Before You Call - Dell Inspiron DCSLE Setup Manual

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.
Remember to fill out the following Diagnostic
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.
