Troubleshooting Tips

and ensure that the part is correctly installed.
• If a peripheral device does not work, ensure that the device is properly connected.
• If an error message appears on the screen, write down the exact message. The message may
help technical support personnel diagnose and fix the problem(s).

Guide , go to support.dell.com (on another computer if necessary) to access your User’s
