    Call Dell and find out. You should have the standard 1 year warranty.

    I think you missed the 'note' below the service tag search box. See attached image. Fill out the form and you should be fine.

    You added complete care after recieving the Unit?

    Arent they supposed to only do complete care when shipping out (ie if you drop it, add complete care after)

    Unless dell changed their policy, you should be able to add CC or extend your warranty at any time during initial coverage. I added CC coverage to another unit roughly 3 months after receiving.
