#DELL LAPTOP EXTENDED WARRANTY HOW TO#
#DELL LAPTOP EXTENDED WARRANTY UPDATE#

A representative got back to me in around 13 minutes and directly messaged me a guide on how to pin Microsoft Edge to my taskbar (not what I asked for). So I took to them directly on Twitter to see if they would respond.

It then told me I was out of warranty and couldn't help, but sent links for warranty support and call support.ДЄfter I reupped the warranty, there was no response. Before I realized the warranty had expired on this laptop, I directly messaged Dell on Twitter and asked, 'How do I download the new Microsoft Edge browser?' I was greeted by a bot, unfortunately, which asked for my service tag. However, my experience with Dell's social media support was bittersweet. Support teams can be reached via Twitter Facebook (/Dell), YouTube and Dell community forums. If live chat isn't your thing, you can reach out to Dell on social media. After that, everything went smoothly, and by 1:36 p.m., I had the app setup and connected from the laptop to my phone. I appreciated the thoroughness of the process to ensure I knew what was happening and that I had the chance to agree to everything. Within the remote session software, there are prompts asking if I wanted to share my screen, give over control of my mouse and keyboard and access administrator features. Then, it asked 'Tell us the nature of the request,' and, depending on the request, it offered me a link to a specific support site, and below were different methods of contacting Dell. Unfortunately, the site failed to identify my laptop, so those options were grayed out. On the Technical Support page, the website has to identify your laptop before you can select your contact method: email, chat or call. The number shouldвЂ™ve just been listed within the SupportAssist app. However, the 'Contact Us' button just leads you to a website, which'll force you to go through another link dubbed 'Technical Support,' and finally, a page where you can hit a drop-down button to get to the main support number (1-80). The Get Support tab lists where you can contact Dell, whether it be by phone, live chat or email.
