So what should I do with my Dell LCD?

I got my new DELL UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1 LCD yesterday because my old one crapped out... It took only 2 days to get it! Now after I talked to customer service on Sat., they sent me an email...it said this:

If Dell requires the defective part to be returned to Dell, you will find a
return air bill in the box.
Guess what? No return air bill or any paperwork at all! Really weird..I called Dell to followup, but if they don't want it...what should I do? Is it difficult repairing these monitors? I'm almost positive the video card in the monitor needs to be replaced...but not 100% sure....

I already have a dual monitor setup.. I probably will fix and sell my other one, or just this one... but wondering if the price of fixing is worth it.

You should double check in the box, maybe between the foams just to make sure there is no return bill. It would suck if they billed you for a new monitor...

I'm almost positive they'll know from the Serial Number. I had to give it to them @ the first initial call.
