Returning Items for Warranty Repair or
Credit
Prepare all items being returned, whether for repair or credit, as follows:
1. Call Dell to obtain an authorization number, and write it clearly and prominently
on the outside of the box.
For the telephone number to call, see “Dell Contact Numbers” found later in this
chapter.
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 diskettes, 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 paying shipping expenses. You are also 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 our
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 (Figure 10-1). If possible, turn on your
system before you call Dell for technical assistance and call from a telephone at or
near the system. 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 system itself. Make sure that the system documentation is available.
WARNING: If you need to remove the system covers, be sure to first
disconnect the system’s power and modem cables from all electrical
outlets.
