    I'm on the most basic warranty(1 year) on Dell Outlet. After talking with the dell support guy on the phone about my faulty HD on my referb inspiron 1545 that i just received, he said he was going to send me a replacement Hard Drive for me to install.

    I forgot to ask him at the time, but do you think I will be charged for the replacement?


    Don't believe I should be, but if I am it is really going to frustrate me because I could easily replace it for cheaper than what they might charge me.

    If it is being replaced under your warranty, I am pretty sure they will not charge you for the replacement.

    They always tell you that you are going to be charged, I have been going through a month long ordeal with them and they always tell me when they are going to charge me.

    It's a warranty replacement. Unless you damage something yourself, you should not have to pay for any repairs or replacements during your year of warranty coverage.

    Hey squirtle11,

    Don't worry about it.
    Man you are in a warranty period then why should you have to pay?

    Besides this Dell having a great customer services.
    So when you get the service you will understand that what you have.

    OK.
