>>Swedish customer support they informed me there was no way to get a repair outside of Sweden, since that’s where I had bought the laptop.

That's odd, I've had my UK-bought XPS repaired in Poland without any issue, just rang dell customer service and a local engineer came over the next day and replaced the motherboard on the living room table. It wasn't ever questioned that the laptop wasn't bought in Poland.

It was quite a few years ago now, so I don't remember the details exactly. It might have been something specific about it being a battery issue. In any case, I remembering spoking to both customer support in Sweden and Japan and was informed that I couldn't get it repaired in Japan.

It's entirely possible that the issue wasn't being out of Sweden, it was being out of Europe. I think Dell warranties are region specific.

I was going to write exactly this! Bought XPS in UK in 2017 and repaired in Poland in 2018.
