Dells warrenties...i got a question on it

You mean the 24" monitor right? Dell doesn't have service tags for those. Keep a copy of your order/invoice number for future warranty service. Been there, done that. They're able to service the monitors so long as you can provide proof of purchase without a serial number or service tag on a monitor that was purchased separately from a computer.

I was always of the opinion that Dell needed to change that...

do 1saleaday invoice is good right? Did you see my thread on monitor flickering...started right after i made this thread.

I'm not sure. Last time I used an eBay invoice for it that was not sufficient -- I had to provide them with the original Dell invoice for service. Needless to say when the seller did not provide that, and the monitor was in such poor condition to start with, PayPal forced him to give me a refund. That was back in 2005 so Dell's policies might have changed; I highly doubt it though.

if 1saleaday invoice down the road is not good enough that is a load of crap...i will be so frac'n pissed

Well, you could try calling them and requesting an RMA -- and simply not go through with it. Or tell them something stupid like the monitor won't turn on, get to the point where the guy offers an RMA (or says it isn't possible), and then tell him nevermind since you just discovered you forgot to plug the monitor in. Point is you can test this now and see if you can get service -- poor guy has to waste his time but that's Dell's fault for not having a good system for warranty support on monitors.
