Fix It Yourself
Try these steps before calling. They resolve the majority of common Dell issues.
1
Run Dell SupportAssist before calling
Download and run Dell SupportAssist from dell.com — it diagnoses hardware problems, identifies which component is failing, checks for driver updates, and can contact Dell support automatically with your diagnostic report.
2
Hard reset a Dell laptop that won't power on
Remove the battery (if removable) and unplug the power adapter. Hold the power button for 30 seconds to drain residual capacitor charge. Reconnect power without battery and try powering on. This resolves many 'won't start' issues.
3
Use your Dell Service Tag for exact model support
Your Dell Service Tag (7-character code on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop or back of the desktop) gives you instant access to your exact drivers, BIOS updates, manuals, and warranty status at dell.com/support.
shield Warranty & Coverage
Dell laptops include a 1-year Basic hardware warranty. Premium Support and ProSupport plans extend coverage to 3-5 years with on-site service, 24/7 phone support, and accidental damage protection options.
