What will Dell do?

Prior to contacting Dell, please consult your Owner's Manual or http://support.dell.com for troubleshooting advice and directions on running hardware diagnostics.

If you purchased through Best Buy, you must have all original sales receipts from your purchase to receive any warranty service at a Best Buy store.

Upon contacting Dell technical support, you will be required to engage in a remote diagnosis session with the tech support agent to help determine the cause of your issue. Remote diagnosis may involve customer access to the inside of the product and multiple or extended sessions. If the Dell technical support agent determines that your issue is the result of a defect in materials or workmanship but the issue is not able to be resolved remotely, Dell, at its sole discretion, may dispatch a replacement part to you, arrange for you to send your product or defective part back to Dell's repair depot, or replace the product with a comparable product that may be new or refurbished. For Alienware customers only, Dell may also elect to dispatch a service technician to your location to perform the repair (see Important Information about In-Home Service After Remote Diagnosis).

If we determine that the problem is not covered under this limited hardware warranty, we may be able to offer you service alternatives on a fee basis.

We use new and refurbished parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty repairs and in building replacement parts and products. Refurbished parts and products are parts or products that have been returned to Dell, some of which were never used by a customer. All parts and products are inspected and tested for quality. Replacement parts and products are covered for the remaining period of the limited hardware warranty for the product you purchased. Dell owns all parts removed from repaired products and, in most instances, you will be required to return defective parts to Dell.

Dell may use authorized representatives to provide any of the technical support or repair services under this limited hardware warranty.

Important Information about Returning Products to Dell for Repair or Replacement:

Upon a determination by a Dell technical support agent that your product should be returned to Dell for repair or replacement, we will issue a Return Material Authorization Number which you must include with your return. You must return the products to us in their original or equivalent packaging, prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk if the product is lost or damaged in shipment. We will return the repaired or replacement products to you. We will pay to ship the repaired or replaced products to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the product to you freight collect. When you contact us regarding certain products, such as smartphones or tablet products, we may offer to ship you a replacement product prior to receiving your original product back. In such instance, we may require a valid credit card number at the time you request a replacement product. We will not charge or invoice you for the replacement product as long as you return the original product to us within 10 days of your receipt of the replacement product and we confirm that your product issue is covered under this limited hardware warranty. If we do not receive your original product within 10 days, we will charge to your credit card or invoice you for the then-current standard price for the product. If upon receipt of your original product, we determine that your product issue is not covered under this limited hardware warranty, you will be given the opportunity to return the replacement unit, at your sole expense, within ten (10) days from the date we contact you regarding the lack of coverage for your issue or we will charge to your credit card or invoice you the then current standard price for the product. In addition, if you fail to pay Dell the amounts due in connection with such an invoice, Dell may suspend your limited hardware warranty support until the invoice amount is paid. A suspension of your limited hardware warranty for failure to properly return a product will not toll the term of your limited hardware warranty, and the limited hardware warranty will still expire in accordance with its original term.

NOTE: Before you ship the product(s) to us, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other storage device(s) in the product(s). Remove any confidential, proprietary, or personal information and removable media such as floppy disks, CDs, or PC Cards. We are not responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary, or personal information; lost or corrupted data; or damaged or lost removable media. Please only include the product components requested by the phone technician.

Important Information about Part Dispatches by Dell:

For some issues, Dell may dispatch a new or refurbished part for you to replace a defective part, if we agree that the defective part needs to be replaced. You must return the defective part to Dell. When you contact us, we may offer to ship you a replacement part prior to receiving your original part back. In such instance, we may require a valid credit card number at the time you request a replacement part, but we will not charge or invoice you for the replacement part as long as you return the original part to us within 10 days of your receipt of the replacement part. Failure to timely return the defective part to Dell in accordance with the written instructions provided with the replacement part may result in the suspension of your limited hardware warranty support or a charge to your credit card or invoice in the amount of the then-current standard Dell price for that part. A suspension of your limited hardware warranty for failure to properly return a part will not toll the term of your limited hardware warranty, and the limited hardware warranty will still expire in accordance with its original term.

We will pay to ship the part to you if you use an address in the United States, (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the part freight collect. We will also include a prepaid shipping container with each replacement part for your use in returning the replaced part to us.

NOTE: Before you replace parts, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other storage device(s) in the product(s). Remove any confidential, proprietary, or personal information and removable media such as floppy disks, CDs, or PC Cards. We are not responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary, or personal information; lost or corrupted data; or damaged or lost removable media. Please only include the product components requested by the phone technician.

