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

are displayed on the Dell Support Centre
Welcome page).
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's
documentation is available.
