Blinking Yellow Light,or Flashing Yellow Light,Yellow Light of Death,are Plagueing Vast Majority of Alienware Steam Machines.
Easy Solution
Replace the Old CMOS Battery with New One We Are Selling to End of This Plague.
This battery resides on the bottom of the motherboard so you have to pull the whole machine apart to get to it, but once there it's a simple unplug the old and plug in the new. It also comes with a new sticky pad on it to stick to the motherboard.
Kind Reminder
After you take the old battery out make sure you hold the power button down for at least 60 seconds to clear all electricity from all capacitors before installing the new battery (if you don't you may still get the flashing light).
