purchased by the end user directly from Dell or from an

specifications.

How to Make a Claim
The type of service for responding to a warranty claim
may vary depending on the product and on your choices
at the time of purchase. If you are not certain about
what type of warranty you have, you must contact
your sales representative or authorized Dell distributor/
reseller or check the state of the warranty on the Dell
support web page. If you acquired the product through
an authorized distributor/reseller, Dell will only provide
the service when the end user has transferred ownership
(“tag transfer”) as part of the online registration process.
However, the warranty period starts when the user
receives the product, and registration is part of the
support process if the end user has not done so before
contacting Dell technical support.
Steps for making a claim:

go to step #2, otherwise you must complete the
