Transferring warranty and ownership problem
Hi,
I bought an inspiron 5448 from Singapore from a retail store. And I registered my product while I was in Singapore. But Now I am in Sri Lanka and my laptop went dead yesterday. I am still within international warranty period. So when I contacted service provider for Dell in Sri Lanka (Softlogic) they asked me to transfer the warranty to Sri Lanka.
So when I try to transfer it , after entering the service tag in the very first step of the process I get a message
'This system cannot be transferred at this time. Please go to Retail Registration to register your system.'
Since I have already registered there's nothing I can do further in retail registration. It says 'your pc has already registered'. Since my Laptop is dead and I need to solve this issue quickly. PLEASE HELP.

Was the system purchased with just a basic warranty? If so, that cannot be transferred internationally. In order to qualify for an international warranty transfer, the system must be upgraded (at extra cost) to an onsite service warranty.

I hope very much that you were able to resolve the issue with the Dell. Please share your experience, particularly with Softlogic - may be they are into too many things now.
I bought mine (3 in all, one each for my wife and daughter) in the US and transferred it to SL as soon as I got back. But I had a vertical line a few months later and a few weeks ago handed over to Softlogic.
The initial response was "We do not take International Warranty items". Then they accepted on the basis that I pay for labour charges (Rs5,500).
The replacement was got from the US by them, replaced and returned withing 3 weeks.
I later got to know that there is another/better Dell agent - Samson Infotec.
I have always bought Dell although I have been advised against it, may be next time I'll try Samson Infotec.
Even Dell does not have Sri Lanka in their drop down menu for locations !
