bodminman Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Hi there, one of our chinese students has dropped his Alienware laptop which has resulted in a broken screen. It was originally purchased in china (legit I believe) but I would like to know if there is an authorised UK based repair centre. Cheers
X-13 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 If still under warranty: It all depends on the warranty. If they offer international support, then yes, Dell will fix it. If not: Still get onto Dell. They may point you in the right direction. Sidenote: I wouldn't have looked into this. Personal laptop != my problem. [unless I'm being paid to look at it.] 1
bondbill2k2 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Point him towards ebay for a screen, if he is one to purchase alienware he is probably a geeky gamer kid who will be able to replace it himself, as X-13 said your helping him out giving him advice but its it you responsibility for someone's personal laptop? 1
AngryTechnician Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 I know that with US-bought Dell laptops, if they are still under warranty you can transfer the warranty to the UK. It should be available for other countries too. Try the service tag on this site: Ownership-Tag Transfer | Dell 1
bodminman Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks. I'll give Dell a ring for him. He's a gamer but a) doesn't have a clue about computers and b) his english isn't the best! Cheers chaps!
X-13 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 He's a gamer but a) doesn't have a clue about computers I think that much is evident by the fact he has an alienware computer. 1
