For the telephone number to call, see the contact information for your region.
2. Include a copy of the invoice and a letter describing the reason for the return.

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.
If possible, turn on your system before you call Dell for technical 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 system itself. Ensure that the system documentation is available.
CAUTION:
Before servicing any components inside your computer, see the System Information document
included with your system for important safety information.
