When does the 1 year Dell MFG warranty start? And, how does it become active?

Typically it starts when the PC was invoiced to the end user. If you can get the service tag, you can look up the remaining warranty, or when it expired on Dell's website. I purchase quite a few refurbished Dell products on Amazon, some have a remaining warranty, some do not.

It depends when the seller purchased it. I realized after mine was shipped that it almost ran off. When I emailed the seller, that I want to return it, he offered to give me a credit to pay for an extra year. You have to call Dell (or do online) & change ownership.

Depends. I bought my Dell PC from Best Buy and the warranty began on the date of my purchase. I've bought new laptops for business from Amazon resellers and the warranty took effect when they (not me) originally received them from Dell. For a fee, you can always extend the warranty directly through Dell.

I think so, because there is a program installed by Dell that states that the warranty expires almost a year from now. Nonetheless, I did not like the way this computer works... It's slow and bad quality over all

The computers I have for sale don't come with a standard Dell warranty. The warranty is provided by a third party and is for a year.

1 year is standard. You can get another 2-5 years additional warranty through dell.

Yes, mine has a 16 month warranty for limited technical service from Dell and on site service from another company. Fortunately, I haven't had to test out how much support they'll really provide.

It comes with Dell's standard warranty, which is 1 year in home repair if the problem can't be fixed remotely.

That is a good question. I got the amazon warranty. But I cannot be sure about a warranty from Dell.

They usually come with at least a one year warranty. It should be with the paperwork that came with the laptop. You can also contact Dell directly. I gave this as a gift so I cannot say definitively, but this is what I suspect.

I am not sure about the warranty it is either 90 days or a year? I am more inclined to say a year. You can check out the manufactures site and fund out. My battery is still going strong. My Dell laptop Inspiron 1721 is an energy hog. The battery would last for 2 hours if the laptop didn't have to run updates. I just keep the laptop in case I need it in a hurry and can't take my desktop.

Hi -- I'm happy to say I haven't had to put in a warranty call, but I do see that several people have commented that Dell is refusing support if it's bought from Amazon. If that's the case it sounds like the start of a class action to me. Nothing in the description says that it is not covered by the standard manufacturer's warranty. But I wonder if the three year warranty is an inducement that Dell offers to get customers to buy directly from them?

http://support.dell.com/ Put in your Service or Express service code and if you have a valid warranty you can call and have it repaired.

The one I ordered was listed under new categories by third party. Turned out to have an expired warranty. Real brand new is typically warrantied by Dell for one year. Make sure you register your purchase with Dell.com then you can check warranty status with them using service tag.

The factory warranty on my Dell XPS X8700-630BK Desktop is 15 months but I believe the standard is 12 months. I also purchased an extended 3 year warranty from an outside source. Dell will also extend the warranty at additional cost as long as the extension is purchased while the device is still under the original warranty.

1 YEAR LIMITED HARDWARE WARRANTY . http://content.dell.com/us/en/gen/d/solutions/limited-hardware-warranties.aspx

The paperwork in the box says three years, and there is no asterisk or even smaller print that says it only applies if purchased through Dell direct. What I really find curious is how some reviews state the warranty is only one year, yet this particular monitor, the 3014, has not been available for a year, so how would anyone know they're only honoring the first year of warranty?
