    Warranty policies here:

    Without the original order number you're probably out of luck.  Monitor warranties vary greatly depending on how the monitor was originally purchased and if with a computer, what the original computer system warranty period was.

    Why do people buy from ScamBay.  I mean EBay.  The deals may look good but you have a much better chance of getting ripped off.

    Under the shipping label I found the original name and order number of the EBay reseller will that help or do I need more information for Dell?

    You can try with the original order number but there may still be an issue if the reseller did not transfer ownership info to you with Dell.  Give it a try though.

    Not necessarily.  If this monitor was sold with a computer that had a 1 year warranty, then the monitor would also have only a 1 year warranty.

    I believe if you don't have any info it should default to a 3 year warranty based off of the date of manufacturing from the serial number on the monitor.

     The order number is usually on the box somewhere, do you still have the box?
