If you need assistance with a technical problem, perform the following steps:

1.

Run the Dell Diagnostics.

2.

Complete the troubleshooting checks in Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting.”

3.

Make a copy of the Diagnostics Checklist (found later in this chapter), and fill it
out.

4.

Use Dell’s extensive suite of online services available at Dell’s World Wide Web
site (http://www.dell.com) for help with installation and troubleshooting
procedures.

For more information, refer to “World Wide Web” found later in this chapter.

5.

If the preceding steps have not resolved the problem, call Dell for technical
assistance.

When prompted by Dell’s automated telephone system, enter your Express Ser-
vice Code to route the call directly to the proper support personnel. If you do not
have an Express Service Code, open the Dell Accessories folder, double-click the
Express Service Code icon, and follow the directions.
