Mail-in repairs

Mail-in repairs are limited to laptops and tablets.

Before initiating a repair request, note the following:

  • Back up your information.
  • Request a loaner laptop. If your computer is currently in a functioning state, request the loaner prior to shipping it to the vendor.
  • Process tagging repair payment back to your DLC if your repair is done directly through the vendor.