Important Information about In-Home Service after Remote Diagnosis (Alienware customers only):

If Dell determines that your issue is covered under this limited hardware warranty and the technician cannot correct your problem over the phone or, if applicable, by dispatching a part or replacement product to you, then Dell may dispatch a service technician to your location within the United States (including Puerto Rico, but excluding the other U.S. possessions and territories). Please tell the technician the full address of your system's location. Both the performance of service and service response times depend upon the time of day your call is received by Dell, the service alternative you purchased, parts availability, geographical restrictions, weather conditions and the terms of this limited hardware warranty. An adult must be present at all times during the service technician's visit. You must grant the service technician full access to the system and (at no cost to Dell) have working space, electricity, and a local telephone line. If these requirements are lacking, Dell is not obligated to provide service. In addition, Dell is not obligated to provide service if you fail to provide an environment that is conducive to computer repair, including for example, if you insist on service to be provided at varying locations, if you fail to properly restrain a pet, if you threaten our technician either verbally or physically, if your location or the general area where the system is located is dangerous, infested with insects, rodents pests, biohazards, human or animal excrement and/or chemicals as reasonably determined to be unsafe by our technician. If you or your authorized representative is not at the location when the service technician arrives, the service technician will not be able to service your system and you may be charged an additional amount for a follow-up service call.

If the telephone technician determines that your system needs a replacement part, you authorize the on-site technician to act as your service agent to handle the delivery and return of the warranty parts necessary to render on-site repairs. You may incur a charge if you fail to allow the on-site technician to return non-working/unused units/warranty parts to Dell.

What if I purchased a service contract?

If your service contract is with Dell, service will be provided to you under the terms of the service agreement. Please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.

If you purchased through us a service contract with a third-party service provider, please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.

See www.dell.com/servicecontracts for more details.

May I transfer the limited hardware warranty?

Limited hardware warranties on systems may be transferred if the current owner transfers ownership of the system and records the transfer with us. The limited hardware warranty on Dell-Certified Memory may not be transferred. You may record your transfer by going to Dell's Web site:

¿Qué hará Dell?

Antes de comunicarse con Dell, consulte su manual del propietario o visitehttp://support.dell.com para obtener asesoramiento sobre solución de problemas e instrucciones para ejecutar el diagnóstico de hardware.

Una vez que se haya comunicado con el soporte técnico de Dell, se le solicitará que participe en una sesión de diagnóstico remota con el agente de soporte técnico para ayudar a determinar la causa del problema. El diagnóstico remoto puede requerir que el cliente acceda al interior del producto y sesiones múltiples o prolongadas. Si el agente de soporte técnico de Dell determina que su problema es resultado de un defecto de los materiales o de la mano de obra pero que no se puede resolver de forma remota, Dell, según su exclusivo criterio, puede enviarle una pieza de reemplazo, disponer que usted envíe el producto o la pieza defectuosa al depósito de reparaciones de Dell o reemplazar el producto con un producto similar que puede ser nuevo o readaptado. Únicamente para los clientes de Alienware, Dell también puede elegir enviar a un técnico de servicio a su ubicación para que lleve a cabo la reparación (consulte la información importante sobre servicio en el hogar después de un diagnóstico remoto).

Si determinamos que el problema no está cubierto bajo esta garantía limitada de hardware, podremos ofrecerle alternativas de servicio por una tarifa.

Utilizamos piezas nuevas y readaptadas de varios fabricantes para las reparaciones y la construcción de piezas y productos de reemplazo cubiertos por la garantía. Las piezas y los productos readaptados son piezas o productos que se han devuelto a Dell, algunos de los cuales nunca fueron utilizados por los clientes. Todas las piezas y productos se inspeccionan y se prueban para asegurar su calidad. Las piezas y los productos de reemplazo están cubiertos por el resto del periodo de la garantía limitada de hardware del producto que compró. Dell es propietario de todas las piezas retiradas de productos reparados y, en la mayoría de los casos, se le solicitará que devuelva las piezas defectuosas a Dell.

Dell puede usar representantes autorizados para proporcionar cualquiera de los servicios de soporte técnico o reparación cubiertos por esta garantía limitada de hardware.

