x17 R1, 2 red 7 blue flashes
Hello , I have a X17 R1 that’s worked great for me for a little over a year , my warranty has passed and today I went to turn my computer on and the screen stayed black , the keyboard does a continuous rainbow wave, followed by 2 red and 7 blue alien skull power button flashes , I’ve read it is LCD related , what should I do for the easiest fix first ?

There are a few things you can try. Both of these probably won't help but they are easy things to try.
- remove the adapter and hold the power button down for 30 seconds. A power drain works best if you also unplug the internal battery but you will have to remove the base cover to access the battery. You can also try removing the RAM modules while doing this.
- plug an external monitor in and see if anything is displayed on it. This won't fix the underlying issue but it's better than not having any display
