For the telephone number to call for your region, see "Contacting Dell" on
page 179.
2
Include a copy of the invoice and a letter describing the reason for the
return.
3
Include a copy of the Diagnostics Checklist (see "Diagnostics Checklist"
on page 178), indicating the tests that you have run and any error
messages reported by the Dell Diagnostics (see "Dell Diagnostics" on
page 101).
4
Include any accessories that belong with the item(s) being returned
(power cables, software floppy disks, guides, and so on) if the return is for
credit.
5
Pack the equipment to be returned in the original (or equivalent) packing
materials.
