I have an Alienware Computer Area 51. Both the Thermocontrols and LED no longer work.?
Since the Control Center upgrade at the end of 2010 both the LED lights and the Thermocontrols for the vents on top of the computer no longer work and produce error messages upon the opening of the computer. I have check the internet and found no solutions that have worked. And tech support wants to charge 300 bucks to come look at the computer. Has anyone found a solution to this problem that restores the lights and allows the vents to flare as they did once the computer was purchased?

I have already installed the newest updates to the CC and am running on product version 2.6.1.0 (or so the task manager tells me)
