specialist, see the contact numbers for your region.
Returning Items for Warranty Repair or Credit
Prepare all items being returned, whether for repair or credit, as follows:

Call Dell to obtain a Return Material Authorization Number, and write it clearly and prominently on
the outside of the box.
For the telephone number to call, see the contact numbers for your region.
2
Include a copy of the invoice and a letter describing the reason for the return.
3
Include a copy of the Diagnostics Checklist indicating the tests you have run and any error messages
reported by the Dell Diagnostics.
4
Include any accessories that belong with the item(s) being returned (power cables, software floppy
disks, guides, and so on) if the return is for credit.
5
Pack the equipment to be returned in the original (or equivalent) packing materials.
You are responsible for insuring any product returned, and you assume the risk of loss during shipment to
Dell. Collect On Delivery (C.O.D.) packages are not accepted.
Returns that are missing any of the preceding requirements will be refused at Dell’s receiving dock and
returned to you.
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.
Remember to fill out the Diagnostics Checklist. If possible, turn on your computer 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 itself. Ensure that the computer documentation is
available.
CAUTION: Before working inside your computer, read the safety instructions in your Product Information Guide.
