Hi. I just bought an Alienware 17 R4 and as I search through ifixit for teardown guide, I did not find any. It would be really helpful if there is a teardown guide for this device because you can actually replace stuff and fix the laptop unlike a MacBook (let it be air or pro).
Peter, great idea. Since you have one and I don’t, here’s how to do it: Creating a Repair Guide
Dell also provides the service manual. I know it’s not a teardown, but it might be helpful to someone. http://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/e… Has pretty much everything you need, including a list of how many of each type of screw is in the laptop.