Información importante acerca de la devolución de productos a Dell para su reparación o reemplazo:

Una vez que un agente de soporte técnico de Dell haya determinado que su producto debe devolverse a Dell para su reparación o reemplazo, le enviaremos un número de autorización de devolución que debe incluir en la devolución. Debe devolvernos los productos en su embalaje original o equivalente, pagar por anticipado el envío y asegurar el envío o aceptar el riesgo de que el producto se pierda o dañe durante el envío. Le enviaremos los productos reparados o de reemplazo. Pagaremos el envío de los productos reparados o de reemplazo si tiene una dirección en Estados Unidos (sin incluir Puerto Rico y las posesiones y territorios de EE.UU.). De lo contrario, le enviaremos el producto con pago en destino. Cuando se comunica con nosotros por motivo de ciertos productos, como teléfonos inteligentes o tablets, es posible que le ofrezcamos enviarle un producto de reemplazo antes de recibir la devolución del producto original. En tal caso, le solicitaremos un número de tarjeta de crédito válida al momento en que solicita un producto de reemplazo. No le cobraremos ni facturaremos el producto de reemplazo siempre y cuando nos devuelva el producto original dentro de los diez días posteriores al recibo del producto de reemplazo y nosotros confirmemos que el problema de su producto está cubierto por esta garantía limitada de hardware. Si no recibimos el producto original dentro de los 10 días, cargaremos el precio estándar que tenga el producto en ese momento a su tarjeta de crédito o le enviaremos una factura por ese precio. Si cuando recibimos su producto original determinamos que el problema no está cubierto por esta garantía limitada de hardware, le daremos la oportunidad de devolver la unidad de reemplazo, a su cargo, dentro de los diez (10) días posteriores a la fecha en que nos comunicamos con usted por motivo de la falta de cobertura para su problema o de lo contrario cargaremos el precio estándar que tenga el producto en ese momento a su tarjeta de crédito o le enviaremos una factura por ese precio. Además, si no realiza los pagos a Dell por el monto de tal factura, Dell puede suspender el soporte de garantía limitada de hardware hasta que se salde el monto de la factura. La suspensión de la garantía limitada de hardware por incumplimiento de la devolución adecuada de un producto no afectará los términos de su garantía limitada de hardware y la garantía limitada de hardware caducará según los términos originales.

NOTA: antes de enviarnos los productos, asegúrese de tener una copia de respaldo de los datos que se encuentran en los discos duros y en cualquier otro dispositivo de almacenamiento de los productos. Quite toda información confidencial, propietaria o personal y los medios extraíbles como unidades de disquete, CD o tarjetas para PC. No somos responsables de su información confidencial, propietaria o personal, de datos perdidos o corrompidos ni de daños o pérdidas de medios extraíbles. Incluya únicamente los componentes del producto que el técnico le pidió por teléfono.

Información importante acerca de los envíos de piezas de Dell:

Para algunos problemas, Dell puede enviar una pieza nueva o readaptada para que reemplace la pieza defectuosa, si creemos que la pieza defectuosa debe reemplazarse. Debe devolver la pieza defectuosa a Dell. Cuando se comunique con nosotros, es posible que le ofrezcamos enviarle una pieza de reemplazo antes de recibir su pieza original. En tal caso, le pediremos un número de tarjeta de crédito válida al momento en que solicita una pieza de reemplazo, pero no le cobraremos ni le facturaremos la pieza de reemplazo, siempre y cuando nos devuelva la pieza original dentro de los diez días posteriores a la recepción de la pieza de reemplazo. Si no devuelve la pieza defectuosa a Dell en tiempo oportuno de conformidad con las instrucciones escritas proporcionadas con la pieza de reemplazo, es posible que se suspenda el soporte de la garantía limitada de hardware o se cargue a su tarjeta de crédito o se le facture el monto del precio estándar de esa pieza de Dell de ese momento. La suspensión de la garantía limitada de hardware por incumplimiento de la devolución adecuada de una pieza no afectará los términos de su garantía limitada de hardware y la garantía limitada de hardware caducará según los términos originales.

Pagaremos el envío de la pieza a una dirección en Estados Unidos (sin incluir Puerto Rico y las posesiones y territorios de EE.UU.). De lo contrario, le enviaremos la pieza con pago en destino. También incluiremos con la pieza de reemplazo un contenedor de envío prepago para que lo utilice cuando nos envíe la pieza reemplazada.

NOTA: antes de reemplazar las piezas, asegúrese de tener una copia de respaldo de los datos que se encuentran en los discos duros y en cualquier otro dispositivo de almacenamiento en los productos. Quite toda información confidencial, propietaria o personal y los medios extraíbles como unidades de disquete, CD o tarjetas para PC. No somos responsables de su información confidencial, propietaria o personal, de datos perdidos o corrompidos ni de daños o pérdidas de medios extraíbles. Incluya únicamente los componentes del producto que el técnico le pidió por teléfono.

