Getting Help

Before You Call

NOTE: Have your Express Service Code ready

when you call. The code helps Dell's

automated-support telephone system direct your

call more efficiently. You may also be asked for

your Service Tag (located on the back or bottom of

your computer).

Remember to fill out the following Diagnostics

Checklist. If possible, turn on your computer before you

call Dell for assistance and call from a telephone at or

near the computer. You may be asked to type some

commands at the keyboard, relay detailed information

during operations, or try other troubleshooting steps

possible only at the computer itself. Ensure that the

computer documentation is available.
