How and when do I contact the IBM PC HelpCenter?
What help can I get by telephone?
Sometimes you may have a problem that you just can't solve and we understand
that it can be frustrating. This document contains several problem-solving options
you can use. See the Quick problem solving chart on page 10-6 for
troubleshooting information before you call the IBM PC HelpCenter. If you have
completed the problem-solving steps in the "Troubleshooting" chapter and you still
need help, you may need to call the IBM PC HelpCenter.
System experts are available to help answer your questions. Depending upon the
type of problem, there may be charges for some calls and not for others. This
section contains information about which calls you will be charged for and which
calls you will not. You will be required to register your computer to receive telephone
support.
