How Do I Get Technical Support for My Dell Computer?

So your Dell computer is encountering technical difficulties. You have tried all the troubleshooting options you know and those that your operating software has presented to you but all have failed and the problem persists. The question you are currently asking yourself is, "Where do I go from here?" The answer is that several paths lay ahead of you each of them leading to you getting technical support for your Dell computer. The difference is the speed at which they will get you there. The following are the ways you can utilize to acquire technical support for your Dell computer:

Website

On Dell's website they have a technical support page where they can help you get technical support. The page prompts you to input your Dell Service Tag or Dell EMC Product ID where possible technical difficulties will be presented. If you click a relevant topic, the solution will be right below it. If you have neither the Dell Service Tag nor the Dell EMC Product ID you can click the 'Detect my PC' tab and the site will be able to evaluate the model of your Dell computer and present you with a list of possible technical problems affecting your computer.

Phone Number

Another great avenue to obtain technical support for your Dell computer is to call their technical support department directly. Calling technical support has several advantages. One of them is that it is quick. You only have to wait for about 7 minutes to talk to a technical expert from Dell. Another advantage is that you can apply the solutions with the technician on the line and see if it works or not. Such real time application cannot be matched by the other avenues. The number is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It can be acquired from GetHuman.

Live Chat

Dell's Tech support live chat is also a great option if your Dell computer is facing technical difficulties. Live agents from Dell's technical support team are available all day, every day. You can apply fixes given via live chat instantaneously and offer feedback just as swiftly. It is easy to fix the problem using this avenue. On the contrary, you may have to wait for up to 2 hours to get a technician on the other end of the chat. The link to Dell's Tech support live chat can be obtained from GetHuman.

Sending an email to Dell's tech support is faster than the live chat. You can expect to get a response within 3 hours of sending your email.

With modern technology you do not have to worry about grammar and spelling. You should utilize this avenue for highly technical issues that would be difficult to convey otherwise.
