Notice: I retired from Dell Forum roughly 5 years ago. Many things have changed but not the volunteers that support the forum, fantastic group of people ! I have stored many of the old articles and such and will keep the page up for the older systems and simple nostalgia. Phone Dell Spare Parts # 1-800-357-3355 x 6993772 M-F 8 to 5 CDT and have the system's "Service Tag" handy. |
