Obtaining Assistance

CAUTION:

If you need to remove the computer cover, first disconnect the

computer power and modem cables from all electrical outlets. Follow the safety
instructions that shipped with your computer.

If you experience a problem with your computer, you can complete the
following steps to diagnose and troubleshoot the problem:

1 See "When the Dell Diagnostics Main Menu appears, select the test that

you want to run, and follow the instructions on the screen." on page 51 for
information and procedures that pertain to the problem your computer is
experiencing.

2 See "Dell Diagnostics" on page 50 for procedures on how to run Dell

Diagnostics.

3 Fill out the "Diagnostics Checklist" on page 70.
4 Use Dell's extensive suite of online services available at Dell Support

(support.dell.com) for help with installation and troubleshooting
procedures. See "Online Services" on page 66 for a more extensive list of
Dell Support online.

5 If the preceding steps have not resolved the problem, see "Contacting

Dell" on page 71.

NOTE:

Call Dell Support from a telephone at or near the affected computer so that

the support staff can assist you with any necessary procedures.

NOTE:

Dell's Express Service Code system may not be available in all countries.

When prompted by Dell's automated telephone system, enter your Express
Service Code to route the call directly to the proper support personnel. If you
