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 (located on the

top of your computer towards the back).

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 your computer. Ensure that your computer’s

documentation is available.
