Warranty Issues
Dell will not honor a warranty when the laptop is purchased from a third party. They will ask you for proof of purchase and when you provide they will ask you for an invoice. Most purchases today are online and invoices are not provided. They refuse to acknowledge the proof of purchase and/or provide the warranty.

The issue usually arises when a system has an unrecognized service tag number -- not when systems are purchased through authorized sources (Amazon.com itself --NOT third parties, retailers such as Best Buy, etc.). If that's the case -- that the system was purchased other than through an authorized outlet, you need to ask your seller for an explanation. If none is forthcoming, return the system for a refund.
