    I highly doubt it. Is it still under manufacturers warranty? You may be able to if Dell has some sort of refurbishing program (like Apple's iPod).

    I think you have to buy the extended warranty while its still covered with the original warranty. Does it have any sort of warranty left?

    You'd think it would. Is it possible to check with Dell? They usually have records based on the machines serial number to see if its under warranty or not. Get proof of purchase from the seller in any case.