Información importante acerca del servicio en el hogar después de un diagnóstico remoto (únicamente para clientes de Alienware):

Si Dell determina que su problema está cubierto por esta garantía limitada de hardware y el técnico no puede solucionar su problema por teléfono, o, si corresponde, mediante el envío de una pieza o producto de reemplazo, entonces Dell puede enviar a un técnico de servicio a su ubicación dentro de los Estados Unidos (incluido Puerto Rico, pero no incluidas otras posesiones y territorios de EE.UU.). Informe al técnico la dirección completa de la ubicación de su sistema. Tanto el tiempo de la prestación del servicio como el de respuesta del servicio dependen del momento del día en que Dell reciba su llamada, la alternativa de servicio que compró, la disponibilidad de piezas, las restricciones geográficas, las condiciones climáticas y los términos de esta garantía limitada de hardware. Debe haber un adulto presente durante todo el tiempo que dure la visita del técnico de servicio. Debe garantizar al técnico de servicio completo acceso al sistema (sin costo alguno para Dell) y debe tener un espacio de trabajo, electricidad y una línea local de teléfono. Si no se cumplen estos requisitos, Dell no está obligado a prestar el servicio. Además, Dell no está obligado a proporcionar servicios si usted no ofrece un entorno que sea conducente para la reparación de la computadora, como por ejemplo, si insiste en que el servicio se preste en diferentes ubicaciones, si no controla a su mascota, si amenaza a nuestro técnico ya sea verbal o físicamente, si la ubicación o el área general en la que se encuentra el sistema es peligrosa o si está infectada por insectos o tiene una peste de roedores, si tiene peligros biológicos, excremento o químicos humanos o animales y nuestro técnico determina razonablemente que el entorno es inseguro. Si usted o sus representantes autorizados no se encuentran en la ubicación cuando llega el técnico del servicio, el técnico no podrá prestar el servicio a su sistema y es posible que se le cobre una suma adicional por una llamada de servicio de seguimiento.

Si el técnico que lo atiende por teléfono determina que su sistema necesita una pieza de reemplazo, usted autoriza al técnico in situ a actuar como su agente de servicio para manejar el envío y la devolución de las piezas cubiertas necesarias para prestar las reparaciones in situ. Puede que se le cobre un cargo adicional si no permite al técnico in situ devolver a Dell las unidades o piezas cubiertas que no funcionen o que no se utilicen.

¿Que sucede si compré un contrato de servicio?

Si su contrato de servicio es con Dell, se le proporcionará servicio bajo los términos del acuerdo de servicio. Consulte dicho material para obtener detalles acerca de cómo obtener el servicio.

Si compró a través de nosotros un contrato de servicio con un tercero proveedor del servicio, consulte dicho contrato para obtener información acerca de cómo obtener el servicio.

Visite www.dell.com/servicecontracts para obtener más detalles.

Durante el periodo de garantía limitada, la empresa repara o reemplaza todas las piezas defectuosas que se devuelvan a las instalaciones de la empresa.

Para solicitar el servicio de reemplazo de piezas de la garantía limitada, debe comunicarse con el Departamento de servicio al cliente de la empresa dentro del periodo de garantía limitada. Si se requiere servicio de reemplazo de piezas de la garantía limitada, la empresa emite un número de autorización de devolución de material (RMA).

Si una pieza a ser reemplazada entra en el periodo de garantía, la empresa envía la pieza de reemplazo con envío express antes de recibir la pieza defectuosa de su parte. Debe enviar la pieza defectuosa a la empresa en su embalaje original o equivalente, pagar por anticipado el envío y asegurar el envío o aceptar el riesgo de pérdida o daño durante el envío. Si la empresa no recibe la pieza fallada dentro de los quince (15) días laborables posteriores a la fecha en que se envió la pieza de reemplazo al cliente o si la unidad no se envía en el embalaje especificado, se le facturará al cliente la pieza de reemplazo al precio de lista.

El embalaje debe estar etiquetado en el exterior de la caja de envío con el número RMA proporcionado por el servicio al cliente de la empresa. No se aceptan los productos devueltos si hay daños causados por factores externos, incluidos accidentes, maltrato, uso indebido, desastres naturales o no naturales, causas fortuitas, problemas con la alimentación eléctrica, mantenimiento no autorizado por la empresa, incumplimiento de las instrucciones de uso del producto, incumplimiento del mantenimiento preventivo requerido, problemas causados por el uso de piezas o componentes no provistos por la empresa y daños causados durante el envío de las piezas defectuosas a la empresa para su reparación. Si es evidente que el daño fue causado por estos motivos, se facturarán al CLIENTE las piezas de reemplazo al precio de lista.
