What is the appropriate service response for a Dell system factory-installed with Windows 10 identified with a faulty motherboard?

The appropriate service response involves the replacement of the faulty motherboard, which is a critical hardware component of the system. In this scenario, when a Dell system factory-installed with Windows 10 is identified as having a faulty motherboard, it must be addressed with a hardware solution. Therefore, dispatching a replacement motherboard along with a Windows Universal Replacement DPK (Dynamic Package Key) is the standard procedure.

This response is particularly important because the DPK ensures that the replacement component is compatible with the existing system configuration and will allow the system to function correctly after the repair operation. It also highlights that in scenarios involving hardware failures, particularly significant components like motherboards, the direct replacement is often the most effective way to restore the system to full operational status.

In contrast, software updates would not resolve a hardware issue, and while local repair may offer service, it does not guarantee immediate resolution through part replacement. Peripherals, while potentially important, are not relevant to the resolution of a motherboard issue unless explicitly specified in the service agreement, making the focus on the motherboard replacement the most effective course of action.
