is its a 'high-end dual core processor'
sorry man,
